Interactions between the neural correlates of short-term memory (STM) and attention have been actively studied in the visual STM domain but much less in the verbal STM domain. Here we show that the same attention mechanisms that have been shown to shape the neural networks of visual STM also shape those of verbal STM. Based on previous research in visual STM, we contrasted the involvement of a ...

The need for calculating actions has been emerged everywhere and in any time, by advancing of information technology. Cloud computing is the latest response to such needs. Prominent popularity has recently been created for Cloud computing systems. Increasing cloud efficiency is an important subject of consideration. Heterogeneity and diversity among different resources and requests of users in ...

In this report, we discuss a metric that characterizes the load of a sporadic task system. We give an exact, exponential-time algorithm that determines a task system’s load by essentially simulating the execution of task system. In addition, we also give an algorithm that can determine the load of a task system within an arbitrarily small threshold > 0. While the worst-case time complexity of t...

The rapid development of wearable computing technologies has led to an increased involvement devices in the daily lives people. main power sources are batteries; so, researchers must ensure high performance while reducing consumption and improving battery life devices. purpose this study is analyze new features Energy-Aware Scheduler (EAS) Android 7.1.2 operating system scarcity EAS schedulers ...

Motivated by the concept of Communicative Language Ability and the eminence of the IELTS exam, this study intended to scrutinize the representation of functional knowledge (FK) and socio-linguistic knowledge (SK) as sub-components of pragmatic knowledge in the writing performances of both tasks of the online General IELTS-practice resources across three band scores. This quantitative inter-scor...

Previous studies claimed that task representation is carried out by the activated long-term memory portion of working memory (WM; Meiran and Kessler in J Exp Psychol Human Percept Perform 34:137-157, 2008). The present study provides a more direct support for this hypothesis. We used the reaction-time task-rule congruency effect (RT-TRCE) in a task-switching setup, and tested the effects of loa...

In prospective memory tasks different kinds of load can occur. Adding a prospective memory task can impose a load on ongoing task performance. Adding ongoing task load (OTL) can affect prospective memory performance. The existence of multiple target events increases prospective load (PL) and adding complexity to the to-be-remembered action increases retrospective load (RL). In two experiments, ...

This paper develops a computational technique for finding the maximum allowable load of mobile manipulators for a given trajectory. The maximum allowable loads which can be achieved by a mobile manipulator during a given trajectory are limited by the number of factors; probably the dynamic properties of mobile base and mounted manipulator, their actuator limitations and additional constraints a...

Traditionally, the neurophysiological mechanisms of cognitive processing have been investigated at the single cell level. Here we show that the dynamic, millisecond-by-millisecond, interactions between neuronal events measured by local field potentials are modulated in an orderly fashion by key task variables of a space categorization task performed by monkeys. These interactions were stronger ...
