The evolution of neural activity during a perceptual decision is well characterized by the evidence parameter in sequential sampling models. However, it is not known whether accumulating signals in human neuroimaging are related to the integration of evidence. Our aim was to determine whether activity accumulates in a nonperceptual task by identifying brain regions tracking the strength of prob...

this paper aims to prepare intellectual capital component by satisfactory design. satisfaction of employees, customers and residual benefit are the main core of present measurements. the correct position of these items in the financial statements are proposed by correcting entries, then the impact of these elements are investigated on the return on equity, revenue growth and economic value adde...

we used wild boars and roe deer as biomonitors of lead (pb), cadmium (cd), and mercury (hg)contamination in two major industrial sites in poland with different levels of toxic metal pollution. masurianlakes district, located far away from industry, was used as the reference site. levels of pb, cd, and hg in liver,kidney and muscle samples and in the stomach content of the animals were determine...

In this paper, we propose new Euler flux functions for use in a finite-volume Euler/Navier–Stokes code, which are very simple, carbuncle-free, yet have an excellent boundary-layer-resolving capability, by combining two different Riemann solvers into one based on a rotated Riemann solver approach. We show that very economical Euler flux functions can be devised by combining the Roe solver (a ful...

BACKGROUND The understanding of the individual shape and mobility of the lumbar spine are key factors for the prevention and treatment of low back pain. The influence of age and sex on the total lumbar lordosis and the range of motion as well as on different lumbar sub-regions (lower, middle and upper lordosis) in asymptomatic subjects still merits discussion, since it is essential for patient-...

We apply a dynamic energy budget (DEB) model to the Icelandic capelin (Mallotus villosus) and introduce a new state variable to capture the roe production of individual fish. Species-specific coefficients are found for the capelin such as the shape coefficient and the Arrhenius temperature. We show how to link the DEB model to measurable quantities such as weight, length, fat, and roe content. ...

UNLABELLED A crooked nose is the result of deformities that might involve the bony nasal pyramid, the upper and lower lateral cartilages, and nasal septum, causing complaints of aesthetic and/or functional nature. PURPOSE To evaluate how satisfied are those patients who underwent rhinoplasty to correct crooked nose, through the questionnaire Rhinoplasty Outcomes Evaluation (ROE). MATERIAL A...

Faecal samples from 162 wild animals were collected from 32 distinct sites of Łęczyńsko-Włodawskie Lakeland (eastern Poland). The presence of Giardia duodenalis (Stiles, 1902) was assessed by a Direct Fluorescence Assay (DFA) and by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and sequencing of a fragment of the beta-giardin gene. DFA showed the presence of cysts of G. duodenalis in 12 of 162 faecal samples...

Financial structure is a combination of debt and equity and regards as one of the most important issues in banking industry. The purpose of financial structure decision is to create an appropriate combination of financing resources to minimize the cost of capital and thus maximize the company's market value. This study investigates the impacts of banks financial structure on their Returns (ROA ...
