Our understanding of how value-related information is encoded in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) is based mainly on the responses of individual putative dopamine neurons.In contrast to cortical areas, the nature of coordinated interactions between groups of VTA neurons during motivated behavior is largely unknown.These interactions can strongly af
Abstract This paper deals with the collapse load of Water Features corroded parallel steel units, such as sets of corroded strands alone, or embedded in a concrete core.It is shown that what is relevant is the distribution of the damage between the units, and not the total area loss due to corrosion.The paper also shows that assuming that the area
Background and aimsApart from visual effects of daylight it has observed to elicit powerfulnon visual effects.It controls the circadian rhythm of hormone secretions and body temperaturewith implications for sleep/wake states, alertness, mood and behavior.In this study new metricscalled "Daylight Autonomy" and "Useful Daylight Illuminance" were calc
Quality control procedures in the manufacturing of tableware ceramics require a demanding, monotonous, subjective, and faulty human manual inspection.This paper presents two machine learning strategies and the results of a semi-automated visual inspection of ceramics tableware applied to a private dataset acquired during the VAICeramics project.In
A phylogenetic analysis of the four coleopteran suborders (Polyphaga, Archostemata, Myxophaga and Adephaga), four other endoneopteran taxa (Strepsiptera, Neuropterida, Mecopterida and Hymenoptera) and three neopteran outgroups (Orthoneoptera, Blattoneoptera and Hemineoptera) is performed based on 63 characters of hind wing venation, articulation an
