Comparisons of the performance curve of a classical conditioning group with the curves of control groups provided unequivocal evidence that elicitation of eyelid responses to the conditioned stimulus was acquired by associations formed between the conditioned stimulus and the unconditioned stimulus. The eyelid reflex elicited by stimulation of the cornea is a prompt, stable response which does ...

In 2010 Schernhammer and Gramlich [10] showed that quasi-decreasingness of a DCTRS R is equivalent to μ-termination of its context-sensitive unraveling UCS(R) on original terms. While the direction that quasi-decreasingness ofR implies μ-termination of UCS(R) on original terms is shown directly; the converse – facilitating the use of context-sensitive termination tools like MU-TERM [1] and VMTL...

This paper explores parallel and distributed implementation of the Learning Classifier System (LCS) technology. Specifically, the adaptation of supervised LCS to the grid data mining requisites, using the agent paradigm, is studied. The paper also examines the competitive data mining model induction possibility with homogeneous and heterogeneous data. A distributed framework is proposed using t...

Materials and methods This study aimed to assess utilisation trend of CSMBS patients for certain elective surgeries in both public and private hospitals prior to and after policy implementation, and its impacts on service utilisation of the universal coverage scheme (UCS) members, efficiency of service provision, and burden of expenditure on patients and the scheme. Claim administrative databas...

Cylindrical concrete cores of 10 cm diameter and height were taken from the columns and shear walls of randomly chosen 5-40 years old reinforced concrete (RC) buildings located in different towns of Istanbul and Izmit (Kocaeli) in Turkey from 2000 to date. The ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) measurements and uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) tests were conducted on 200 concrete core specimens...

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of bacterial inoculation on the fermentation and aerobic stability of corn silage and on the dry matter degradability and milk composition when fed to sheep or cows. Four male sheep were selected to measure dry matter degradability of uninoculated (UCS) and inoculated (ICS) corn silage. Milk composition was measured for 22 Holstein cows, separ...

Background: Urachal cysts (UCs) are secondary to incomplete obliteration of the embryonic urachal duct and may become symptomatic when infected. Treatment is primarily surgical to excise the infected cyst. Surgical approaches include a lower midline laparotomy or minimally invasive (MI) techniques. Case: We present a case of a young male with an infected UC that was treated with a single-incisi...

Literature remains scant concerning the benefits of unified communication services (UCS) for the purposes of knowledge exchange in organizations. This study utilized the Grounded Theory approach to systematically analyze 3023 communication logs among 47 employees at a mid-size South Central company. Findings show that UCS knowledge exchange occurs with high frequency, has short duration and is ...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES We argue that the stimuli used in traditional fear conditioning paradigms are too simple to model the learning and unlearning of complex fear memories. We therefore developed and tested an adapted fear conditioning paradigm, specifically designed for the study of complex associative memories. Second, we explored whether manipulating the meaning and complexity of the CS...
