In a single blind placebo controlled study, 35 healthy young adults were randomly assigned to three sessions of either active γ-tACS (n=18) or passive sham (n=17), test the short-term and long-term efficacy over left DLPFC improve visuospatial working memory performance in spatial capacity delayed response task (SCDRT). The design allowed evaluate influence stimulation protocol (active vs. sham), session (day 1 3), block (before stimulation, during after stimulation) VSWM retention load (1,...
Objective: The aims of the study were to test short-term and long-term efficacy repetitive γ-tACS over left DLPFC improve visuospatial working memory performance in spatial capacity delayed response task (SCDRT). Methods: In a single blind placebo-controlled study, 35 healthy young adults randomly assigned three sessions either active (n = 18) or passive sham 17) design allowed us evaluate influence stimulation protocol (active vs. sham), session number (day 1 3), block (before stimulation,...
This paper presents a new system to measure the Intraocular Pressure (IOP) with very high accuracy (0.036 mbar) used for monitoring glaucoma. The not only monitors daily variation of IOP (circadian IOP), but also allows perform an spectral analysis pressure signal generated by heartbeat (cardiac IOP). comprises piezoresistive sensor, application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) read out sensor data and external reader installed on customized glasses. ASIC readout electronics combines...
Recently, many experiments have highlighted the advantage of using polycapillary optics for x-ray fluorescence studies. We developed a special confocal scheme micro measurements that enables us to obtain not only elemental mapping sample but also simultaneously its own imaging. designed prototype compact spectrometer characterized by spatial resolution less than 100 microm and 10 A couple lenses in configuration together with silicon drift detector allow studies extended samples...
An analytical protocol based on X-ray spectroscopic measurements (XRF and Fe Ti K-edges XAS) has been applied to evaluate the mineralogical phase composition of dust trapped in deep ice cores. Information insoluble local species-selective information as oxidation coordination states obtained recognize main families aerosol particles contained In this framework we point out possibility obtain characterization from core samples Antarctica by means XANES spectroscopy.
Abstract Most models of language comprehension assume that the linguistic system is able to pre-activate phonological information. However, evidence for prediction mixed and controversial. In this study, we implement a paradigm capitalizes on fact foreign speakers usually make errors. We investigate whether speaker identity (native vs. foreign) used specific predictions. Fifty-two participants were recruited read sentence frames followed by last spoken word which was uttered either native or...
Glaucoma is worldwide acknowledged to be the main leading cause of irreversible blindness. High intraocular pressure (IOP) considered risk factor for glaucoma. Lowering IOP continues only evidence-based treatment prevent its development or reduce progression rate.
This paper presents the design and development of a novel in-line capacitive moisture sensor for polymer industries. can reach precision 5 ppm (equivalent to capacitance change 10 fF) in harsh industrial environments over wide temperature range from 0°C +200°C. Simulation results used optimize sensitivity experimental obtained measurements polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) during drying cycle 6 hours are reported.

This paper presents the design and development of a body sensor network for posturometric studies comprising wireless precision balance number other sensing devices such as accelerometers surface electromyography (sEMG) probes. The data measured by this is synchronically sent to laptop or an smartphone (iPhone) using Bluetooth 4.0 transceivers in order measure study postural alterations human body.
In this work the results on X-ray micro-imaging by means of novel polycapillary optical elements will be presented. To simulate various radiation propagation processes in both single capillary and systems, a PolyCAD code was developed. Many experiments have recently revealed advantage confocal configuration for fluorescence studies. Moreover, our experimental prototype layout (developped INFN - LNF laboratories, Frascati) enables possibility to obtain μXRF mapping simultaneous with...
Object relatives are more difficult to process than subject relatives. Several sentence processing models have been proposed explain this difference. As double-center embedding contain several long-distance dependencies, they an ideal configuration compare models. The main aim of the present study was predictions featural Relativized Minimality approach with ones other relevant 57 Italian-speaking healthy adults answered comprehension questions concerning first, second, or third verb appear...
