Brain activation associated with dimensional shifts of attention was measured in 14 children and 13 adults using 4 T fMRI. Across all participants, dimensional shifting was associated with activity in a distributed frontoparietal network, including superior parietal cortex, dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, inferior frontal junction, and the pre-supplementary motor region. There were also age-rel...

The behavioral responses of zebrafish (Danio rerio) to sublethal concentrations of sodium hypochlorite (NaClO)-based household bleach were quantified in order to index toxicity of the solution. The swimming behavior of zebrafish was captured using nonplanar 3D stereocameras in combination with 3D coordinate computation with perspective correction (3DCCPC) to compute for actual 3D coordinates. S...

A comprehensive review of the literature on manoeuvring target tracking for both uncluttered and cluttered measurements is presented. Various discrete-time dynamical models including nonrandom input, random-input and switching or hybrid system manoeuvre models are presented. The problem of manoeuvre detection is covered. Classical and current filtering methods for manoeuvre tracking are present...

Multi-component interventions for conduct disorder target several contexts of a child’s life (e.g., both home and school environments) and are generally more effective than single-component behavioral interventions. Whether the multi-component approach is cost-effective remains an unanswered question. This article analyzes two decades of data from the Incredible Years (IY) Series to examine the...

The paper describes a multi-resolution algorithm based on fractal geometry for texture analysis and detection of oil spills in SAR images. The multi-resolution approach reduces the problems of speckle and sea clutter and preserves subtle variations of oil slicks. The use of fractal dimension as a feature for classification improves the oil spill detection, since enhances texture discrimination....

In this paper, Genetic Algorithm(GA)is applied to Course Scheduling, designed to arrange and optimize the Timetable in Adult Education. Designed an automatic curriculum scheduling system based on this multi-dimension coding scheme. Finally, real course data is used to test this multi-dimension coding scheme and the result is satisfying in the way of the time complexity and curriculum scheduling...
