Mice were trained in an automated visual-discrimination task. When injected with cycloheximide before training, mice showed: (a) some impairment of memory within minutes after the beginning of training, (b) gradual development of total amnesia in less than 3 hr or in more than 6 hr after training, depending on the extent of training, and (c) spontaneous recovery of memory within 3 days after tr...

Virtual models (VR-models) can be used to qualify and train the operating personnel on casting installations. These training methods focus on creating virtual models of casting machines where their composition, function and operation can be tested and on their web based use at distributed production sites. A Virtual Reality Platform for creating training scenarios developed in the Fraunhofer In...

Many accidents occur world-wide in the use of construction plant and equipment, and safety training is considered by many to be one of the best approaches to their prevention. However, current safety training methods/tools are unable to provide trainees with the hands-on practice needed. Game technology-based safety training platforms have the potential to overcome this problem in a virtual env...

Public training in the use of automated external defibrillators to treat out-of-hospital cardiac arrests has been receiving increased attention. The implementation of public access defibrillation programs has been the most significant intervention to improve survival in decades. Dramatic success came when we placed automated external defibrillators in the hands of the public to be utilized with...

To provide effective support for education and training of U-City manpower, it is necessary to analyze its demand and develop the appropriate education course. Development of education courses requires reviewing the cases of other industries, understanding the demands of each educatees, developing the education courses in detail, and making the standard teaching materials. Therefore, this study...

Training neural networks is a timeand compute-intensive operation. This is mainly due to the large amount of floating point tensor operations that are required during training. These constraints limit the scope of design space explorations (in terms of hyperparameter search) for data scientists and researchers. Recent work has explored the possibility of reducing the numerical precision used to...

hypersensitivity reactions to natural rubber latex have increased recently, especially among people with high exposure to latex allergens. hypersensitivity reactions to latex are related to many conditions like occupational asthma. our study was performed to determine the prevalence of hypersensitivity to natural rubber latex and potential food cross reactions in operation room personnel in shi...

Although it is widely accepted that 20%-30% of total HVAC energy in commercial buildings is wasted due to faulty or inefficient operation, there presently exist no widely adopted solutions to identify and remedy this waste. This lack of adoption is due primarily to the high upfront costs associated with the manual process of customizing commissioning solutions for each individual building. In o...

Lean construction is aimed at improving construction performance by eliminating wastes that do not add value to the customer. This project studies lean construction and its application in concrete construction projects at both the operation and project levels. In conjunction with a concrete contractor, actual concrete construction projects were observed, and problem areas contributing to delay ...
