In emerging fifth generation and beyond wireless communication systems, nodes are expected to support information flows that freshness-sensitive, along with broadband traffic having high data rate requirements. Freshness-sensitive flows, where freshness is quantified by a metric called the age of (AoI), naturally assigned priority over resources. Motivated this, we consider long-term average th...

OBJECTIVE Leptin is a pleiotropic hormone associated with learning and memory via brain receptors. However, elevated plasma leptin levels may impair cognitive and memory functions. Since individual differences in memory performance affect students' ability to learn, we aimed to study the relation between leptin status in adolescence and school performance. DESIGN AND SETTING We studied 568 ad...

UNLABELLED Two types of serial word recall tasks (full verbal recall and probed recall) were administered to 11 children with language impairment and 22 language-normal children matched for productive language or chronological age. The methods were designed to take into account age-related differences in the use of subvocal rehearsal, as measured by the word length effect. The word length effec...
