Past research has shown that strong emotional or motivational states can cause normally restrained eaters to overeat. In this article it is argued that simple cognitive load can also disinhibit eating by restrained eaters. Two studies examined this disinhibition effect. In Study 1, restrained and unrestrained eaters were given the opportunity to consume high-calorie food while performing either...

The purpose of the study was to investigate the effects of load on the net moment response at the L5/S1 joint during simulated slip events. Six young individuals were instructed to take one step with a handheld load. Sudden floor movement was randomly introduced to simulate unexpected slips. Different loads conditions (0%, 10%, 20%, 30% of body weight) were introduced at random. Three-dimension...

Direct Search (DS) methods are evolutionary algorithms used to solve constrained optimization problems. DS methods do not require information about the gradient of the objective function while searching for an optimum solution. One of such methods is Pattern Search (PS) algorithm. This study examines the usefulness of a constrained pattern search algorithm to solve well-known power system Econo...

This paper presents the results of an experimental study axial capacity circular spirally-reinforced concrete columns that were subjected to accelerated corrosion while sustaining a constant compressive service load. Two sets five each designed with different spiral pitch investigate effect confinement on propagation. Columns non-confining reinforcement had only their longitudinal reinforcing s...

Electrical energy occupies the top position in hierarchy and its demand is not always met Osogbo due to overloading of distribution transformers. In past, several methods have been used solve problem load forecasting like Parametric Methods, Trend Analysis, Isolated Area Load Forecasting, Long Short Time Forecasting. These are often inaccurate since an expensive overestimation results substanti...

Lavie (1995) have suggested that perceptual processing is influenced by perceptual load. Specifically, relevant information receives additional processing in high load situations exhausting the available capacity. On the other hand, irrelevant information receives less processing with increasing load on a relevant task, as there is a reduced amount of residual processing available. Rees et al. ...
