We examined whether individual differences in working memory influence the facility with which individuals learn new categories. Participants learned two different types of category structures: rule-based and information-integration. Successful learning of the former category structure is thought to be based on explicit hypothesis testing that relies heavily on working memory. Successful learni...

Research is inconclusive regarding the association between aerobic fitness (objectively measured VO2max) and repeated sprint performance when the sprints are less than 40 meters. Soccer athletes must be able to repeat sprints without significant decreases in speed and strength and conditioning coaches need to better understand if aerobic fitness is related to repeated sprint ability (RSA). Twen...

Symmetry is a ubiquitous feature in the visual environment and can be detected by a variety of species, ranging from insects through to humans [1,2]. Here we show it can also bias estimates of basic scene properties. Mirror (reflective) symmetry can be detected in as little as 50 ms, in both natural and artificial visual scenes, and even when embedded within cluttered backgrounds [1]. In terms ...

S o you have a hot discovery, the paper has been published,and the patent has been filed.You may even have discussed setting up a business venture to exploit this advance with your University’s technology-transfer office.But what are the chances of commercial success? The odds are seemingly stacked against you.Even in biomaterials — a field with a long history in technology transfer — less than...

Peak load reduction is one of the most essential obligations and cost-effective tasks for electrical energy consumers. An isolated microgrid (IMG) system an independent limited capacity power where peak shaving application can perform a vital role in economic operation. This paper presents comparative analysis categorical variable decision tree algorithm (CVDTA) with common technique, namely, g...
