MONITORING SUPPORTS PERFORMANCE IN A DUAL-TASK PARADIGM INVOLVING A RISKY DECISION-MAKING TASK AND A WORKING MEMORY TASK

Monitoring supports performance in a dual-task paradigm involving a risky decision-making task and a working memory task

Performing two cognitively demanding tasks at the same time is known to decrease performance.The current study investigates the underlying executive functions of a dual-tasking situation involving the simultaneous Mandoline performance of decision making under explicit risk and a working memory task.It is suggested that making a decision and perfor

In-situ growth P-N heterojunction composite photocatalyst enhanced visible-light-driven photocatalytic performance

Improving the extraction and separation rate of electron-hole couple in photocatalysis is one of Tools the key technologies to improve the catalytic performance of photocatalysts.Flower-like g-C3N4/BiOBr positive and negative (P-N) heterojunction composite were prepared by in-situ method using graphite phase carbon nitride as basic dopant, which wa

Better late than never? Interannual and seasonal variability in breeding chronology of gentoo penguins at Stranger Point, Antarctica

Rapid climate change recorded in the western Antarctic Peninsula confronts species with less predictable conditions in the marine and terrestrial environments.We analysed the breeding chronology and nesting site selection of gentoo penguins (Pygoscelis papua) at King George Island (Isla 25 de Toys Mayo), Antarctica, during four seasons in which dif

Predictors of response to chronic hepatitis C treatment

INowadays the standard of care NEROLI OIL for hepatitis C therapy is based on Pegylated interferon alpha and ribavirin (Peg IFN/RBV).This combination has led to a sustained virological response rate (SVR) of 50 to 80% depending on genotype.This is still low, considering the side effects, overall costs and duration of therapy.So far, strategies to f

Electron microscopic observation of human auricular chondrocytes transplanted into peritoneal cavity of nude mice for cartilage regeneration

Restoration of damaged cartilage tissue has been deemed futile with current treatments.Although there have been many studies on cartilage regeneration thus far, there is no report that chondrocytes were completely re-differentiated in vitro.The clarification of cellular composition and matrix production during cartilage regeneration must be elucida
