The mediating effect of anxiety and depression on the association between adverse experiences and executive functioning in young adults by Juan Francisco Palomares Gómez, Anyerson Stiths Gómez Tabares, Catalina Gallego Montes

“…EF of working memory (WAIS-IV Working Memory Index), shifting (Wisconsin Card Sorting Test - WSCT), inhibitory control (Test of Colors and Words - STROOP), anxiety (Trait-State Anxiety Inventory - IDARE), depression (Beck Depression Inventory-II) and ACEs (Fellity ACEs Questionnaire) were measured. Results: ACEs have strong and direct effects on anxiety and depression, moderate effects on executive functioning, and emotional variables have a weak impact on executive functioning. …”

Ramp Metering for a Distant Downstream Bottleneck Using Reinforcement Learning with Value Function Approximation by Yue Zhou, Kaan Ozbay, Pushkin Kachroo, Fan Zuo

“…This is because under the control of a conventional linear feedback-type ramp metering strategy, when metered traffic from the ramp arrive at the distant downstream bottleneck, the state of the bottleneck may have significantly changed from when it is sampled for computing the metering rate; due to the considerable time, these traffic will have to take to traverse the long distance between the ramp and the bottleneck. …”

Systemic functional grammar: a tool to investigate the lexicogrammatical complexification of advanced portuguese-efl interlanguage by Pedro H. L. Praxedes Filho

“…The narratives would be considered to bear a high level of complexification if they had more than 80% of complete clauses in terms of transitivity and mood configurational functions. The hypothesis that the spoken and written narratives would have a high level of complexification separately (87.61% and 94.14%) and together (90.72%) was confirmed, and so was the hypothesis that the written narratives would present an even higher level. …”
