Little evidence for Fast Mapping (FM) in adults
Conventional memory theory proposes that the hippocampus is initially responsible for encoding new information, before this responsibility is gradually transferred to the neocortex. Therefore, a report in 2011 by Sharon et al....
Investigating Fast Mapping Task Components
Fast mapping (FM) is an incidental learning process that is hypothesized to allow rapid, cortical-based memory formation, independent of the normal, hippocampally dependent episodic memory system. It is believed to underlie the...
Impact of Early Infant Growth, Duration of Breastfeeding and Maternal Factors on Total Body Fat Mass and Visceral Fat at 3 and 6 Months of Age.
Laura M Breij, Marieke Abrahamse-Berkeveld, Dennis Acton, Emanuella De Lucia Rolfe, Ken K Ong, Anita CS Hokken-Koelega
Apr 13, 2018
BACKGROUND: Accelerated gain in fat mass in the first months of life is considered to be a risk factor for adult diseases, given the tracking of infancy fat mass into adulthood. Our objective was to assess the influence of early...
Longitudinal fat mass and visceral fat during the first 6 months after birth in healthy infants
Laura M Breij, Gerthe F Kerkhof, Emanuella De Lucia Rolfe, Ken K Ong, Marieke Abrahamse-Berkeveld, Dennis Acton, Anita CS Hokken-Koelega
Jan 17, 2020
INTRODUCTION: Body composition in early life influences the development of obesity during childhood and beyond. It is, therefore, important to adequately determine longitudinal body composition during the first months of life....
Neurochemical Correlates of Brain Atrophy in Fibromyalgia Syndrome
Paola Feraco, Salvatore Nigro, Luca Passamonti, Alessandro Grecucci, Maria Eugenia Caligiuri, Cesare Gagliardo, Antonella Bacci
Jun 21, 2020
(1) Background: Recently, a series of clinical neuroimaging studies on fibromyalgia (FM) have shown a reduction in cortical volume and abnormally high glutamate (Glu) and glutamate + glutamine (Glx) levels in regions associated...
Response to commentaries on our review of Fast Mapping in adults.
We thank all the commentators for their thoughts on our review of Fast Mapping (FM) in adults, where we questioned the evidence that FM is a distinct learning mechanism, and urged caution over the excitement generated by the...
Maintenance Resources Optimization Using Pareto Analysis
Managing resource allocation for optimum effectiveness at various levels of maintenance activities is always a challenging task. Optimizing maintenance resources enables an organization to set priorities towards achieving...

The bound coherent neutron scattering lengths of the oxygen isotopes
Henry E Fischer, J Mike Simonson, Jörg C Neuefeind, Hartmut Lemmel, Helmut Rauch, Anita Zeidler, Philip S Salmon
Dec 19, 2012
The technique of neutron interferometry was used to measure the bound coherent neutron scattering length b(coh) of the oxygen isotopes (17)O and (18)O. From the measured difference in optical path between two water samples...

(1) Background: Recently, a series of clinical neuroimaging studies on fibromyalgia (FM) have shown a reduction in cortical volume and abnormally high glutamate (Glu) and glutamate + glutamine (Glx) levels in regions associated...
Discrimination of the phase of amplitude modulation applied to different carriers
The discrimination of amplitude modulation (AM) from frequency modulation (FM) of a 1000-Hz carrier, with equally detectable AM and FM, is better for a 2-Hz than for a 10-Hz modulation rate. This might reflect greater...

Dual Coding of Frequency Modulation in the Ventral Cochlear Nucleus.
Frequency modulation (FM) is a common acoustic feature of natural sounds and is known to play a role in robust sound source recognition. Auditory neurons show precise stimulus-synchronized discharge patterns that may be used for...
Stunting in infancy, pubertal trajectories and adult body composition
Glory Chidumwa, Rihlat Said-Mohamed, Lukhanyo H Nyati, Feziwe Mpondo, Tinashe Chikowore, Alessandra Prioreschi, Juliana Kagura, Lisa J Ware, Lisa K Micklesfield, Shane A Norris
Aug 14, 2021
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Childhood rapid growth and earlier puberty onset have been associated with adult obesity. However, the association between childhood stunting, pubertal timing and adult obesity is unclear. We examined...

Multifunctional porous Si nanostructure is designed to optically monitor enzymatic activity of horseradish peroxidase. First, an oxidized PSi optical nanostructure, a Fabry-Pérot thin film, is synthesized and is used as the...
Statistical critical reactive maintenance characterisation for digital twin implementation in universities
Purpose: Facilities management (FM) plays a key role in the performance of businesses to ensure the comfort of users and the sustainable use of natural resources over operation and maintenance. Nevertheless, reactive...
Roll-your-own cigarettes in Europe
Excise duties on roll-your-own (RYO) tobacco, which are generally based on RYO cigarettes containing 1 g of tobacco, are lower than duties on factory-made (FM) cigarettes. This provides a price incentive for smokers to switch to...
