Relief fits the definition of a reward.Unlike other reward types the pleasantness of relief depends on the violation of a negative expectation, yet this has not been investigated using neuroimaging approaches.We hypothesized that the degree of negative expectation depends on state (dread) and trait (pessimism) sensitivity.Of the brain regions that
This paper presents a proposal for a microgrid test rig for laboratory use.It aims at high flexibility using a modular approach with a common hardware for most of the tasks.The proposed framework for laboratory scale microgrid addresses the requirements for teaching and research.This objective is attained with a reconfigurable power electronics sta
ABSTRACT Giardia intestinalis is a protozoan parasite that causes giardiasis, a form of severe and infectious diarrhea.Despite the importance of the cell cycle in the control of proliferation and differentiation during a giardia infection, it has been difficult to study this process due to the absence of a synchronization procedure that would not i
Aneurysms of the internal carotid artery are the second most common among cerebral aneurysms.When an aneurysm is located in the ophthalmic segment of the internal carotid artery (ICA), the intravascular treatment method is a priority.At the same time, the treatment of recurrent and non-radially switched-off aneurysms of this localization remains a
Sunflower serves as a valuable rotational crop, suitable for snack processing or sunflower seed oil extraction, proving to be a lucrative cash crop.To address sunflower yield uncertainties, this study employs meta-analysis to examine the impact of fertilisation.Utilising 41 studies and 392 pairs of observations based on four criteria, we found an o
