By assessing the association strength with TRUE and FALSE, the autobiographical Implicit Association Test (aIAT) [Sartori, G., Agosta, S., Zogmaister, C., Ferrara, S. D., & Castiello, U. (2008). How to accurately detect autobiographical events. Psychological Science, 19, 772-780. doi: 10.1111/j.1467-9280.2008.02156.x ] aims to determine which of two contrasting statements is true.

Sympathy reverses the operation of the understanding, which converts impressions of sensation into ideas. In the case of sympathy, the operation is in the other direction. Sympathy arouse...

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a progressive autoimmune disease with multifactorial etiology involving both environmental and genetic factors (Kemppinen et al, 2011). Due to complex etiology, clinical presentation of MS is also diverse. Conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), including T1 and T2weigthed and fluid attenuated inversion recovery T2 scans form the backbone of imaging MS patients...

Query-based diagnostics (Agosta, Gardos, & Druzdzel, 2008) offers passive, incremental construction of diagnostic models that rest on the interaction between a diagnostician and a computer-based diagnostic system. Effectively, this approach minimizes knowledge engineering, the main bottleneck in practical application of Bayesian networks. While this idea is appealing, it has undergone only limi...

The CeO2 (100) surface, despite its strongly hydrophilic nature, exhibits hydrophobic behaviour when immersed in water. This effect is induced by the first water layer that immediate contact with hydroxylated surface. ordered creates a key-lock H-bond pattern underlying surface hydroxyl groups, hindering interactions liquid hydrophobicity manifested measurable angle and considerable diffusion e...

The O. avara group of Oecetis is formally defined to include 4 described species, O. avara (Banks), O. disjuncta (Banks), O. elata Denning & Sykora, and O. metlacenis Bueno-Soria, and 15 new species. Oecetis marquesi Bueno-Soria, previously considered a member of the O. avara group, is treated as incertae sedis to species group, but is also redescribed and treated in the current work. New speci...

During forensic archaeological research conducted in 2021 the Comacchio Lagoon (FE), we detected new data concerning ancient local hydrography to west of Argine Agosta, an bank, Valle Fossa di Porto. A systematic campaign geophysical surveys for heritage and archaeology was with a hydrographic drone equipped single-beam bathymetric sensor echo sounder, sub-bottom profiler, side-scan sonar. In c...

iran is widely drought prone, considering its semi-arid climate. eleven wheat cultivars differing in yield potential and drought resistance were employed to determine the possible relationship among grain filling rate and duration, stem reserves remobilization and grain yield under either irrigated (ir) or non-irrigated (nir) conditions at gerizeh research station in sanandaj for a duration of ...
