We argue that although the "dual competition" model is useful when considering interactions between emotional and neutral stimuli, it fails to account for the influence of emotional arousal on perceptual or goal-directed behavior involving neutral stimuli. We present the "arousal-biased competition" framework as an alternative that accounts for both scenarios.

Innovative solutions to de-risk investments in energy efficiency projects, which the EU’s goal of being carbon neutral by 2050.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES People who perform a cognitively demanding secondary task while recalling a distressing memory often experience the memory as less emotional, vivid, or accurate during subsequent recollections. In this experiment, we tested whether the emotional valence (positive versus neutral) and sensory modality (visual, auditory, or both) of a secondary task diminishes the emotion...

Please cite this article in press as: A. Wucher e silicon, Nucl. Instr. and Meth. B (2011), doi:10 The incorporation of carbon atoms into a silicon surface under bombardment with 40-keV C60 ions is investigated using time-of-flight mass spectrometry of sputtered neutral and ionized SinCm clusters. The neutral particles emitted from the surface are post-ionized by strong field infrared photoioni...

     In this study, the effect of the secondary structure of the protein on the acid strength of three structures of random (R), alpha helix (α) and beta sheet (b) were investigated theoretically. These structures are related to the cationic amino acids of histidine and lysine in the polypeptide chain of eight-glycine residue. Computational methods at the HF, B3LYP, X3LYP and M05-2X levels in t...

As part of the European Green Deal, Commission recently launched project “New Bauhaus 21st Century” to promote climate-neutral, affordable, and creative design approaches transform built environment towards sustainability. Based on a forecasting backcasting approach, we developed three sets measures containing eighteen individual measures, with overall aim reducing consumption mineral raw mater...
