The influence of cardiorespiratory fitness on the modulation of cognitive control was assessed in preadolescent children separated into higher- and lower-fit groups. Participants completed compatible and incompatible stimulus-response conditions of a modified flanker task, consisting of congruent and incongruent arrays, while ERPs and task performance were concurrently measured. Findings reveal...

INTRODUCTION African Americans have a lower colorectal cancer screening rate than whites and higher disease incidence and mortality. Despite wide acceptance of colonoscopy for accurate screening, increasing promotion of high-sensitivity stool test screening, such as the fecal immunochemical test (FIT), may narrow racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic disparities in screening. This study provides fo...

A parsimonious and compatible system of taper, total, and merchantable volume equations sharing a common vector of three parameter estimates was derived from Clark and Saucier’s (1990) volume ratio model. Clark and Saucier’s model expresses volume inside bark as a function of outside bark diameter and is itself not compatible with the derived taper equation. To ensure compatibility, models were...

Acceptance and compliance with screening and genetic programs for genetic illness depends crucially on the compatibility and fit of their design with the social, cultural and religious concerns and mores of target communities. As a case in point, genetic screening programs that are currently in use within Jewish populations are considered on the background of ethical and religious concerns. Imp...

When choosing between incompatible technologies that are characterized by network effects in business or consumer markets, e.g., software (Microsoft vs. Open Source) or “Walkie-Talkie” phones (Direct Connect vs. Push to Talk), customers must decide between compatibility with others and individual fit. Given differing customer preferences, we study the adoption dynamics and pricing strategies of...

Novelty technology will be capable of increasing the performance company's coconut palm oil, one them being barcode system. So from that, I needed something to study know how influence suitability, continuity and use system against company palm. Study this using a long working variable as moderator variable. The aims analyze effect fit, viability, on business based Barcode System. 237 samples e...

We propose Markov random fields (MRFs) as a probabilistic mathematical model for unifying approaches to multi-robot coordination or, more specifically, distributed action selection. The MRF model is well-suited to domains in which the joint probability over latent (action) and observed (perceived) variables can be factored into pairwise interactions between these variables. Specifically, these ...

We propose Markov random fields (MRFs) as a probabilistic mathematical model for unifying approaches to coordination among multi-robot and cyber-physical systems or, more specifically, distributed action selection. The MRF model is well-suited to domains in which the joint probability over latent (action) and observed (perceived) variables can be factored into pairwise interactions between thes...

Received: 4 January 2008 Revised: 4 January 2008 Accepted: 4 January 2008 Abstract Although knowledge management (KM) has been examined in previous research, the utilization of KM technologies is still not well understood. Hence, in this study, a model was developed to investigate the utilization of KM technologies, specifically, knowledge portals, from the task–technology fit (TTF) perspective...

The Developmental Diagnostic Dimensional Interview-short version (3Di-sv) provides a brief standardized parental interview for diagnosing autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This study explored its validity, and compatibility with DSM-5 ASD. 3Di-sv classifications showed good sensitivity but low specificity when compared to ADOS-2-confirmed clinical diagnosis. Confirmatory factor analyses found a b...
