BACKGROUND There is little evidence considering the relationship between movement-specific reinvestment (a dimension of personality which refers to the propensity for individuals to consciously monitor and control their movements) and working memory during motor skill performance. Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) measuring oxyhemoglobin demands in the frontal cortex during performa...

In 1977, Congress passed the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) to encourage federally insured depository institutions to lend in lowto moderate-income neighborhoods and to lowto moderate-income people. Since then, the profitability of the many special lending programs designed to achieve these goals has been questioned on both theoretical and practical grounds. Arguments range from “if the busin...

This policy brief—a product of the SIAP Culture and Community Revitalization Collection, in collaboration with Reinvestment Fund---uses existing research on urban culture and community arts to make a case for culture-based neighborhood revitalization. The brief defines and illustrates "natural" cultural districts, highlights the synergy of social diversity and cultural engagement, and draws les...

This paper considers two issues. Firstly it examines the efficacy of a mechanical trading model freely available from the ‘Turtletrader’ web page on the Internet. The results are tested against the Efficient Market Hypothesis (EMH) Weak-Form as proposed by Fama (1970). The findings show that EMH Weak-Form fails to describe the profits generated by the model when examining CBOT Corn and T-Bond f...

Two experiments examined the roles of the dimensions of movement-specific reinvestment (movement self-consciousness and conscious motor processing) on performance under demanding conditions. In Experiment 1, novice golfers practiced a golf putting task and were tested under low- and high-anxiety conditions. Conscious motor processing was not associated with putting proficiency or movement varia...

This paper introduces a comprehensive process based on inspection for determination of medium voltage (MV) overhead line condition and it was tried that all factors influencing the outage distribution network integrated into one index called index. A failure rate model has been proposed its unknown parameters are calculated historical data. Shortest path problem (SPP) long term scheduling maint...

The unprecedented situation of COVID-19 has created a unique response from village-based projects in rural Bulgaria. My research 2019-2020 followed three that facilitate urban-rural intergenerational connection as form reinvestment. With project planning uncertain and interactions between generations discouraged due to the pandemic, my research, cultural work I am following, took an unexpected ...

Attentional processes governing skilled motor behavior were examined in two studies. In Experiment 1, fi eld hockey players performed a dribbling task under single-task, dual-task, and skill-focused conditions under both low and high pressure situations. In Experiment 2, skilled soccer players performed a dribbling task under single-task, skill-focused, and process-goal conditions, again under ...
