The objective of this study was to evaluate the utility of the Behavioral Dyscontrol Scale (BDS) as a measure of behavioral regulation in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Two patients groups (n=40 MCI and 40 AD) recruited from a memory clinic and an elderly control (EC) group (n=40) recruited from the community were administered a battery of neuropsychological tests...

From Jensen's two-level theory of mental abilities (Level I: rote learning and memory, involving little or no transformation of the input; Level II: complex cognitive processing involving transformation and mental manipulation of input) it was predicted that forward digit span (FDS) should correlate less with IQ than backward digit span (BDS), and age and race should interact with FDS-BDS, with...

The BDS statistic has proved to be one of several useful nonlinear diagnostics. It has been shown to have good power against many nonlinear alternatives, and its asymptotic properties as a residual diagnostic are well understood. Furthermore, extensive Monte Carlo results have proved it useful in relatively small samples. However, the BDS test is not trivial to calculate, and is even more diffi...

From Jensen's two-level theory of mental abilities (Level I: rote learning and memory; Level II: complex cognitive processing) it was predicted that forward digit span (F1JS) should correlate less with IQ than backward digit span (BDS), and age and race should interact with FDS-BDS, with the FDS-BDS difference decreasing as a junction of age and a greater white-black difference in BDS than in F...

The emerging Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) including the BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS) offer more visible satellites for positioning users. To employ those new satellites in a real-time kinematic (RTK) algorithm to enhance positioning precision and availability, a data processing model for the dual constellation of GPS and BDS is proposed and analyzed. A Kalman filter-ba...

Based on previous research on finger based representation of numbers, we investigated the relation between sequential finger tapping and numeric working memory. Subjects (N=44, all right handed) were given a sequential finger tapping (SFT) test and a forward and backward digit-span (FDS, BDS) test. SFT test measured the participants’ ability to execute simple (following the anatomical order) an...

Despite numerous efforts, the problem of providing per-flow Quality of Service in a scalable manner still remains an active area of research. This paper introduces a scalable architecture for support of per-flow bandwidth guarantees, called the Bandwidth Distribution Scheme (BDS). The BDS maintains aggregate flow information in the network core and distributes this information among boundary no...

I review the current state of knowledge regarding disk accretion in young brown dwarfs (BDs), and the interaction of the disk with the central object. In particular, I discuss (1) observations of accretion/outflow phenomena in BDs; (2) techniques for measuring accretion rates (Ṁacc ); (3) the dependence of Ṁacc on the central mass from stars to brown dwarfs; (4) the temporal evolution of Ṁacc ;...

Abstract The BeiDou global navigation satellite system (BDS-3) constellation deployment has been completed on June 23, 2020, with a full comprising 30 satellites. In this study, we present the performance assessment of single-epoch Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) positioning tightly combined regional (BDS-2) and BDS-3. We first investigate whether code phase Differential Inter-System Biases (DISBs) e...
