Previous research has shown that the selective remembering of a speaker and the resulting silences can cause forgetting of related, but unmentioned information by a listener (Cuc, Koppel, & Hirst, 2007). Guided by more recent work that demonstrated both detrimental and beneficial effects of selective memory retrieval in individuals, the present research explored the effects of selective remembe...

background: free fetal dna (ffd) in maternal plasma/serum has increasingly become the source of fetal material for diagnostic purposes in recent years. this source of fetal material can be used for sex determination. rh typing paternally inherited sequences and compound heterozygosity. reports on the lack of consistent pcr amplification of y-chromosome sequences of ffd in maternal plasma/serum ...

OBJECTIVE Non-supermarket food retailers can be a promising channel for increasing the availability of healthy foods in underserved communities. The present paper reports on retailer practices, attitudes and beliefs about the supply of healthy foods before and after the introduction of new subsidies for healthy foods by the US Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Child...

In 1993, National Car Rental faced liquidation. General Motors Corporation (National's parent) took a $744 million charge against earnings related to its ownership of National Car Rental Systems. National faced liquidation, with the loss of 7,500 jobs, unless it could show a profit in the short term. National initiated a comprehensive revenue management program whose core is a suite of analytic...

Purpose: Physical condition and posture are related to bio-psychological health. Overweight in the children is also associated with musculoskeletal deformities. The current study aimed to compare the effect of conducting an 8-week of selected football activities and corrective exercises on postural deformities, the factors of physical readiness, and body composition in three male groups, includ...

Physical activity is beneficial for people with dementia, but little research explores subjective experiences of physical activity in this population. Interpretive description guided the analysis of 26 interviews conducted with 12 people with dementia. Three themes described the subjective meaning of everyday physical activity: Participants were attracted to activity because it improved physica...

In the long-term evolution (LTE) system, channel equalization makes compensation to restore the original signal, the paper puts forward iteration sphere decoding algorithm which combines traditional sphere decoding and the improved QR based on the conventional QR decomposition detection algorithm. It can effectively reduce the system complexity. At the same time, in QPSK and 16QAM, the simulati...

As a numerical method for solving ordinary differential equations y′ = f(x, y), the improved Euler method is not assumed to give exact solutions. In this paper we classify all cases where this method gives the exact solution for all initial conditions. We reduce an infinite system of partial differential equations for f(x, y) to a finite system that is sufficient and necessary for the improved ...
