LaBerge's Triangular Theory of Attention contributes to several important topics in the study of visual attention. First, it expands on the discussion of whether attentive influences manifest themselves as neural suppression or enhancement; LaBerge seems to favour the enhancement viewpoint. Second, the paper proposes circuit loops (triangles by nature of three nodes in the loop) that may be res...

background evaluation of the craniofacial bones is the oldest method to measure the facial proportion ratio in orthodontics. objectives the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of emboss enhancement on the reliability of landmark identification in digital lateral cephalometric images. materials and methods ten digital lateral cephalograms were selected from the archive of an oral an...

We have recently shown that subdiaphragmatic vagotomy enhances bradykinin-induced hyperalgesic behavior and decreases baseline paw withdrawal threshold to mechanical stimulation of the hindpaw skin in rats by a peripheral mechanism. To elucidate the underlying mechanism, we studied whether lesions of efferent neuroendocrine pathways could prevent or reverse the potentiating effect of vagotomy. ...

Past research (Sedikides, Herbst, Hardin, & Dardis, 2002) has shown that accountability (the expectation to explain, justify, and defend one’s self-judgments to an audience) curtails self-enhancement due to identifiability and evaluation expectancy concerns. The authors report an experiment that established focus on one’s weaknesses as the mechanism through which evaluation expectancy reduces s...

Hormonal modulation of hepatic plasma membrane lactate transport was studied in primary cultures of isolated hepatocytes from fed rats to examine the mechanism for the known enhancement of lactate transport in starvation and diabetes. Total cellular lactate entry was increased by 14% in the presence of dexamethasone; this was accounted for by an approximately 40% increase in the carrier-mediate...

the present paper compares full kinetics mechanisms in numerical modelling of porous radiant burners (prb), with their reduced forms. the two most frequently used mechanisms of methane combustion (gri3.0 and miller) were selected and their effects were examined on temperature, species concentration, burning speed, and pollutant emission. while the findings of numerical simulation of prb show fi...

Aggregate demand models extending IS/LM fixed price framework yield an enhancement mechanism of the traditional monetary transmission mechanism, the credit channel, which, according to the credit view, works through the ‘balance sheet channel’ and the ‘bank lending channel’. In this paper I modify the augmented IS/LM model assuming that investments may be financed by both internal and external ...
