BACKGROUND Several studies have examined the mismatch negativity (MMN) evoked potential as a measure of a brain inhibitory deficit in alcoholics or those at risk for alcoholism. This study examined MMN in actively drinking treatment-naive alcohol-dependent individuals. This study examined the association of MMN with risk factors for alcoholism, postalcohol withdrawal hyperexcitability, and alco...

OBJECTIVES Studies of mania risk have increasingly relied on measures of subsyndromal tendencies to experience manic symptoms. The measures of mania risk employed in those studies have been shown to predict manic onset, to show familial associations, and to demonstrate expected correlations with psychosocial variables related to bipolar disorder. However, little work has been conducted to valid...

As the popularity of wireless networks increases, so does the need to protect them. In recent years, many researchers have studied the limitations of the security mechanisms that protect wireless networks. There has also been much research in the power consumption introduced by the network card. Technologies such as CPU and memory are increasing and so is their need for power, but battery techn...

As students return to in-person instruction in the 2021–2022 school year, local education agencies (LEAs) must develop resource allocation strategies support schools need. Federal programs have provided resources restart and recovery. However, there is little consensus on how LEAs can target those most This study investigates relationship between three need indicators (i.e., pre-COVID student p...

vulnerability and contamination risk assessment is of great importance in karst aquifer management. because of vastness of karst in zagros, natural conditions and human activity within the region of aquifer, pollution emission has become one of the most important challenges in front of zagros aquifers. the purpose of this study is to assess marab aquifer vulnerability, using riske model and, de...

according to non-existence of accurate inspection tools on various steps of design and construction of buildings in the past, also due to any change in function of some structures and finally of seismic activities of residential regions of the country, vulnerability assessment of existing structures is necessary. evaluation of vulnerability of the structures is classified in two categories, qua...

if we think of the graph as modeling a network, the vulnerability measure the resistance of the network to disruption of operation after the failure of certain stations or communication links. many graph theoretical parameters have been used to describe the vulnerability of communication networks, including connectivity, integrity, toughness, binding number and tenacity.in this paper we discuss...
