Although there is evidence for age-related changes in both cognition and motor control, very little is known about the effect of age on learning of new motor skills. The present experiment addressed the interaction between aging and the role of knowledge of results (KR) on a motor learning task. Using a three-segment task on which each segment had specific timing goals, three different manipula...

Introduction: Because of its spin I = 9/2, the noble gas isotope Kr possesses a nuclear electric quadrupole moment that is a source for rapid relaxation. However, its surprisingly long gas-phase T1 times of up to several hundred seconds at ambient pressure allow for Kr hyperpolarization that is 3-4 orders of magnitude above the equilibrium polarization at 9.4 T field strength [1,2]. The quadrup...

BACKGROUND The Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test (AUDIT) has been widely used to identify alcohol use disorder (AUD). This study evaluated the validity of the AUDIT-Korean revised version (AUDIT-KR) for screening AUD according to Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fifth edition (DSM-5) criteria. METHODS This research was conducted with 443 subjects who visited the C...

Aquaporins (AQPs) have a broad range of cellular and organ functions; however, nontoxic inhibitors of AQP water transport are not available. Here, we applied chromophore-assisted light inactivation (CALI) to inhibit the water permeability of AQP1, and of two AQP4 isoforms (M1 and M23), one of which (M23) forms aggregates at the cell plasma membrane. Chimeras containing Killer Red (KR) and AQPs ...

Chen, Lih, and Wu conjectured that for r≥3, the only connected graphs with maximum degree at most r that are not equitably r-colorable are Kr,r (for odd r) and Kr+1. If true, this would be a strengthening of the Hajnal–Szemerédi Theorem and Brooks’ Theorem. We extend their conjecture to disconnected graphs. For r≥6 the conjecture says the following: If an r-colorable graph G with maximum degree...

We report angle-resolved measurements on photoelectrons emitted upon near-threshold two-photon double ionization (TPDI) of Kr irradiated by free-electron laser (FEL) pulses. These photoelectron angular distributions (PADs) are compared with the results semirelativistic $R$-matrix calculations. As reported Augustin et al. [Phys. Rev. A 98, 033408 (2018)], it is found that presence autoionizing r...

Experimental and theoretical studies of HXeI and HXeH molecules in Ar, Kr, and Xe matrices are presented. HXeI exhibits the H-Xe stretching bands at 1238.0 and 1239.0 cm(-1) in Ar and Kr matrices, respectively, that are blue-shifted from the HXeI band observed in a Xe matrix (1193 cm(-1)) by 45 and 46 cm(-1). These shifts are larger than those observed previously for HXeCl (27 and 16 cm(-1)) an...

A graph G is uniquely Kr-saturated if it contains no clique with r vertices and if for all edges e in the complement, G + e has a unique clique with r vertices. Previously, few examples of uniquely Kr-saturated graphs were known, and little was known about their properties. We search for these graphs by adapting orbital branching, a technique originally developed for symmetric integer linear pr...

In recent years, the subarea of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (KR) has become more and more of a discipline unto itself, focusing on artificial problems while other areas of AI have tended to develop their own representations and algorithms. There are signs that this is changing, however. This talk will explore what the current state of KR has to offer to AI. On the face of it, it woul...

The present study was designed to investigate the nature of motor information processing in the intertrial intervals of a discrete motor task. In Experiment 1, the subjects were given the task of grasping the dynamometer with an intensity yielding a value as close as possible to the target value (40% of the subject's maximum grasping power). The exercise session consisted of 5 trials without Kn...
