Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is marked by inhibitory and attentional deficits which can persist into adulthood. Those deficits have been associated with dysfunctional fronto-striatal and fronto-parietal circuits. The present study sought to delineate neural correlates of component specific inhibitory deficits in adult ADHD using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). 2...

We obtained behavioral data to evaluate two alternative hypotheses about the neural mechanisms of gaze control. The "fixation" hypothesis states that neurons in rostral superior colliculus (SC) enforce fixation of gaze. The "microsaccade" hypothesis states that neurons in rostral SC encode microsaccades rather than fixation per se. Previously reported neuronal activity in monkey SC during the s...

An offset compensation technique for a latch type sense amplifier is proposed in this paper. The proposed scheme is based on the recalibration of the charging/discharging current of the critical nodes which are affected by the device mismatches. The circuit has been designed in a 65 nm CMOS technology with 1.2 V core transistors. The auto-calibration procedure is fully digital. Simulation resul...

background and aim: speech understanding almost never occurs in silence. verbal communication often occurs in environments where multiple speakers are talking. in such environments, babbling noise masks speech comprehension. consonants, in comparison to vowels, are more sensitive to noise masking. consonants provide most acoustic information needed for comprehending the meaning of the word. sin...

Abstract This article examines briefly the implications of recent repeal Roe v. Wade by U.S. Supreme Court. While these are dire for women’s rights all over country, even in those states where abortion is still legal, may also herald cancelation other recently granted rights, such as same sex marriage. Consequently, it necessary to mount a meaningful resistance prevent developments and find way...

background: noise pollution can contribute to adverse health effects in humans. noise annoyance and related problems, caused by noise emission during the progress of building construction, have become increasingly important. these problems can influence the exposed workers, as well as vicinity residents. the goal of the present study was to assess the noise annoyance due to noise from construct...
