Behavioral Inhibition/Activation and Autonomic Control of the Heart: Extending the Autonomic Flexibility Model
The autonomic flexibility model has proven to be a useful theoretical tool relating reductions in physiological variability found to accompany anxiety and concomitant reductions in behavioral (e.g., cognitive and emotional) flexibility. The present study aimed to extend the autonomic flexibility …

Autonomic Product Development Process Automation
… to operate in this dynamic environment. An autonomic product development process automation strategy is proposed in order to provide a flexible, standardized approach to product development process automation and to significantly reduce the software maintenance costs associated with …

The Autonomic Correlates of Listening Effort
… this thesis were driven by empirical evidence on autonomic nervous system activity and motivational intensity theory (Brehm, 1989; Wright, 1996), to provide a systematic, inclusive and theory-driven examination of the physiological correlates of listening effort. It was hypothesised that, to avoid …

Autonomic dysfunction in primary Sjögren's syndrome
… to evaluate objective and subjective signs of autonomic dysfunction (AD) in patients with primary Sjögren’s syndrome (pSS) and to evaluate its clinical associations. In study I, 46 pSS patients and 56/80/238 autonomic nervous function test (ANT) controls participated. Objective signs of AD were …

Facilitating functional adaptation in autonomic networks
… model, as one size, fits all design. Research in Autonomic Networks [1] aim to provide an alternative solution for these problems by promoting the localization and customization though the use of self-* properties either at service or network level. The Autonomic Network Architecture (ANA) project …

Eye Accommodation, Personality, and Autonomic Balance
The autonomic nervous system is made up of two subsystems: the parasympathetic (PNS) and the sympathetic (SNS). The balance between these systems regulates bodily functioning during routine (PNS-dominant) and crisis (SNS-dominant) situations. It also controls visual accommodation for near …

Analyzing autonomic activity in neonatal seizures
… with changes in the discharge pattern of the autonomic nervous system, which could be picked up in heart rate (HR) or heart-rate variability (HRV) analysis. More fundamentally, we seek to investigate whether seizures in the neonate are confined to the cerebral cortex or whether they might …

Runtime Adaptation for Autonomic Heterogeneous Computing
… dissertation is to lay the foundation for an autonomic system for heterogeneous computing, employing runtime adaptation to improve performance portability and performance consistency while maintaining or increasing programmability. We investigate heterogeneity arising from a myriad of factors, …

THE EFFECTS OF GASTRIC AND HOMEOSTATIC AUTONOMIC AFFERENT REFLEXES ON CARDIAC AUTONOMIC EFFERENT ACTIVITY IN HEALTHY HUMAN VOLUNTEERS
The effects of gastric autonomic afferent reflexes on cardiovascular autonomic efferent activity are regarded as a direct neural effect of the activation of gastric receptors which send afferent inputs to the central nervous system (CNS) to cause various cardiovascular changes (Van Orshoven et al., …

Autonomic neuropathy and impotence in Zambian diabetics
… six months to determine the prevalences of both autonomic neuropathy and impotence in diabetics in Zambia. The subjects of the study group were from those diabetics attending the diabetic outpatient clinic at the University Teaching Hospital, Lusaka, Zambia, Three tests were used to diagnose …

Autonomic Workload Management for Database Management Systems
… process. We propose a general framework for autonomic workload management for database management systems (DBMSs) to dynamically monitor and control the flow of the workloads and help DBMSs achieve the performance objectives without human intervention. Our framework consists of multiple …

CARDIOVASCULAR AUTONOMIC IMPAIRMENT IN GBA PARKINSONIAN PATIENTS
… PD (I-PD), raising the question of whether autonomic dysfunction is more frequent or expressed differently in GBA-PD patients. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate cardiovascular autonomic function in GBA-PD patients compared to I-PD patients. The primary objective was to evaluate the …

Self-organising agent communities for autonomic computing
… human administration.<br/><br/>For this reason, autonomic system architectures capable of regulating their own functioning are suggested as the alternative solution to looming software complexity crisis. Here, large-scale infrastructures are assumed to comprise myriads of autonomic elements, each …

Cortical and autonomic modulation of attentional control /
… work has been done on the role of the ACC in autonomic regulation. Its connections through the vagus nerve to the sinoatrial node of the heart are thought to exert modulatory control over cardiovascular arousal. Therefore, ACC is not only responsible for the implementation of cognitive …

Autonomic Patterns of Emotion across Multiple Contexts
Research on the autonomic specificity of emotion has spanned several decades. Even though considerable evidence exists for supporting autonomic specificity for discrete emotion states (Kreibig, 2010), there is still an active debate, and conflicting explanations, for these findings (Quigley and …

Do Different Music Genres Differentially Affect Autonomic Activity? How Music and Sound Affect Autonomic Activity Aroused by Visual Stimuli
… music would differentially influence measures of autonomic nervous system activity (heart rate, galvanic skin response) while viewing visual stimuli in a sample of college students. All participants listened to the same songs and music genres and viewed the same International Affective Picture …

AutoTaSC : Model driven development for autonomic software engineering
… has been achieved towards the development of autonomic software engineering tools and techniques including: policy-based management, modelbased development, service-oriented architecture and model driven architecture. They have often focused on and started from chosen object-oriented models of …
