To keep memories from becoming jumbled, the brain must encode the distinct features of events and situations in a way that allows them to be distinguished from one another—a process called pattern separation. Pattern separation enables us to distinguish dangerous situations from similar ones that pose no risk. People with defects in this ability may be prone to anxi ety disorders. The process o...

Introduction: Today different uses of multileaf collimators(MLC) in different techniques of radiotherapy are common. Due to the use of this facility it is possible to have maximum radiation dose to target volumes and minimum radiation dose to critical tissues surronding treatment volumes. But there are numerouse Linear accelerators in IRAN without MLC. Because of high price of...

Over the last few years there has been a very rapid advancement in the development of communication and information technologies. These developments have been both in hardware and supporting infrastructure as well as in software. The Scottish Universities are fortunate in having broad bandwidth ATM connecting networks which can be used for video conferencing and transferring large amounts of da...

In this paper, we present a power-management methodology targeted toward high-level synthesis of datadominated behavioral descriptions. It is founded on the observation that variable assignment can significantly affect power-management opportunities in the synthesized architecture, i.e., variable assignment determines whether or not spurious operations get executed by functional units in the ar...

Overlap, although short in duration, occurs frequently in multiparty conversation. We show that its duration is approximately log-normal, and inversely proportional to the number of simultaneously speaking parties. Using a simple model, we demonstrate that simultaneous talk tends to end simultaneously less frequently than in begins simultaneously, leading to an arrow of time in chronograms cons...

Patents represent one of the most complete sources of information related to technological change. This paper presents three months of research on U.S. patents in the field of patent analysis. The methodology consists of using search terms to locate the most representative international and US patent classes and determines the overlap of those classes to arrive at the final set of patents and u...
