Vectors and Vector‐Borne Diseases: Biology, Epidemiology and Integrated Control Strategies

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Vector‐Borne Diseases (VBDs), transmitted by arthropods such as mosquitoes, ticks, fleas and sandflies, represent a significant threat to global health. These diseases can be caused by a variety of pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and helminths.

Modeling of RTS Noise in MOSFETs under Steady-State and Large-Signal Excitation [PDF]

, 2004
The behavior of RTS noise in MOSFETs under large-signal excitation is experimentally studied. Our measurements show a significant transient effect, in line with earlier reports.

Auditory listening effort and reaction time: a comparative study between single sided deaf cochlear implant users and normal hearing controls

Frontiers in Audiology and Otology
IntroductionCochlear implant (CI) provision has been shown to be the only hearing rehabilitation option that can improve speech perception in noise and sound localization in SSD listeners.

The Golden Section as Optical Limitation. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
The golden section, ϕ = (1 + √5)/2 = 1.618... and its companion ϕ = 1/ϕ = ϕ -1 = 0.618..., are irrational numbers which for centuries were believed to confer aesthetic appeal.

Sleep‐Related Attentional Bias in Insomnia: A Drift Diffusion Model Approach

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cognitive models propose that insomnia is maintained in part by selective attention to sleep‐related information, yet reaction‐time indices alone offer limited mechanistic specificity. We investigated sleep‐related attentional bias in adolescents and young adults with insomnia disorder (n = 201; aged 15–24 years; DSM‐5) using a sleep‐related ...

Computational models of the Posner simple and choice reaction time tasks

Frontiers in Computational Neuroscience, 2015
The landmark experiments by Posner in the late 1970s have shown thatreaction time (RT) is faster when the stimulus appears in an expectedlocation, as indicated by a cue; since then, the so-called Posnertask has been considered a ``gold standard'' test of

1/ ${f}^{\gamma}$ Low Frequency Noise Model for Buried Channel MOSFET

IEEE Journal of the Electron Devices Society, 2020
The Low Frequency Noise (LFN) in MOSFETs is critical to Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) demanding circuits. Buried Channel (BC) MOSFETs are commonly used as the source-follower transistors for CCDs and CMOS image sensors (CIS) for lower LFN.

Seeing the Speaker's Face Enhances Second Language Shadowing: Neural and Behavioral Evidence

Language Learning, EarlyView.
Abstract This functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study investigated how facial cues influence second language (L2) shadowing among 42 Japanese learners of English. Participants completed four conditions that varied by task type (listening vs. shadowing) and visual input (face vs. mosaic).

How Awareness of Orthographic Transparency Benefits the Lexical Encoding of Second Language Vowels

Language Learning, EarlyView.
Abstract We investigated the influence of orthographic transparency, and learners’ awareness of it, on the second language (L2) phonolexical encoding of Brazilian Portuguese (BP) mid‐vowel contrasts. In BP, accent marks indicate vowel quality (mid‐closed vs.

Peculiarities of the SCLC Effect in Gate‐All‐Around Silicon Nanowire Field‐Effect Transistor Biosensors

Advanced Electronic Materials
High‐quality liquid gate‐all‐around (LGAA) silicon nanowire (NW) field‐effect transistor (FET) biosensors are fabricated and studied their properties in 1 mm phosphate‐buffered saline solution with pH = 7.4 using transport and noise spectroscopy.
