Recourse to a purported ideal of societal homogeneity has become common in the context of the refugee reception crisis – not only in Japan, as Leppold et al report, but also throughout Europe. Calls for societal homogeneity in Europe originate from populist movements as well as from some governments. Often, they go along with reduced social support for refugees and asylum seekers, for example i...

Wireless sensor networks for industrial process monitoring and control require highly reliable and timely data delivery. To match performance requirements specialised schedule based medium access control (MAC) protocols are employed. In order to construct an efficient system it is necessary to find a schedule that can support the given application requirements in terms of data delivery latency ...

At every level of the visual system - from retina to cortex - information is encoded in the activity of large populations of cells. The populations are not uniform, but contain many different types of cells, each with its own sensitivities to visual stimuli. Understanding the roles of the cell types and how they work together to form collective representations has been a long-standing goal. Thi...

Memory can be formed with the integration of large number of basic storing element called cells. SRAM cell is one of the basic storing unit of volatile semiconductor memory that stores binary logic '1' or '0' bit. Modified read and write circuits were proposed in this paper to address incorrect read and write operations in conventional 6T SRAM cell design available in open literature. Design of...

OBJECTIVE We intended to examine how theta-rhythm transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) (versus sham non-active stimulation) modulated associations between working memory accuracy and later retrospective self-evaluation scores. METHODS Healthy participants were required to complete a verbal working memory task while receiving tACS bilaterally over the dorsolateral prefrontal cor...
