in this paper, we proposed an algorithm for solving the problem of task scheduling using particle swarm optimization algorithm, with changes in the selection and removing the guide and also using the technique to get away from the bad, to move away from local extreme and diversity. scheduling algorithms play an important role in grid computing, parallel tasks scheduling and sending them to appr...

Complex skill acquisition by performing authentic learning tasks is constrained by limited working memory capacity (Baddeley, 1992). To prevent cognitive overload, task difficulty and support of each newly selected learning task can be adapted to the learner’s competence level and perceived task load, either by some external agent, the learner herself, or both. Health sciences students (N = 55)...

Grasp stability during object manipulation is achieved by the grip forces applied normal to the grasped surfaces increasing and decreasing in phase with increases and decreases of destabilizing load forces applied tangential to the grasped surfaces. This force coordination requires that the CNS anticipates the grip forces that match the requirements imposed by the self-generated load forces. He...

Involvement Load Hypothesis (ILH) and Technique Feature Analysis (TFA) are two frameworks which operationalize depth of processing of a vocabulary learning task. However, there is dearth of research comparing the predictive power of the ILH and the TFA across second language (L2) vocabulary learning tasks. The present study, therefore, aimed to examine this issue across four vocabulary learning...

abstract background: musculoskeletal disorders (msds) are a serious problem among the nursing staff. mental workload is the major cause of msds among nursing staff. the aim of this study was to investigate the mental workload dimensions and their association with msds among nurses of alzahra hospital, affi liated to isfahan university of medical sciences. materials and methods: this descriptive...

The dependency of word processing on spare attentional resources has been debated for several decades. Recent research in the study of selective attention has emphasized the role of task load in determining the fate of ignored information. In parallel to behavioral evidence, neuroimaging data show that the activation generated by unattended stimuli is eliminated in task-relevant brain regions d...

The development process involved developers contribution based his/her cognitive thinking in the real time process. The developer’s performance is dynamic as per their cognitive load. The cognitive load is un-deterministic as well hidden and integrated in the developer’s process. This paper attempt to identify software developer cognitive measure which influences the development process using n...

The neural mechanism underlying preparation for tasks that vary in difficulty has not been explored. This functional magnetic resonance imaging study manipulated task difficulty by varying the working memory (WM) load of the n-back task. Each n-back task block was preceded by a preparation period involving a screen that indicated the level of difficulty of the upcoming task. Consistent with pre...
