Over four experiments based on the delayed matching-to-sample task, fornix-transected and normal control monkeys were presented with a sequence of five sample stimuli and then received intermixed within-session recency (WSR) and between-session recency (BSR) tests in experiment 1, only BSR tests in experiment 2, only absolute novelty (AN) tests in experiment 3, or only WSR tests in experiment 4...

A general comparison is made between the multinomial processing tree (MPT) approach and a strengthbased approach for modeling recognition memory measurement. Strength models include the signaldetection model and the dual-process model. Existing MPT models for recognition memory and a new generic MPT model, called the Multistate (MS) model, are contrasted with the strength models. Although the R...

We have investigated the effects of thermal annealing on ex-situ chemically vapor deposited submonolayer graphene islands on polycrystalline Cu foil at the atomic-scale using ultrahigh vacuum scanning tunneling microscopy. Low-temperature annealed graphene islands on Cu foil (at ∼430 °C) exhibit predominantly striped Moiré patterns, indicating a relatively weak interaction between graphene and ...

The electron beam from the linear accelerator is of size ~ 2 mm, whereas the size of the electron beam profile required for actual treatment is usually larger than 2 2 cm up to 30 30 cm at the iso-center. Therefore, scattering foils were optimized and simulated using FLUKA code. The primar scattering foil as kept niform thickness y w u , whereas the secondary foil was of Gaussian shape with var...

In knowledge discovery from databases, we emphasize the need for learning from huge, incomplete and imperfect data sets (Piatetsky-Shapiro and Frawley, 1991). To handle noise in the problem domain, existing learning systems avoid overfitting the imperfect training examples by excluding insignificant patterns. The problem is that these systems use a limiting attribute-value language for represen...

After familiarizing himself with the use of CR-39 detectors, about a year ago, the first author asked Steven Jones to send him a TiDx foil, similar to that described at the Tenth International Conference on Cold Fusion (1). It was an attempt detect 3 MeV protons with the CR-39 chips. The idea was to develop an experiment suitable for student-oriented cold fusion projects. That is how the first ...

Optical Transition Radiation (OTR) interferometry has been shown to be a useful diagnostic to measure the divergence of electron beams with energies in the range of 15-100 MeV. A limitation of this method is due to beam scattering in the first foil of the interferometer. To mitigate this undesirable effect we propose to use a perforated first foil in the interferometer. In this case a substanti...

In this paper we present a model for oscillating foil propulsion in which springs are used to transmit forces from the actuators to the foil. The expressions for hydrodynamic force and moment on the foil come from classical, linear, unsteady aerodynamics, and these are coupled to linearized rigid-body mechanics to obtain the complete model for swimming. The model is presented as a low-order set...
