Net Diagnosis Using Stuck-at and Transition Fault Models
(2011-11-02)
As deep sub-micron technologies are widely adopted in modern VLSI design and fabrication process, the shrinking size and increasing complexity of digital circuits make it more difficult to maintain a high yield. Diagnosis ...
Net Exchanges of carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide between Terrestrial Ecosystems and the Atmosphere in Tropical Asia during 1901–2010
(2015-07-22)
Terrestrial ecosystems act as important sources of the greenhouse gases (GHGs) such as carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O), which cause climate warming. Therefore, understanding and quantification ...
A network analysis of two conceptual approaches to the etiology of PTSD
(2020-05-12)
Two prominent conceptual models of PTSD are the cognitive model, used in the development of cognitive processing therapy (CPT; Resick & Schnicke, 1992), and the functional contextualist model, underlying acceptance and ...
Neural Correlates of Abstract Rule use within the Rostro-Caudal Axis of the Frontal Lobes
(2015-05-05)
This paper presents 2 experiments aimed to address key limitations in the understanding
of how abstract rules (i.e., matching, non-matching) are subserved by regions of the prefrontal
cortex (PFC) and frontal lobes of ...
Neural correlates of emotions in dogs
(2018-04-24)
Dogs are considered to be man’s best friend; they share a close and intense relationship with humans and have shown to excel in reading human social cues, including facial cues. Due to this intimate relationship shared ...
Neural Enhancement for Multiobjective Optimization
(2008-05-15)
In this work, a neural network approach is applied to multiobjective optimization problems in order to expand the set of optimal solutions. The network is trained using results obtained from existing evolutionary multiobjective ...
Neural Network Based Gesture Recognition Robot
(2017-11-30)
Autonomous mobile robots (ARM’s) are defined by their ability to perform some tasks independently from direct human interaction. However, interaction with humans at some point is necessary. There are some situations in ...
A Neural Network Implementation on Embedded Systems
(2010-07-22)
This dissertation presents a solution for embedded neural networks across many types of hardware and for many applications. The software package presented here allows the user to develop a neural network for a desired ...
Neural Profiles of Fear and Guilt: An Investigation Using Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Spectroscopy
(2019-01-09)
Fear and guilt are emotional processes that are implicated in the development and maintenance of psychiatric disorders. While research on fear has established a consistent neural network, a corresponding ‘guilt’ network ...
Neuro-Fuzzy System with Increased Accuracy Suitable for Hardware Implementation
(2009-05-15)
Fuzzy controllers are easy to design for complex control surfaces but produce rough control surfaces which might lead to unstable operation. On the other hand neural controllers are hard and complex to train but they produce ...
Neurobehavioral Consequences of Aging and Chronic Methylmercury Exposure: Interactions with Dietary Selenium
(2008-08-15)
Methylmercury (MeHg), although a well-described toxicant to the adult and developing nervous system, is inadequately understood in adult onset, low-level chronic exposure. Among the known effects are somatosensory deficits ...
Neurobehavioral Effects of Neonatal Methylmercury Exposure: Impacts on Perseveration and Learning
(2022-04-20)
Neural changes occurring during the neonatal period in rodents are akin to those seen in humans during the third trimester of pregnancy. The neonatal period is a developmental period during which the monoamine systems ...
Neurofunctional Correlates of Geometry and Feature Use in a Virtual Environment Across the Lifespan
(2017-04-12)
There are mixed results regarding the differentiation of neurofunctional correlates of spatial abilities. To help elucidate the existing mixed findings, three experiments were conducted. In Experiment 1, college-aged ...
Neuromorphic Computing Based on Superconductive Quantum Phase-Slip Junctions
(2021-11-29)
Superconductive electronics that exhibit ultra-low power consumption and high speed are good candidates for neuromorphic computing, which aims to emulate the human brain, as CMOS-based systems are approaching the bottleneck ...
Neuromuscular Insights for the Design and Control of Hand-Assistive Robots
(2022-12-09)
Engineers often neglect the dynamics of neuromuscular control when developing hand-assistive robots. Models of the hand that decouple ‘peripheral’ kinematic and sensory dynamics from the ‘central’ dynamics of neural ...
The Neurophysiological Correlates of Choice on Engagement, Motivation, and Motor Skill Learning
(2017-07-22)
Autonomous practice conditions have time and again shown to be advantageous for motor skill learning, but the reason for this benefit is still unclear. Some studies suggest this benefit arises from increased motivation ...
Neuroprotection against Methamphetamine Induced Neurotoxicity: Applications for Parkinson’s Disease
(2009-05-04)
Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder associated with selective degeneration of nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons. It is the most common of the neurodegenerative movement disorders, affecting ...
Neuroprotective effects of bioactive compounds (resveratrol and genistein) in various mouse models
(2021-04-26)
Obesity is a complex disease which has adverse effects on various organ including liver, heart and brain. It was shown that obesity is a significant risk factor for developing type 2 diabetes, heart disease and neurodegenerative ...
Neuroprotective effects of carnitinoid antioxidants in rodent models of mitochondrial dysfunction
