Using fMRI, neural substrates of the executive system were investigated with respect to differences in working memory capacity. To explore the executive control processes, reading span test (RST) and read conditions were performed. Two subject groups were selected: those with large working memory capacities, labeled high-span subjects (HSS) according to the reading span test, and those with sma...

Lambda-inflation is tested against CMB and LSS observational data. The constraints for inflationary parameters are considered.

ion, and thus more compact specification. It also directly provides support for VLIW compilers in terms of clear description of instruction level parallelism. MAD and Expression are similar in their goals of providing support for simulators and compilers for VLIW processors. However, MAD has less redundancy in the description and thus fewer issues of consistency in description. 6.3 Liberty Simu...

The effect on meat quality of a low stress handling system (LSS) compared with a traditional handling system (TS) was investigated in Duroc×(Landrace×Yorkshire; n=117) and (Hampshire×Duroc)×(Landrace×Yorkshire) pigs (n=110) under commercial conditions. In the low-stress handling system the pigs were kept in groups of 15 during lairage and movement up to the stunner. Before the stunner the group...
