Computer simulations of a neural network model of I-D and 2-D brightness phenomena are presented. The simulations indicate how configural image properties trigger interactions among spatially organized contrastive, boundary segmentation, and filling-in processes to generate emergent percepts. They provide the fIrst unified mechanistic explanation of this set of phenomena, a number of which have...

Cells constantly adapt to various environmental changes and stresses. The way in which nutrient and stress levels in a cell feed back to control metabolism and growth are, unsurprisingly, extremely complex, as responding with great sensitivity and speed to the 'feast or famine, slack or stress' status of its environment is a central goal for any organism. The highly conserved target of rapamyci...

Target of rapamycin complex 1 (TORC1) is an important regulator of neuronal function. However, whereas a modest activation of the TORC1 signaling pathway has been shown to affect synaptic plasticity, learning and memory, the effect of TORC1 hypo-activation is less clear. This knowledge is particularly important since TORC1 inhibitors may hold great promise for treating a variety of disorders, i...

The Stiffness modulus is one of the necessary inputs in mechanistic-empirical pavement design and Quality Assurance/Quality Control (Q Q A C ) of pavement layers construction. The use of Portable Falling Weight Deflectometer (PFWD) for measuring the stiffness modulus of unbound pavement layers is increasing worldwide. The modulus can also be...

Present paper deals with the development of a Mechanistic-Empirical model strain-based design perpetual road pavement using Odemark's principle. The bituminous which can withstand minimum traffic 300 msa has been classified as in this paper. considered three-layered system top layer mix followed by unbound granular materials rest on soil subgrade. constituent thickness determined limiting radia...

Explanations have become increasingly recognized as central to learning and intelligence. To explore the content and construction of human explanations, detailed protocol analyses were performed on the explanations that subjects produced while learning about a fictional system. During the system learning phase of the experiment, subjects received a series of diagrams for a system and then expla...
