We measured digit span (DS) in two experiments that used computerized presentation of randomized auditory digits with performance-adapted list length adjustment. A new mean span (MS) metric of DS was developed that showed reduced variance, improved test-retest reliability, and higher correlations with the results of other neuropsychological test results when compared to traditional DS measures....

Let A ⊂ L2(R) be at most countable, and p, q ∈ N. We characterize various frame-properties for Gabor systems of the form G(1, p/q,A)= {e2 g(x − np/q) : m, n ∈ Z, g ∈ A} in terms of the corresponding frame properties for the row vectors in the Zibulski–Zeevi matrix. This extends work by [Ron and Shen, Weyl–Heisenberg systems and Riesz bases in L2(R d). Duke Math. J. 89 (1997) 237–282], who consi...

This study investigates the effect of different link beam lengths in the Reinforced Concrete (RC) frame retrofitted with the Linked Column Frame (LCF) system. It also investigates the ratio of the link beam length (e) to the span length of the RC frame (L) from 0 to 1.5 for the 9 models of the RC frame retrofitted by the LCF system has been investigated. In addition, it studies the formation of...

Several experiments are presented to evaluate the development of visuo-spatial short term memory from childhood to old age (from five-year-olds to about 70-year-olds). Visuospatial short term memory was assessed through transformational imagery tasks. The first set of experiments (chapters 3, 4 and 5) concerned the development of mental rotation abilities. A review of the literature suggested t...

The transportation sector is a great contributor of global carbon emissions, thus technical, regulatory, and behavioural efforts are being made to move towards more sustainable mobility, reducing the sector's environmental impact. Among proposed solutions, car sharing an appealing alternative for both societal reasons. However, society facing another challenge with rapid increase vehicles that ...

In the Second part of The Konus-Wind Catalog Gamma-Ray Bursts with Known Redshifts (first part: Tsvetkova et al. 2017; T17), we present results a systematic study gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) reliable redshift estimates detected simultaneously by (KW) experiment (in waiting mode) and Swift/BAT (BAT) telescope during period from 2005 January to end 2018. By taking advantage high sensitivity BAT wide ...

We briefly review forecasting features of typical data mining software, and we give the salient features of SIMForecaster, the existing forecasting system developed at Singapore Institute of Manufacturing Technology, Singapore. SIMForecaster has successfully been used for many important forecasting problems in industry. Demand forecasting of Short life span products involves unique issues and c...

Johnson and Wood constructed recombinant inbred strains of Caenorhabditis elegans with life spans ranging from 10 to 31 days. Using these strains, we have demonstrated previously that hyperoxia and methyl viologen inhibited development at rates inversely correlated with life span. The growth rates of the short-lived recombinant inbred strains were more profoundly inhibited by oxidative stress t...
