To clarify the cognitive significance of event-related potential (ERP) abnormalities in schizophrenia, we examined the relationships of amplitudes and latencies of ERP components with performance on neuropsychological tests in schizophrenic patients. Twenty patients underwent the Trail Making B Test (TM-B), which is sensitive to frontal lobe dysfunction, and the logical memory, verbal paired-as...

Recently, we have demonstrated that simple block repetition codes enable strong robustness of spread-spectrum (SS) watermarks (WMs) with respect to limited geometric transformations [1]. Although such codes provide an effective prevention mechanism against WM de-synchronization, they also significantly increase the effectiveness of the watermark estimation attack [2]. We show the theory behind ...

Aging and HIV are both risk factors for memory deficits and declines in real-world functioning. However, we know little about the profile of memory deficits driving instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) declines across the lifespan in HIV. This study examined 145 younger (<50 years) and 119 older (≥50 years) adults with HIV who completed the California Verbal Learning Test-Second Editi...

In the Danish CLARIN-DK infrastructure, chaining language technology (LT) tools into a workflow is easy even for a non-expert user, because she only needs to specify the input and the desired output of the workflow. With this information and the registered input and output profiles of the available tools, the CLARIN-DK workflow management system (WMS) computes combinations of tools that will gi...

Standard maize (SMS) and waxy maize starch (WMS) were hydrothermally treated at their residual moisture level (~12 %) by Instantaneous Controlled Pressure Drop process in order to obtain pre-gelatinised starches in a single step. The effect of two parameters of this process, namely the steam pressure level and processing time, on the structural and rheological properties of the native maize sta...

INSPIRE – die Richtlinie 2007/2/EG des Europäischen Parlaments und des Rates vom 14. März 2007 zur Schaffung einer Geodateninfrastruktur in der Europäischen Gemeinschaft – bietet die einzigartige Möglichkeit einen für ganz Europa einheitlichen und standardisierten Zugriff auf Geodaten aufzubauen. Technisch wird dies unter dem Begriff „Network Services“ zusammengefasst, unter den eine Reihe vers...

Abstract. JAXA has developed and implemented earth observation (EO) dashboard jointly with ESA NASA. The development of the dashboard, along "Earth-graphy" website newly "JAXA Earth API" service, demonstrate JAXA's commitment to providing climate change science information users worldwide. EO serves as a platform deliver valuable data related change. WMS/WMTS technology allows visualize interac...

Abstract Understanding how differences in management ‘best practices’ affect organizational outcomes has been a focus of both theoretical and empirical work the fields management, sociology, economics, public policy. The World Management Survey (WMS) project was born almost two decades ago with main goal developing new systematic measure practices being used organizations. WMS contributed to bo...

Chloride binding capacity and its effect on the microstructure of mortar made with marine sand (MS), washed MS (WMS) river (RS) were investigated in this study. The chloride contents, hydration products, micromorphology pore structures mortars analyzed. results showed that there was a diffusion trend for ions from surface fine aggregate to cement hydrated products. During whole curing period, f...
