The length width trough girder are respectively 6.6 m 5.7 m. It is designed for a narrow-gauge track two walkways. composed prefabricated elements UHPFRC with steel reinforcement bars. Thes...

radar transmitters emit high-power radiofrequency radiation by creation of a high-voltage and high-frequency alternating electrical current.health effects of occupational exposure to military radar were investigated. visual reaction time was recorded with a simple blind computer-assisted-visual reaction time test. to assess the short-term memory, modified wechsler memory scale test was performe...

This study investigates the relationship among working memory (WM), first language (L1), second language (L2), and mathematics; with an aim to understand whether achievement in mathematics and L1 is related to performance in later L2 learning; and if so, whether WM components (i.e. phonological loop and central executive) play a role in this relationship between mathematics and language. A seco...

This paper attempts to evaluate the capacity of immediate memory to cope with new situations in relation to the compressibility of information likely to allow the formation of chunks. We constructed a task in which untrained participants had to immediately recall sequences of stimuli with possible associations between them. Compressibility of information was used to measure the chunkability of ...

Research shows neural efficiency of motor-related activity based on learning and expertise in a specific domain (e.g., guitar playing, sharp-shooting or a sport). However, it is unknown whether neural efficiency of motor-related activity, underlying action planning and maintenance, can be modulated by general cognitive ability alone. This study examined whether working memory span can influence...

High raised buildings are vulnerable to the lateral loads caused during natural calamities like earthquakes and cyclones. Lateral loads always affect the stability of structures. The shear walls, which are provided to resist these lateral forces, are often considered undesirable from utility point of view as they come in the way of vehicular movement in the parking area. Methods to evaluate the...

Remote sensing applications like disaster or mass event monitoring need the acquired data and extracted information within a very short time span. Airborne sensors can acquire the data quickly and on-board processing combined with data downlink is the fastest possibility to achieve this requirement. For this purpose, a new low-cost airborne frame camera system has been developed at the German A...

In this study, a recall experiment and a recognition experiment were designed to assess the human wrist's short-term memory characteristics of tactile perception on vibration intensity, by using a novel homemade vibrotactile display device based on the spatiotemporal combination vibration of multiple micro vibration motors as a test device. Based on the obtained experimental data, the short-ter...
