The development process involved developers contribution based his/her cognitive thinking in the real time process. The developer’s performance is dynamic as per their cognitive load. The cognitive load is un-deterministic as well hidden and integrated in the developer’s process. This paper attempt to identify software developer cognitive measure which influences the development process using n...

Studies on visual cognitive load have reported inconsistent effects of distractor interference when distractors have visual characteristic that are similar to the cognitive load. Some studies have shown that the cognitive load enhances distractor interference, while others reported an attenuating effect. We attribute these inconsistencies to the amount of cognitive load that a person is require...

OBJECTIVE To explore functional corticocortical connections in multiple sclerosis by means of coherence of the EEG, and to evaluate their correlations with the degree of cognitive impairment and with brain lesion load assessed by MRI. METHODS EEG coherence was studied from 28 patients with clinically definite multiple sclerosis. Ten minutes of resting EEG were recorded with 20 scalp electrode...

Patients with generalized myasthenia gravis (MG) often have associated ventilatory muscle involvement. It is not known whether patients with isolated ocular muscle involvement have identifiable involvement of their ventilatory muscles. Most studies have assessed muscle involvement by measuring muscle strength; however, we hypothesized that measures of ventilatory muscle endurance may be more se...

in the current engineering practices, buildings are commonly designed for an effective lifetime of 50 years. this lifetime can increase the cost of buildings with short lifetimes and can reduce the safety level of buildings with large lifetimes. in this paper, a “service-life factor” has been defined. applying this factor into the nominal values of live, earthquake, wind, and snow loads, the ef...

An increase in concurrent working memory load has been shown to amplify the attentional blink. The present study investigated the temporal locus of this phenomenon, by using a dual rapid serial visual presentation paradigm that enabled the measurement of lateralized event-related potentials. The P3 component was shown to be affected by both working memory load and the lag between the target sti...
