The visual environment contains massive amounts of information involving the relations between objects in space and time, and recent studies of visual statistical learning (VSL) have suggested that this information can be automatically extracted by the visual system. The experiments reported in this article explore the automaticity of VSL in several ways, using both explicit familiarity and imp...

هدف: سطوح بالای همیاری در جوامعی شکل می­ گیرد که آن افرادی از هنجارهای خاصی تخطی کنند، با رفتار تنبیهی دیگران مواجه شوند. هدف مطالعه حاضر تفکیک انواع واکنش افراد به پیشهادهای ناعادلانه و بررسی مولفه­ های الکتروفیزیولوژیک آنان بود. روش: 40 نفر جنسیت مذکر دانشجویان دانشگاه شهید بهشتی طریق نمونه گیری دسترس این شرکت کردند آنها اصلاح­ شده بازی ­های دیکتاتور اولتیماتوم مورد سنجش ارزیابی قرار گرفت. یا...

به دنبال شیوع ویروس کرونا در جهان، بسیاری از تعاملات رسمی آموزشی سمت برگزاری بستر محیط مجازی سوق یافت و ادامة فرایند آموزش معماری نیز همانند همة دوره‌های آموزشی، دلیل تعطیلی دانشگاه‌ها، تنها برخط ممکن گشت. این میان کارگاه‌های طراحی معماری، منزلة کانون ویژگی‌های منحصربه‌فردی دارند که را سایر رشته‌های دانشگاهی جدا کرده است. نمونة بارزی یک مشارکتی، چندحسی، تجربه‌گرای مبتنی بر مسئله همین ویژگی‌ها م...

BACKGROUND & AIMS The probiotic compound, VSL#3, is efficacious as maintenance therapy in pouchitis and ulcerative colitis. The aim of this study was to determine the efficacy of VSL#3 as a primary therapy in the treatment of colitis in the interleukin (IL)-10 gene-deficient mouse. Mechanisms of action of VSL#3 were investigated in T(84) monolayers. METHODS IL-10 gene-deficient and control mi...

Studies assessing the effect and mechanism of probiotics on diseases of the upper gastrointestinal tract (GI) including gastric ulcers are limited despite extensive work and promising results of this therapeutic option for other GI diseases. In this study, we investigated the mechanisms by which the probiotic mixture VSL#3 (a mixture of eight probiotic bacteria including Lactobacilli, Bifidobac...

Variable-Speed-of-Light (VSL) cosmologies are currently attracting much interest as a possible alternative to cosmological inflation. We discuss the fundamental geometrodynamic aspects of VSL cosmologies, and provide several alternative implementations. These implementations provide a large class of VSL cosmologies that pass the zeroth-order consistency tests of being compatible with both class...

Each government agency uses a uniform figure to measure the value of a statistical life (VSL). This is a serious mistake. The very theory that underlies current practice calls for far more individuation of the relevant values. According to that theory, VSL should vary across risks. More controversially, VSL should vary across individuals -- even or especially if the result would be to produce a...

VSL#3, a mixture of 8 different probiotic bacteria, has successfully been used in the clinic to treat Ulcerative Colitis. We previously identified the modulation of chemokines as a major mechanism in the protective effect of the VSL#3 in a mouse model of colitis. This was supported by in vitro studies that implicated a role for VSL#3 in the suppression of LPS-induced chemokine production by mou...

Background: In addition to strain taxonomy, the ability of probiotics to confer beneficial effects on the host rely on a number of additional factors including epigenetic modulation of bacterial genes leading to metabolic variability and might impact on probiotic functionality. Aims: To investigate metabolism and functionality of two different batches of a probiotic blend commercialized under t...
