The effects of haloperidol on motor vigour and movement fusion during sequential reaching. by Sebastian Sporn, Joseph M Galea

“…To address this, we used a complex sequential reaching task in which rewards were based on movement times (MT). Crucially, MTs could be reduced via: 1) enhanced speed of individual movements (motor vigour effect) and/or 2) enhanced speed of transition between movements (movement fusion effect). 95 participants were randomly assigned to a reward or no reward group and were given either 2.5mg of the dopamine antagonist haloperidol or a placebo (control group). …”

Oral lactoferrin as a treatment of pediatrics’ anemia resulted from chronic kidney diseases: a randomized controlled trial by Sahar Kamal Hegazy, Mai Salah El-Din Koura, Mohamed Shokry Elharoun

“…Group 2 included 30 pediatric patients who were given IV iron dextran at a dosage of 50 mg three times weekly for 3 months. Both treatments are effective in treating CKD-induced anemia in pediatrics; however, oral lactoferrin demonstrated superior efficacy as there was a significant change within that group in levels of Hb, RBCs, MCH, iron, RDW-SD, MCHC, IL-6, and GDF-15 before and after treatment. …”

A Model for Vehicle Routing Problem under Returns and Emission Consideration in B2C E-Commerce Logistics by Sedat Belbağ

“…Furthermore, the cluster-based solution approach causes a considerable decrease in solution time while providing promising solutions.Originality: This study represents a contribution to the existing literature on the subject by considering: i) emission to determine effects on the vehicle routing problem, ii) the postponement of the collection of returned items due to the limited delivery time, iii) proposing the clustering-based solution approach to tackle with larger-sized problems.…”

The Detection Rate of Associated Mg ii Absorption Lines in Quasars Depends on Their Radio Emission by Zhi-Fu Chen, Luis C. Ho

“…Our analysis reveals that evolved quasars exhibit a significantly higher incidence of Mg ii -associated absorption lines compared to younger sources, particularly among quasars with “nonpeaked” radio spectra, which show an incidence of Mg ii -associated absorbers approximately 1.7 times greater than that of gigahertz-peaked spectrum sources. …”

A novel paradigm for fast training data generation in asynchronous movement-based BCIs by Markus R. Crell, Kyriaki Kostoglou, Kathrin Sterk, Gernot R. Müller-Putz, Gernot R. Müller-Putz

“…Such paradigms tend to introduce long delays between trials, thereby extending training times. To address this, we propose a novel experimental paradigm that enables the collection of 300 cued movement trials in 18 min.MethodsBy obtaining measurements from ten participants, we demonstrate that the data produced by this paradigm exhibits characteristics similar to those observed during self-paced movement.Results and discussionWe also show that classifiers trained on this data can be used to accurately detect executed movements with an average true positive rate of 31.8% at a maximum rate of 1.0 false positives per minute.…”
