A General Factor Involved in Dual-task Performance Decrement
The Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology Section A, 1996 Beyond specific conflicts between tasks that are obviously similar (e.g. two verbal tasks) and limits specific to speeded responses, is there a general limitation on what tasks can be done simultaneously? In two experiments, we examined dual-task combinations designed to avoid known sources of specific interference.

Fibroblast growth factor-23 and early decrements in kidney function: the Heart and Soul Study [PDF]
Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation, 2009 Fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF-23) is associated with mortality in dialysis patients, and concentrations are elevated in moderate chronic kidney disease (CKD). The threshold of CKD or albuminuria at which FGF-23 begins to change is unknown.In 792 outpatients with stable cardiovascular disease (CVD) and normal kidney function to moderate CKD, we ...

Effect of the insulation materials filling on the thermal performance of sintered hollow bricks
Case Studies in Thermal Engineering, 2018 Wall insulation performance is an important factor affecting building energy consumption and indoor comfortable level. The common method to improve the wall insulation performance is to integrate the insulation layer into the built foundation wall, but ...

Neuromuscular transmission failure in myasthenia gravis: decrement of safety factor and susceptibility of extraocular muscles [PDF]
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2012 An appropriate density of acetylcholine receptors (AChRs) and Na+channels (NaChs) in the normal neuromuscular junction (NMJ) determines the magnitude of safety factor (SF) that guarantees fidelity of neuromuscular transmission. In myasthenia gravis (MG), an overall simplification of the postsynaptic folding secondary to NMJ destruction results in AChRs

Application of the Random Decrement Technique in Damage Detection under Moving Load
Applied Sciences, 2018 This paper employs the random decrement technique as an output-only method to detect damage from the acceleration signals under a moving load. The random decrement technique is an especial averaging method that produces Random Decrement Signatures (RDS).

Effect of Phase Change Materials on Time Lag, Decrement Factor and Heat-Saving
Acta Physica Polonica A, 2017 In this study, the effect of phase change materials on the time lag, decrement factor and heat-saving is examined numerically. The calculations are conducted for four different cities located at different climatic zones in Turkey, considering both summer and winter conditions, in order to explore the potential heating and cooling energy savings by ...

Dynamic amplification factor for bridges with span length from 10 to 35 meters
Engineering Structures and Technologies, 2015 Heavy traffic on the bridge cause not only static effects, but also dynamic effects. These effects can be indicated by different dynamic parameters like – natural frequency, bridge logarithmical decrement, bridge acceleration and dynamic amplification ...
