Although robust age effects on human navigation have been demonstrated, age differences in cue-use is poorly understood. In this study, older and younger adults completed a virtual environment (VE) navigation task. The environment contained cues divided into 2 categories. ’Critical cues’ (CC) were located at decision points, while ’non-critical cues’ (NCC) were located at non-decision points. F...

Understanding the neural mechanism underlying subjective representation has become a central endeavor in cognitive-neuroscience. In theories of conscious perception, stimulus gaining conscious access is usually considered as a discrete neuronal event to be characterized in time or space, sometimes refer to as a 'conscious episode'. Surprisingly, the alternative hypothesis according to which con...

Prediction Error [PE] is a core component of some of the most influential theories of how animals use experiences to update their knowledge (e.g, Rescorla & Wagner, 1972). The classic demonstration of PE is the single-cell recording done by Schultz and colleagues (1997). However, there is no evidence that this signal plays any role in learning. Only two studies have related a neural correlate o...

In this paper, we present ParaEval, an automatic evaluation framework that uses paraphrases to improve the quality of machine translation evaluations. Previous work has focused on fixed n-gram evaluation metrics coupled with lexical identity matching. ParaEval addresses three important issues: support for paraphrase/synonym matching, recall measurement, and correlation with human judgments. We ...

We give a systolic algorithm and array for bidiagonalization of an n x n matrix in O(nlog, n) time, using O(n2) cells. Bandedness of the input matrix may be effectively exploited. If the matrix is banded, with p nonzero subdiagonals and q nonzero superdiagonais, then 4n In(p + q) + O(n) clocks and 2n(p + q ) + O((p + q)’ + n) cells are needed. This is faster than the best previously reported re...

Regeneration is deemed as the enabler for societies and nations to transform them from industrial age to knowledge. In this regard, knowledge intensive regeneration is one of the latest models, called as New Century Cities (NCC) to make progress and ultimately achieve the transformation towards knowledge societies, which have the features and characteristics of sustainable communities. However,...

objective: there are disparities in mental health services (mhs) utilization within and between populations and several factors are studied as its potential correlates. identifying those correlates would help health policy makers to adjust service provision with characteristics of their community. to evaluate demographic, socioeconomic and system correlates of mhs utilization among married wome...
