Neuroscience has advanced our understanding of the neurological basis of reading disability (RD). Yet, no functional imaging work has been reported on the twice-exceptional dyslexic: individuals exhibiting both non-verbal-giftedness and RD. We compared groups of reading-disabled (RD), non-verbally-gifted (G), non-verbally-gifted-RD (GRD), and control (C) adults on validated word-rhyming and spa...

The study aimed at defining the dual-task performance characteristics in healthy children/adolescents on the computerised and the paper and pencil dual-task methods; investigating the effect of task difficulty on dual-task performance; testing if the paper and pencil version of the dual-task method is giving the same results in ADHD and healthy controls; investigating whether the dual-task func...

This paper studies the problem of designing a rational Bézier developable surface pencil with a common isogeodesic, and provides an algorithm for the representation of complicated geometric models in industrial applications which need to satisfy that the shape surface can be developed and a given curve is geodesic. By employing the local Frenet orthonormal frame, the explicit expression of the ...

Linear time-invariant networks are modelled by linear differential-algebraic equations with constant coefficients. These equations can be represented by a matrix pencil. Many publications on this subject are restricted to regular matrix pencils. In particular, the influence of the Weierstrass structure of a regular pencil on the poles of its inverse is well known. In this paper we investigate s...

BACKGROUND Memory and attention are two cognitive domains pivotal for the performance of instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs). The assessment of these functions is still widely carried out with pencil-and-paper tests, which lack ecological validity. The evaluation of cognitive and memory functions while the patients are performing IADLs should contribute to the ecological validity of...
