The present study performed a quantitative meta-analysis of functional MRI studies that used a subsequent memory approach. The meta-analysis considered both subsequent memory (SM; remembered>forgotten) and subsequent forgetting (SF; forgotten>remembered) effects, restricting the data used to that concerning visual information encoding in healthy young adults. The meta-analysis of SM effects ind...

Highly Tm(3+) doped optical fibers are urgently desirable for 2.0 μm compact single-frequency fiber laser and high-repetition-rate mode-locked fiber laser. Here, we systematically investigated the optical parameters, energy transfer processes and thermal properties of Tm(3+) doped barium gallo-germanate (BGG) glasses. Highly Tm(3+) doped BGG glass single mode (SM) fibers were fabricated by the ...

This paper provides analytical tools to assess the improvements of existing, modified or entirely new multicast protocols at an early stage of design. In particular, we investigate the general properties of sparse mode (SM) and dense mode (DM) protocols and their variants. Specifically, we quantify the performance of these protocols in a ring topology network using control bandwidth overhead (C...

This paper develops a design methodology of sliding mode ANFIS-Based multi-inputs multi-outputs (MIMO) fuzzy neural network (AMFNN) control for robotic systems. This control system consists of a sliding mode (SM) controller and an AMFNN controller. The SM controller is used to deal with uncertain parts of system dynamics and external disturbances and the AMFNN controller is served as a controll...

We analyze the prospects of the Tevatron for finding a Higgs boson in the two photon decay mode. We conclude that the Standard Model (SM) Higgs boson will likely not be discovered in this mode. However, we motivate several theories beyond the SM, including the MSSM, that predict a Higgs boson with enhanced branching fractions into photons, and calculate the luminosity needed to discover a gener...

This memo describes security threats for the larger (intra-domain or inter-domain) multicast routing infrastructures. Only Protocol Independent Multicast Sparse Mode (PIM-SM) is analyzed, in its three main operational modes: the traditional Any-Source Multicast (ASM) model, the source-specific multicast (SSM) model, and the ASM model enhanced by the Embedded Rendezvous Point (Embedded-RP) group...

Status of This Memo This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the "Internet Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the standardization state and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited. Abstract This document specifies Protocol...

Traditional multicast routing mechanisms (e.g. DVMRP and MOSPF [1, 2]) were intended for use within regions where groups are widely represented or bandwidth is universally plentiful. When group members, and senders to those group members, are distributed sparsely across a wide area, these schemes are not e cient; data packets or membership report information are periodically sent over many link...
