There is conflicting evidence as to whether awareness is required for conditioning of the skin conductance response (SCR). Recently, Schultz and Helmstetter (2010) reported SCR conditioning in contingency unaware participants by using difficult to discriminate stimuli. These findings are in stark contrast with other observations in human fear conditioning research, showing that SCR predominantl...

We analyzed skin conductance response (SCR) as a psychophysiological index to evaluate affective aspects of consumer preferences for cosmetic products. To examine the test-retest reliability of association between preferences and SCR, we asked 33 female volunteers to complete two experimental sessions approximately 1 year apart. The participants indicated their preferences in a typical paired c...

Formulated in the late 1970s to specify the requirements of the Operational Flight Program (OFP) of the A-7 aircraft [8], the SCR (Software Cost Reduction) requirements method is a method based on tables for specifying the requirements of software systems. During the 1980s and the early 1990s, many companies, including Bell Laboratories, Grumman, Ontario Hydro, and Lockheed, applied the SCR req...

This paper introduces an algorithm and a new graph, the Conditioned Transition Graph (CTG), to derive the mode invariants from an Software Cost Reduction (SCR) mode transition table. An SCR requirements document contains a complete description of the external behavior of the software system. Some system properties, such as mode invariants, can be used to describe safety features that must be en...

INTRODUCTION Small increases in mean serum creatinine (SCr) were observed in studies of rheumatoid arthritis patients during tofacitinib treatment. These SCr changes were investigated and potential mechanisms explored. METHODS SCr values and renal adverse event data were pooled from five Phase 3 and two long-term extension (LTE) studies. Dose-response relationships and association with inflam...

Selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technology increasingly is being applied for controlling emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) from coal-fired boilers. Some recent field and pilot studies suggest that the operation of SCR could affect the chemical form of mercury (Hg) in coal combustion flue gases. The speciation of Hg is an important factor influencing the control and environmental fate of Hg...

Renal failure in cirrhosis has been arbitrarily defined as an increase in serum creatinine (SCr) over 1.5 mg/dL which corresponds to a glomerular filtration rate (GFR) of approximately 30 mL/min.1-3 This definition (conventional criteria), proposed in 1996 by the International Ascites Club for has been widely accepted one among the hepatology community.3 Although hepatologists have accepted thi...

SCR (Software Cost Reduction) speciications are useful for specifying event-driven systems. To use SCR eeectively for critical applications, automated veriication of safety properties is important. Towards this end, Atlee and others proposed model checking and symbolic model checking approaches. The fact that these approaches are sometimes problematic motivates our alternative approach based on...

BACKGROUND Abnormalities in intracellular calcium (Ca) cycling during Ca overload can cause triggered activity because spontaneous calcium release (SCR) activates sufficient Ca-sensitive inward currents to induce delayed afterdepolarizations (DADs). However, little is known about the mechanisms relating SCR and triggered activity on the tissue scale. METHODS AND RESULTS Laser scanning confoca...
