Objective(s): Calcineurin (CN) is a main phosphatase and a critical regulator of cellular pathways for learning, memory, and plasticity. The FK-506 (tacrolimus),a phosphatase inhibitor, is a fungal-derived agent and a common immune suppressant extensively used for tissue transplantation. To further clarify the role of CN in different stages oflearning and memory the main aim of this study was t...

This paper provides an overview of a variety of applications of knowledge-based systems and intelligent agents to modeling and simulation for special operations training. There are a number of ways in which intelligent agents can support training; including modeling special-operations individuals, other members of the blue forces, as well as opponent forces. The paper presents examples of each ...

This paper describes a hidden Markov model (HMM) based speech synthesis system developed for the Blizzard Challenge 2013. In the Blizzard Challenge 2013, audiobooks are provided as training data. In this paper, we focus on a construction of databases for training acoustic models from audiobooks. An automatic alignment technique based on speech recognition is used for obtaining pairs of audio an...

Introduction: The plethora of studies indicated that there is a cross talk relationship between harmaline and serotonergic (5-HT) system on cognitive and non-cognitive behaviors. Thus, the purpose of this study is to assess the effects of hippocampal 5-HT4 receptor on memory acquisition deficit induced by harmaline.  Methods: Harmaline was injected peritoneally, while 5-HT4 receptor ago...
