Human working memory capacity develops during childhood and is a strong predictor of future academic performance, in particular, achievements in mathematics and reading. Predicting working memory development is important for the early identification of children at risk for poor cognitive and academic development. Here we show that structural and functional magnetic resonance imaging data explai...

it is very important to test and evaluate the performance and ability of new-design machinery in comparison with available ones. based on this, a tractor front-mounted rice reaper was compared and evaluated with tiller- mounted and self-propelled reapers. field experiments were conducted to determine forward speed, field capacity, harvesting losses, labor and costs. experiments were conducted b...

Numerous studies have found that working memory capacity and perceptual speed predict variation in fluid intelligence. Within the cognitive ageing literature, perceptual speed accounts for substantial ageing variance in working memory capacity and fluid intelligence. However, within young adults, the interrelationships among these three abilities are less clear. The current work investigated th...

In this paper, we study the problem of determining the capacity requirements for applications that require QoS guarantees. We consider three kinds of source models, Poisson based, On-Off based and leaky bucket filter based, and present explicit expressions capturing the required capacity. We compare the required capacity for average delay for these models with the required capacity for absolute...

In the context of public transportation system, improving the service quality and robustness through minimizing the average passengers waiting time is a real challenge. This study provides robust stochastic programming models for train timetabling problem in urban rail transit systems. The objective is minimization of the weighted summation of the expected cost of passenger waiting time, its va...

Cereal grains are considered by consumers due to effect on health because of their antioxidant capacity, phenolic content and other phytochemicals. For this purpose, an experiment was conducted to evaluate of morphological and nutritional traits on 10 rice genotypes. Analysis of variance showed a significant different among the genotypes for all traits. Onda, Gharib, Fajr and L2 genotypes had t...
