The Sternberg Memory Scanning (SMS) task provides a measure of processing speed (PS) and working memory retrieval speed (WMS). In this task, participants are presented with sets of stimuli that vary in size. After a delay, one item is presented, and participants indicate whether or not the item was part of the set. Performance is assessed by speed and accuracy for both the positive (item is par...

We present our research on defining a correct semantics for forward chaining production systems (PS) programs. A correct semantics must ensure that the execution of the program is deterministic and that it will terminate. We define a class of function-free stratified PS programs, and develop a fixpoint semantics and a declarative semantics for these programs. A stratified PS program comprises a...

In this paper, a new notion of sequential compactness is introduced in L-topological spaces, which is called sequentially S∗-compactness. If L = [0, 1], sequential ultra-compactness, sequential N-compactness and sequential strong compactness imply sequential S∗-compactness, and sequential S∗-compactness implies sequential F-compactness. The intersection of a sequentially S∗-compact L-set and a ...

Let $pounds$ be the category of locally compact abelian groups and $A,Cin pounds$. In this paper, we define component extensions of $A$ by $C$ and show that the set of all component extensions of $A$ by $C$ forms a subgroup of $Ext(C,A)$ whenever $A$ is a connected group. We establish conditions under which the component extensions split and determine LCA groups which are component projective. ...

In this article, we further consider the above system. In particular, we give a sufficient condition under which the above system is Kato chaotic for $eta=0$ and a necessary condition for the above system to be Kato chaotic for $eta=0$. Moreover, it is deduced that for $eta=0$, if $Theta$ is P-chaotic then so is this system, where a continuous map $Theta$ from a compact metric space $Z$ to itse...

The bulk built-in current sensor (BBICS) is a cost-effective solution for detection of energetic particle strikes in integrated circuits. With an appropriate number BBICSs distributed across the chip, soft error locations can be identified, and dynamic fault-tolerant mechanisms activated locally to correct errors affected logic. In this work, we introduce pulse stretching BBICS (PS-BBICS) const...
