Abstract Energy and humanitarian action have long been uneasy bedfellows. In the field, many practitioners lack time or remit to engage with a complex issue such as energy, topic date has received relatively little attention from private, development academic sectors. This paper hopes provide more clarity on energy in forced displacement settings by analysing how is interwoven cluster system. t...

Normally, we do not act within a single effector system only, but rather coordinate actions across several output modules (cross-modal action). Such cross-modal action demands can vary substantially with respect to their complexity in terms of the number of task-relevant response combinations and to-be-retrieved stimulus-response (S-R) mapping rules. In the present study, we study the impact of...

polybrominated diphenyl ethers (pbdes) have been widely used in many products as flameretardants, which resulted in their release into the environment. little is known about the impact of coexisting pbdes on organisms. in this study, the in vivo effects of bde-47 and bde-99 on a suite of biomarkers, acetyl cholinesterase (ache), ethoxyresorufin-o-deethylase (erod), glutathione-s-transferase (gs...

prangos ferulacea is a plant found in the mediterranean and middle-east regions used as carminative, anti-flatulent, emollient and antibacterial herb. it is believed that the coumarins are responsible for some of known effects of  prangos . in this research the relaxant effects of p. ferulacea coumrin rich extract as well as osthole as its main prenylated coumarins were investigated on rat ileu...

Responses in the second of two subsequently performed tasks can speed up compatible responses in the temporally preceding first task. Such backward crosstalk effects (BCEs) represent a challenge to the assumption of serial processing in stage models of human information processing, because they indicate that certain features of the second response have to be represented before the first respons...

Recently, cost-based Autonomous Response System (ARS) proposals are based on intrusion detection analysis. However, the implementation of the analysis in multiclass classification-based ARS potentially leads to a wrong response action set decision. This is because the analysis may produces irrelevant response value, as it is not considering the false possibility in a true positive condition. In...

Recent findings in monkeys suggest that action selection is based on a competition between various action options that are automatically planned by the motor system. Here we discuss data from intracranial EEG recordings in human premotor cortex (PMC) during a bimanual version of the Eriksen flankers test that suggest that the same principles apply to human action decisions. Recording sites in t...
