Binge Drinkers Are Fast, Able to Stop – but They Fail to Adjust

Binge Drinkers Are Fast, Able to Stop - but They Fail to Adjust.

Binge drinking leads to brain damage. However, at present few studies have taken into account the continuity in the binge drinking phenomenon, and treated binge drinking as a clearly separable category from other types of drinking patterns. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether severity of binge drinking can predict specific neurocognitive changes in healthy young adults. A to...

How Fail-Stop are Faulty Programs?

Most fault-tolerant systems are designed to stop faulty programs before they write permanent data or communicate with other processes. This property (halt-on-failure) forms the core of the fail-stop model. Unfortunately, little experimental data exists on whether or not program failures follow the fail-stop model. This paper describes a tool, based on the SimOS complete-machine simulator, that ...

Are ICD recipients able to foresee if they want to withdraw therapy or deactivate defibrillator shocks?☆

Background Expert consensus statements on management of implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) emphasize the importance of having discussions about deactivation before and after implantation. These statements were developed with limited patient input. The purpose of this study was to identify the factors associated with patients' experiences of end-of-life discussions, attitudes towards...

Are Autonomous Mobile Robots Able to Take Over Construction? A Review

Although construction has been known as a highly complex application field for autonomous robotic systems, recent advances in this field offer great hope for using robotic capabilities to develop automated construction. Today, space research agencies seek to build infrastructures without human intervention, and construction companies look to robots with the potential to improve construction qua...
