Only a small proportion of the published research on endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDC) directly examined effects on neuroendocrine processes. There is an expanding body of evidence that anthropogenic chemicals exert effects on neuroendocrine systems and that these changes might impact peripheral organ systems and physiological processes. Neuroendocrine disruption extends the concept of endoc...

As CMOS technology scaling pushes towards the reduction of length transistors, electronic circuits face numerous reliability issues, and in particular nodes D-latches at nano-scale confront multiple-node upset errors due to their operation harsh radiative environments. In this manuscript, a new high reliable D-latch which can tolerate quadruple-node upsets is presented. The design based on low-...

Advances an evolution-based model of strategic conflict between men and women. Conflict is predicted to occur whenever the reproductive strategy adopted by one sex interferes with that adopted by the opposite sex. Three empirical studies tested hypotheses based on this model. Study 1 (N = 528) examined sex differences in sources of anger and upset (e.g., about sexual aggressiveness or withholdi...

This work is concerned with the vulnerability of spaceborne microelectronics to single event upset, a change of state caused by high-energy charged particles in the solar wind or the cosmic ray environment striking a sensitive node. To measure the susceptibility of a semiconductor device to single event upsets, testing is conducted by exposing it to highenergy heavy ions or protons produced in ...

The effortless ease of everyday vision seems to contradict numerous findings on the limited capacity of visual attention. However, natural scenes appear to escape the stringent limitations of attention that apply to seemingly far simpler stimuli. This astonishing result will oblige us to rethink the nature of visual attention and its limited capacity.
