in the current study, we assessed the role of transient receptor potential (trp) channels on avoidance memory and anxiety states in ca3 area of the hippocampus. we explored the anxiety and avoidance memory states using test-retest protocol in the elevated plus maze to understand whether trp channels can affect the above mentioned states in ca3 area. to investigate the consolidation phase of mem...

This paper examines optimal income tax progressivity when avoidance responses to taxation are important, and can be controlled at some cost by the government. A simple example shows that ignoring the fact that avoidance can be controlled that the leak in Okun’s bucket can be fixed can lead to misleading implications about the optimal degree of tax rate progressivity. The paper then generalizes ...

Prior research suggests that repeatedly approaching or avoiding a certain stimulus changes the liking of this stimulus. We investigated whether these effects of approach and avoidance training occur also when participants do not perform these actions but are merely instructed about the stimulus-action contingencies. Stimulus evaluations were registered using both implicit (Implicit Association ...

Prior research suggests that repeatedly approaching or avoiding a stimulus changes the liking of that stimulus. In two experiments, we investigated the relationship between, on one hand, effects of approach-avoidance (AA) training on implicit and explicit evaluations of novel faces and, on the other hand, contingency awareness as indexed by participants' memory for the relation between stimulus...

This paper describes the development of a practical manipulator system. The manipulator requirements dictated by space exploration, the functional elements which meet those require­ ments, and the problems encountered in imple­ menting those requirements are discussed. The paper focuses primarily on the implemen­ tation of the functional elements and the real world problems encountered by the m...

We study vaccine control for disease spread on an adaptive network modeling disease avoidance behavior. Control is implemented by adding Poisson-distributed vaccination of susceptibles. We show that vaccine control is much more effective in adaptive networks than in static networks due to feedback interaction between the adaptive network rewiring and the vaccine application. When compared to ex...

This paper deals with the driving environment perception of cybercars from a vision system. The planification of the trajectory for an Autonomous Guided Vehicle requires to robustly segment the free space around the vehicle to manage an obstacle avoidance task. Opposite to the highways conditions, the urban environment still remains as the most complex environment due to the static scene can no...
