Memory is thought to be sparsely encoded throughout multiple brain regions forming unique memory trace. Although evidence has established that the amygdala is a key brain site for memory storage and retrieval of auditory conditioned fear memory, it remains elusive whether the auditory brain regions may be involved in fear memory storage or retrieval. To investigate this possibility, we systemat...

A great deal of experimental investment is directed towards questions regarding the mechanisms of memory storage. Such studies have traditionally been restricted to investigation of the anatomical structures, physiological processes, and molecular pathways necessary for the capacity of memory storage, and have avoided the question of how individual memories are stored in the brain. Memory engra...

This article proposes the introduction of emerging technologies based on semantics, combined with multi-agent systems, information retrieval techniques and reasoning processes, to automate and facilitate the processes of identification, extraction, storage and retrieval of personal graduate information associated with an educational institution, oriented to obtain accreditation. Thereby impleme...

The paper is addressed to those concerned with improving effectiveness of small or large libraries, or those considering the establishment "of a new collection in a certain subject area." The large staffing and cost frequently discourages the setting of satisfactory services. The paper submits for consideration an avenue of using automatic aids to achieve effectiveness within the bounds of econ...

In his well-known Information Dispersal Algorithm paper, Rabin showed a way to distribute information in n pieces among n servers in such a way that recovery of the information is possible in the presence of up to t inactive servers. An enhanced mechanism to enable construction in the presence of malicious faults, which can intentionally modify their pieces of the information, was later present...

Ontologies are often used to improve data access. For this purpose, existing data has to be linked to an ontology and appropriate access mechanisms have to be provided. In this chapter, we review RDF storage and retrieval technologies as a common approach for accessing ontology-based data. We discuss different storage models, typical functionalities of RDF middleware such as data model support ...

As more and more applications in both the commercial and scientific field make routine use of pictorial data, it has become increasingly apparent that the problems involved in organizing image collections for efficient storage and retrieval are far from trivial. Hence interest in research into image content retrieval has grown rapidly over the last few years. The field has provided a rich varie...

In this paper, PANORAMA, an integrated system for digitization, annotation, storage and retrieval of audiovisual data and their associated description is presented. The information model has been heavily influenced by the evolving MPEG-7 standard for description of multimedia content. XML schema has been used for defining the data structures and XML for representation of content – related infor...

Neuroimaging studies of normal subjects and studies of patients with focal lesions implicate regions of parietal cortex in verbal working memory (VWM), yet the precise role of parietal cortex in VWM remains unclear. Some evidence (; ) suggests that the parietal cortex mediates the storage of verbal information, but these studies and most previous ones included encoding and retrieval processes a...
