Adaptive computerized training has been associated with significant enhancements in untrained working memory tasks, but the nature of the cognitive changes that underpin these improvements are not yet fully understood. Here, we investigate the possibility that training stimulates the use of memory-related strategies. In a randomized controlled trial, participants completed four tests of working...

Neuropsychological approach tries to link behavior with brain functions. One of the structural changes and functional disorders that is, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This impaired memory function, learning, emotional processing and cognitive and structural changes in the brain. Various aspects of neuropsychological function have been reported to be abnormal in (PTSD); however, the maj...

The nonstationarity of interferences and array errors may bring fatal degradation to the interference cancellation performance an adaptive beamformer. Covariance matrix tapering (CMT) can produce wide troughs in receiving pattern becomes a promising solution. However, not only full adaption methods but also robust sidelobe canceller widen all nulls symmetrically original directions arrival (DOA...

Robots that can recover from damage did not exist outside science fiction. Here we describe a self-adaptive snake robot that uses shape memory alloy as muscles and an evolutionary algorithm as a method of adaptive control. Experiments demonstrate that if some of the robot’s muscles are deliberately damaged, evolution is able to find new sequences of muscle activations that compensate, thus enab...

We propose a heuristic for a class of vehicle routing problems (VRPs) with minmax objective. These include the Capacitated VRP, the Capacitated VRP with multiple use of vehicles, and the Traveling Salesman Problem with multiple use of vehicles. A tabu search based adaptive memory procedure of instances indicate that the method produces very good solutions within reasonable computing times.
