Studies rarely assess treatment effects across tasks; the present experiments addressed this issue. In Experiments 1 and 2, rats (n=12) were trained and then tested with variable delays on a spatial match-to-position task sequentially in the water and radial mazes (in counterbalanced order). Experiment 1 compared the effect of 0-, 60- and 1440-min delays on performance in both mazes. Rats requi...

This paper presents the study results of non-linear channel equalisation problems in data communications using a recently developed minimal radial basis function neural network structure, referred to as MRAN(Minimal Resource Allocation Network). MRAN algorithm uses on-line learning and has the capability to grow and prune the RBF network’s hidden neurons ensuring a parsimonious network structur...

increasing demand for food production in the recent years has raised the usage of granular fertilizers. consequently, the growing use of fertilizers has reduced the quality and quantity of crop production. in addition pollution problems such as soil and water (surface and subterranean water) contaminations has increased. consistent spreading of fertilizers in the farmlands is of fundamental rul...

To determine the effects of the recessive retinal degeneration (rd) gene on behavioral performance, three Alzheimer's transgenic lines (APPsw, P301L, APPsw + P301L) and non-transgenic littermates were evaluated in a comprehensive behavioral battery between 5 and 8.5 months of age. For all four genotypes collectively, rd homozygosity resulted in profound impairment in spatial cognitive tasks req...

Industry is a major contributor to carbon emissions in China, and industrial land is an important input to industrial production. Therefore, a detailed analysis of the carbon emission performance of industrial land use is necessary for making reasonable carbon reduction policies that promote the sustainable use of industrial land. This paper aims to analyze the dynamic changes in the total-fact...

Few inverse data envelopment analysis (DEA) models have incorporated non-discretionary measures based on radial efficiency values. However, the may be miscounted in approaches when some non-zero slacks appear. Furthermore, there is scant research DEA to estimate performance restaurant industry. Accordingly, this proposes non-radial analyze and output changes of Iranian restaurants while also pr...
