BACKGROUND Impaired spatial working memory (SWM) is a robust feature of schizophrenia and has been linked to the risk of developing psychosis in people with an at-risk mental state (ARMS). We used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to examine the neural substrate of SWM in the ARMS and in patients who had just developed schizophrenia. METHOD fMRI was used to study 17 patients with a...

Abstract. The tropical Northwest Pacific (TNWP) is a receptor for pollution sources throughout Asia and highly susceptible to climate change, making it imperative understand long-range transport in this complex aerosol-meteorological environment. Measurements from the NASA Cloud, Aerosol, Monsoon Processes Philippines Experiment (CAMP2Ex; 24 August 5 October 2019) back trajectories National Oce...

With the help of rapid development information technologies, local governments in China have explored many new systems promoting public participation water governance aim to improve quality and protection. One well-known that been developed is called The Smart Water Management (SWM). Before finding out whether this system can boost how effective is, it needs figure what key variables play impor...

INDIA IS FACING serious environmental problems such as waste1 ,water and air pollution due to the fast growth of urbanisation and industrialisation. The subject of solid waste management (SWM) in Hyderabad (India) represents one of particular interest for this 23rd WEDC conference on ‘partnership and innovation’. This paper will represent a unique scheme which is based on a combination of partn...

Solid waste management (SWM) is a critical problem for developing countries such as India. It is estimated that India’s current population of 1,200 million will continue to grow at the rate of 3-3.5% per annum. With the per capita waste generation increasing by 1.3% per annum, the yearly increase in waste generation is around 5 % annually. The government is under constant pressure to efficientl...

The indirect catecholamine agonist methylphenidate (Ritalin) is the drug treatment of choice in attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (AD/HD), one of the most common behavioral disorders of childhood (DSM-IV), although symptoms may persist into adulthood. Methylphenidate can enhance cognitive performance in adults and children diagnosed with AD/HD (Kempton et al., 1999; Riordan et al., 1999)...

BACKGROUND DPN is an important complication and contributes to the morbidity of diabetes mellitus. Evidence indicates early detection of DPN results in fewer foot ulcers and amputations. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to compare different screening tests in the detection of DPN in primary care setting. METHODOLOGY It is a cross-sectional study in a random sample (N = 242) of type 2...

Graphics processing units (GPU) have potential to speed up deep packet inspection (DPI) by processing many packets in parallel. However, popular methods of DPI such as deterministic finite automata are limited because they are single stride. Alternatively, the complexity of multiple stride methods is not appropriate for the SIMD operation of a GPU. In this work we present SWM, a simplified, mul...
