The present study examined whether the affective priming paradigm in the picture-picture naming task can be used to measure recently acquired food attitudes. Food (dis)likes were induced by an evaluative learning procedure in which real food items were contingently paired with sensory liking or expected consequences information. It was found that the picture-picture naming task is capable of me...

This study investigated the neural processing underlying the cognitive control of emotions induced by the presentation of task-irrelevant emotional pictures before a working memory task. Previous studies have suggested that the cognitive control of emotion involves the prefrontal regions. Therefore, we measured the hemodynamic responses that occurred in the prefrontal region with a 16-channel n...

In this paper we present an image description model that uses picture description language, and Bezier interpolation. We study 3-type images (represented by closed curves that conserve the critical points), giving modelling techniques, and also the coresponding algorithm. Our goal is to obtain a minimal description Πl-word of the smooth curves that aproximate the initial given curves.

This study aimed at investigating the difference of integrated writing task of the TOFEL iBT candidates in comparison with independent writing task on Iranian EFL learners writing performance. The initial population for the study was 50 junior EFL students. To get more homogeneity, participants were selected among those who were studying in the third year of university in EFL major. They were m...

We study the dynamics near a 1 + 1 dimensional intersection of two orthogonal stacks of fivebranes in type IIB string theory, using an open string description valid at weak coupling, and a closed string description valid at strong coupling. The weak coupling description suggests that this system is invariant under eight supercharges with a particular chirality in 1 + 1 dimensions, and its spect...
