Using fMRI, we investigated neural substrates for focusing attention in working memory. To explore this focusing effect, two kinds of reading span test (RST), focused and nonfocused, were performed. In the focused RST (F-RST), the target word to be maintained was the focus word in the sentence. In the nonfocused RST (NF-RST), the target word was not the focus word in the sentence. In both RST c...

The present study investigated when emotion modulates working memory from the perspective of neural activation. Using fMRI, we measured brain activity during the encoding and retrieval phases of a reading span test (RST) that used emotional contexts. The emotional RST required participants to read sentences that elicited negative, neural or positive emotional states while they were memorizing t...

This study was set to reveal how second language learners use rhetorical relations in their written narratives in terms of Rhetorical Structure Theory (RST) primarily proposed by Mann & Thompson (1987) and developed by Mann, Matthiessen & Thompson (1992). To this end, sixty written narratives based on the picture story book ‘Frog, where are you?’ were collected from EFL learners and were put to...

PURPOSE The 5-m repeat-sprint test (5-m RST) measures resistance to fatigue after repeated bouts of short-duration, high-intensity activity. This study determined the components of fitness associated with performance in 5-m RSTs. METHODS Speed (10-m and 40-m sprints), strength (bench press), agility, strength endurance (pull-ups and push-ups), and aerobic power (20-m shuttle-run test) were me...

After a preliminary study of 557 sera used as a procedural training exercise, the Reagin screen test (RST) for the macroscopic detection of reagin (as an aid to detecting syphilis) was qualitatively compared to the rapid plasma Reagin (RPR) (circle) card test and Veneral Disease Research Laboratory (VDRL) slide test on 435 random portions of sera using fluorescent treponemal antibody adsorption...

For developing a reliable data-driven Reynold stress tensor (RST) model, successful reconstruction of the mean velocity field based on high-fidelity information (i.e., direct numerical simulations or large-eddy simulations) is crucial and challenging, considering ill-conditioning problem Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) equations. It shown that frozen treatment Reynolds force vector (RFV)...

Abstract This study presents the effect of four different turbulent models solver on aerodynamic analysis a shroud at wind speed below 6 m/s. The converting uses combination cylindrical case and an inverted circular wing base which captures from 360° direction. CFD used are: SST (Menter) k-ω model, Reynolds Stress Transport (RST) Improved Delay Detached Eddies Simulation model (IDDES) Large Wal...
