Building on the theoretical framework that intellectual behavior relies on one's ability to process both task-relevant and task-irrelevant information, this study aimed to empirically investigate the association of response inhibition with intelligence in preschool children's development. In a sample of 152 typically developing children aged between 3.6 and 6.6 years, we found evidence that sug...

In this paper, we derive a $T\bar{T}$ deformed soft graviton theorem in the context of celestial holography. As concrete example, it illustrates that two-dimensional irrelevant deformation can be applied to four-dimensional theory at level amplitudes. We argue has close relation loop-correction from amplitude side which could provide an alternative way construct ultraviolet complete quantum gra...

Program verification using Hoare-style techniques requires many logical annotations. We have previously shown that a generic annotation inference algorithm can be used to weave in all annotations required to certify safety properties for automatically generated code. The algorithm is implemented as part of our AUTOCERT system. It uses patterns to capture generatorand property-specific code idio...

The motor system responds to perturbations with reflexes, such as the vestibulo-ocular reflex or stretch reflex, whose gains adapt in response to novel and fixed changes in the environment, such as magnifying spectacles or standing on a tilting platform. Here we demonstrate a reflex response to shifts in the hand's visual location during reaching, which occurs before the onset of voluntary reac...

This study examined the validity and reliability of portfolio assessment using Messick's unified framework of construct validity. Theoretical and empirical evidence was sought for six aspects of construct validity. Seven faculty raters evaluated twenty student portfolios using a primary trait analysis scoring rubric. A significant relationship (r = .81-.95; p < .01) between the seven subscales ...

Inverse probability-weighted marginal structural models with binary exposures are common in epidemiology. Constructing inverse probability weights for a continuous exposure can be complicated by the presence of outliers, and the need to identify a parametric form for the exposure and account for nonconstant exposure variance. We explored the performance of various methods to construct inverse p...

Previous studies suggest in line with dual process models that interoceptive skills affect controlled decisions via automatic or implicit processing. The " framing effect " is considered to capture implicit effects of task-irrelevant emotional stimuli on decision-making. We hypothesized that cardiac awareness, as a measure of interoceptive skills, is positively associated with susceptibility to...

background: it is believed that improved safety culture/climate is a fundamental element to accident prevention. therefore, development a scale to assess safety climate is a step towards accident control. the purpose of this study was to construct a persian safety climate questionnaire. methods: the study took place in tehran and esfahan oil refineries in iran in 2010. an initial questionnaire ...
