This theoretical paper compares dual-processing theories (DPT) with a constructivist account of the mind (both knowing and learning). This account, termed reflection on activity-effect relationship, provides a single, multistep model of processing situated within three functional systems in the human brain. Using well-known examples from DPT studies, two types of reflection (mental comparisons)...

The discrete polynomial transform (DPT) has been introduced recently as a computationally efficient algorithm for estimating the phase parameters of constant-amplitude polynomial phase signals. In this correspondence, we present a modification of the DPT, which improves the estimation accuracy. We show by a perturbation analysis that the mean-squared error of the estimates is reduced when the o...

A partial wave analysis of the centrally produced KK and ππ systems shows that the fJ(1710) has J = 0. In addition, a study of central meson production as a function of the difference in transverse momentum (dPT ) of the exchanged particles shows that undisputed qq mesons are suppressed at small dPT whereas the glueball candidates are enhanced and that the production cross section for different...

Introduction: Transformations are vital to any engineering subject, in particular, to electrical engineering. Fourier series, Laplace transform, Fourier transform and their counterparts in the discrete-time domain, are the fundamental tools for signal processing, communication and control engineering. Recently, the discrete Pascal transform (DPT) has been introduced to process discrete signals ...

The ignition process of the catalytic partial oxidation of methane has been studied by diffuse reflectance infrared spectroscopy (DRIFTS) over Pt/Al2O3 catalyst in a freshly reduced (DPt = 1.8 nm), oxidized (DPt = 2.1 nm) and aged (DPt = 5.1 nm) state. The ignition temperature is found to change with the catalyst state following the order oxidized > freshly reduced > aged. Whatever the catalyst...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of parenteral insulin therapy on endogenous insulin secretion in the Diabetes Prevention Trial-Type 1 (DPT-1). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS In the parenteral insulin arm of DPT-1, subjects without diabetes at high risk of future type 1 diabetes randomized to active treatment received a yearly 4-day intravenous insulin infusion (IV-I) and daily subcutaneous i...

Deoxypodophyllotoxin (DPT) is a potential anti-tumor candidate prior to its clinical phase. The aim of the study was to develop a physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model consisting of 13 tissue compartments to predict DPT disposition in mouse, rat, monkey, and dog based on in vitro and in silico inputs. Since large interspecies difference was found in unbound fraction of DPT in plasm...

AIM to assess the accuracy and safety of a ready-to-use atopy patch test (HDM-Diallertest, DBV Technologies, Paris) in the diagnosis of sensitization to house-dust mite (HDM) allergens in children with or without atopic dermatitis. PATIENTS AND METHODS prospective analysis of a systematic allergic work-up was carried out in 47 children, age 57.4+42 months (mean + SD, range 7 to 176 mo), prese...

DynaMIT is a simulation-based real-time system designed to estimate the current state of a transportation network, predict future tra c conditions, and provide consistent and unbiased information to travelers. To perform these tasks, e cient simulators have been designed to explicitly capture the interactions between transportation demand and supply. The demand re ects both the OD ow patterns a...
