Working memory capacity, our ability to manage incoming information for processing purposes, predicts achievement on a wide range of intellectual abilities. Three randomized experiments (N = 310) tested the effectiveness of a brief psychological intervention designed to boost working memory efficiency (i.e., state working memory capacity) by alleviating concerns about incompetence subtly genera...

Consistent stochastic orders of processing times and objective functions yield optimal policies in many stochastic scheduling problems. When these orders fail to hold, however, finding optimal values may be difficult. In this paper, we show how to bound these values in general situations including problems with unreliable machines and tardiness-based objectives.

A REGIMENTED PROGRAM OF RESISTANCE TRAINING CAN PROVIDE A MULTITUDE OF BENEFITS FOR THE PREGNANT WOMAN. HOWEVER, A WOMAN UNDERGOES SIGNIFICANT PHYSIOLOGICAL AND MORPHOLOGICAL CHANGES THROUGHOUT THE TERM, AND THESE ISSUES NEED TO BE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT WHEN DESIGNING A ROUTINE. THEREFORE, THE PURPOSE OF THIS PAPER WILL BE 3-FOLD: (A) REVIEW THE BENEFITS OF MATERNAL RESISTANCE EXERCISE, (B) DISCUS...

In our daily lives, the advances of new technology can be used to sustain development for people across the globe. Particularly, e-government can be the dynamo of the development for the people. E-government services are intended to be responsive, citizen-centric based and social inclusive. It also engages citizen to participate in the process of delivery of services. Consequently, users can ea...

Railway interlockings are dominated by highly proprietary systems. We present the development project Alister 2.0 – an interlocking system based on industry-proven standard components: Safety PLCs in distributed nodes communicate over safe network protocols. This enables a highly productive and highly maintainable fail-safe interlocking system for centralised traffic control.

Broadcasting concerns transmitting information from a node of a communication network to all other nodes. We consider this problem assuming that links and nodes of the network fail independently with given probabilities p < 1 and q < 1, respectively. For a positive constant ε, broadcasting in an n-node network is said to be ε-safe, if source information is transmitted to all fault-free nodes wi...

introduction : based on the reported studies, approximately 90 percent of workplace accident is due to unsafe behaviors and human errors, even though, in a safe work conditions. so, the most important strategy in reducing the rate of these accident is training workers regarding the safe behaviors. the current study is going to determine the effects of a safety education program on promoting hea...

Metalworking fluids provide an excellent environment for the growth and proliferation of a variety of bacteria and fungi. Historically, the incidence of infectious disease outbreaks at metalworking facilities has been rare. Consequently the primary focus of microbial contamination control efforts has been to prevent fluid biodeterioration. Research conducted over the past decade increasingly su...

This article presents a study of lemmatisation of flexible multiword expressions in Lithuanian. An approach based on syntactic analysis designed for multiword term lemmatisation was adapted for a broader range of MWEs taken from the Dictionary of Lithuanian Nominal Phrases. In the present analysis, the main lemmatisation errors are identified and some improvements are proposed. It shows that au...
