EATING AWAY AT PERSONAL PREJUDICE: EXAMINING ASSIMILATION OF BLACKS AND ASIANS USING CHARACTERS FROM AMC'S THE WALKING DEAD
Parasocial intergroup contact has been shown to influence beliefs about stigmatized groups, such as racial minorities. Previous work has demonstrated that affective factors, such as perspective taking, can account for the reductions in prejudice following parasocial interactions. The current study …

Algorithmic Meta-Creativity
… creative computing. Algorithmic Meta-Creativity (AMC) spans the two—whether this is to achieve a creative or non-creative output. Creativity in humans needs to be interpreted differently to machines. Humans and machines differ in many ways, we have different ‘brains/memory’, ‘thinking …

Sensitivity Analysis of RFML-based SEI Algorithms
… (SEI) and Automatic Modulation Classification (AMC) have seen rapid improvements in recent years. The applications of SEI, a technique used to associate a received signal to an emitter, and AMC, a technique for determining the modulation scheme present within a transmission, are necessary for a …

Periventricular white matter damage in the post-natal brain in hypoxic conditions
… mechanisms by which amoeboid microglial cells (AMC) and astrocytes induce oligodendrocyte and axon damage in hypoxic conditions were also examined. Wistar rats (1-day old) were subjected to hypoxia, following which upregulated tumor necrosis factor-a (TNF-a), interleukin-1ß (IL-1ß), monocyte …

Automatic Modulation Classication and Blind Equalization for Cognitive Radios
… the signal. The automatic modulation classifier (AMC) is an important signal processing component that helps the CR in identifying the modulation format employed in the detected signal. AMC algorithms developed so far can classify only signals from a single user present in a frequency band. In a …

Investigating the relationship between perceived motor competence and actual motor competence in adolescent youth
… patterns, i.e. in their actual motor competence (AMC). Additionally, research in the domain of self-perceptions illustrates that adolescents possess inordinate levels of perceived motor competence (PMC) relative to their low level of actual ability. Evaluating the role of the school community …

Purification of Two Myosin -Degrading Proteases From Porcine Skeletal Muscle
… protease did not hydrolyze Boc-Leu-Leu-Val-Tyr-AMC, but cleaved Boc-Val-Leu-Lys-AMC. The serine protease was optimally active at neutral pH and had little or no activity at pH below 6. On the other hand, activity of the cysteine protease was inhibited with E-64 but not affected by DFP. In …

Hormonal and metabolic responses to prolonged exercise in amenorrheic and eumenorrheic athletes
… to prolonged, aerobic exercise. Six amenorrheic (AMc) and eight eumenorrheic (EUc) athletes were subjected to 90 minutes of treadmill running at 60% of VO$\sb2$ max. The EUc subjects were tested in the early follicular (EF) (day 3-5), late follicular (LF) (day 13-17) and mid-luteal (ML) (day …

Antibody-modified conduits for extracorporeal selective cytokine filtration in sepsis
… response, using antibody-modified conduits (AMCs) to filter harmful cytokines selectively from the circulation and in a time-specific manner. Here, we characterize variables that affect AMC performance to determine optimal AMC conditions for later use downstream.
