This research uses a novel integration paradigm to investigate whether target locations read in from long-term memory (LTM) differ from perceptually encoded inputs in spatial working-memory (SWM) with respect to systematic spatial error and/or noise, and whether SWM can simultaneously encompass both of these sources. Our results provide evidence for a composite representation of space in SWM de...

introduction: organic fertilizers are beneficial to maintain and improve structure of the soil nutrients; however, in case of presence of pathogenic microbial agents and pathogens inside them, it will result in health problems and disease transmission. therefore, present study aimed to determine microbial quality of produced vermicomposts in yazd city. methods: this study was a descriptive-anal...

The rodent medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) is critical for spatial working memory (SWM), but the underlying neural processes are incompletely understood. During SWM tasks, neural activity in the mPFC becomes synchronized with theta oscillations in the hippocampus, and the strength of hippocampal-prefrontal synchrony is correlated with behavioral performance. However, to what extent the mPFC gen...

Waste management is the collection, transport or disposal and management of waste materials. Most waste management activities are decided upon and carried out in a public, semi-public area typically involving the waste management organization, one or more regulators and other stakeholders and members of the public. The management of waste is not only the responsibility of governments, but also ...

background: successful waste management programs are linked to internal factors, sw (strength and weakness points), and external factors, ot (opportunities and threats), and at the macro level are grounds for sustainable development. studies may be related to david’s study which presented a method to quantify strength, weakness, opportunity, threats (swot) analysis. methods: in this study, desi...

background and purpose: an appropriate solid waste (sw) disposal has been a major problem in municipal environment. the use of landfills is the most economical and environmentally acceptable method for the disposal of sws all over the world. however, landfill leachate can cause environmental issues such as soil and ground water pollution. so, finding suitable land fill site is one of the most s...

background: waste produced in dental clinics has been the topic of investigations for many years. these waste materials have important health impacts and are hazardous to humans and the environment. objective: to investigating solid waste production and its management in dental clinics in gorgan, northern iran. methods: in this cross-sectional study, 45 of 143 public dental practices and 5 of 2...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Hyperintensity of the subcortical white matter (SWM) of the precentral gyrus and hypointensity of the precentral gyrus gray matter (PGGM) on fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) are described as potentially useful diagnostic findings in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). A detailed study of the prevalence of these findings in various age groups has not been descr...

Rapid urbanization and industrialization, population growth and economic growth in developing countries make management of municipal solid waste more complex comparing with developed countries. Furthermore, the conventional municipal solid waste management approach often is reductionists, not tailored to handle complexity. Therefore, the need to a comprehensive and multi-disciplinary approach r...
