A delayed response policy for autonomous intersection management
The DARPA Urban Challenge in 2007 showed that fully autonomous vehicles, driven by computers without human intervention on public roads, are technologically feasible with current intelligent vehicle technology [6]. Some researchers predict that within 5-20 years there will be autonomous vehicles …

Task-Dependent Oscillatory Brain Activity During Oculomotor Delayed Response Task
This study used three Oculomotor Delayed Response (ODR) tasks to investigate the unique cognitive demands during the delay period. Changes in alpha power were used to index cognitive efforts during the delay period. Continuous EEGs from 25 healthy young adults (18-34 years) were recorded using …

Delayed Reinforcement and Delayed Response in Discrimination Learning of Developmentally Retarded Children
… to contrast the effect of a short delay in response with the same duration of delay of reinforcement in order to evaluate the possibility that reinforcement-delay alone during the standard response-delay experiment is responsible for decremental effects.

Influence of Climate Variability on Terrestrial Hydrology in North America
… It is found that the terrestrial hydrology has a delayed response to the ENSO signal, as compared to the precipitation, and the delay may range from a month to a season or longer. The soil moisture storage plays a very vital role in delaying the effects of the climate variability on the …

Occupant location prediction in smart buildings using association rule mining
… accordance with occupant movements. Due to the delayed response of HVAC systems, prediction of occupant locations is necessary to maximize energy efficiency. We present an approach to occupant location prediction based on association rule mining, allowing prediction based on historical occupant …

Evaluation of Gait and Slip Characteristics for Adults with Mental Retardation
… conducted to quantify normal walking and slip response characteristics for adults with MR as well as a group of non-disabled age- and gender-matched peers. Kinetic and kinematic data were collected and a number of variables relating to gait pattern, slip propensity, and slip severity were …

Factors influencing the infectivity of the potato cyst nematodes, Globodera rostochiensis and G. pallida
… (PRD) (early hatching JJ2) or following a delayed response (late hatching JJ2). There was little difference in the desiccation survival of the two groups but behavioural assays indicated that early hatching JJ2 travelled further than late hatching JJ2. Selection for early hatch was achieved …

The Expression and Cellular Localization of Cc-Chemokine Receptor 5 (Ccr5) After Traumatic Brain Injury
… hemorrhage. Following the initial insult, a delayed response occurs and is characterized by hypoxia, ischemia, cerebral edema, and infection. During secondary brain injury, a series of neuroinflammatory events are triggered that can produce additional damage but may also help to protect …

Investigations into controllers for adaptive autonomous agents based on artificial neural networks.
… were based on a framework for the simulation of delayed response learning using supervised learning techniques. A further new architecture, based on a second-order recurrent neural network, was designed for this set of studies. It was then compared with existing architectures. Some interesting …

Effects of dietary fermentable material on innate and adaptive immune measures in male and female rats under resting and immunized conditions
… (Day 0, 5, 10, 15) and secondary antibody responses (Day 21) were measured following immunization with a T cell-dependent antigen, Keyhole Limpet Hemocyanin (KLH). Under resting conditions, male rats had more FoxP3+ Treg cells in the mesenteric lymph node (MLN) and spleen than did females. …

Effects of Food Consumption on Cell Proliferation in the Brain of Python regius
… a characteristic specific dynamic action (SDA) response after food intake with an increase in metabolic rate that facilitates processing the meal. Associated with this change in SDA, pythons (Python spp.) also exhibit impressive plasticity in their digestive and cardiovascular physiology due to …

Pastoral Leadership of Seventh-day Adventist Pastors in Sub-Saharan Africa and Congregational Giving During 2020-2021: A Grounded Theory Study
… in giving, an improved motivation to give or a delayed response represent other possibilities. Through the process of selective coding, these behavioral strategies (categories) were consolidated into a possible theoretical model: “Mobilizing Resources During Disruption.”</p> <p>Conclusions</p> …

Population Ecology of Rhabdomys dilectus dilectus in the Western Soutpansberg Mountains
… influenced trapping success, with a delayed response linked to increased vegetation growth and resource availability, particularly in the Wetland. The Wilderness Camp exhibited greater species diversity, while the Patches had higher diversity indices despite lower overall species …

Applications of Focused Ultrasound for Reducing Amyloid-β in a Mouse Model of Alzheimer's Disease
… FUS led to a time-dependent increase in glial response. The expression of ionized calcium-binding adaptor molecule 1, a marker of phagocytic microglia, was increased at 4 hours and 4 days, and it was resolved by 15 days. Astrocytes had a slightly delayed response, with an increase in the …

Event-related potential correlates of face-emotion processing impairments in bipolar disorder
… and vertex positive potentials in BD patients. Delayed response inhibition of emotional stimuli in BD was identified in the third analysis. In the second study, a novel experimental task was implemented to investigate the effects of face-emotion on auditory processing. Dual click stimuli …

10,000 Drowned: Commemorating the Caribou
… the land and then drown. The exhibition is my delayed response to my anguish over this disaster. I grew up on the land situated around the Chisasibi River in Northern Quebec. Through my Cree and Inuit relatives, I absorbed a lot of knowledge about how to live with the land and animals; how to …

Glacier Surge Dynamics on Western Axel Heiberg Island, Nunavut
… Instead, Airdrop Glacier could be experiencing a delayed response to positive mass balance conditions of the Little Ice Age, and its recent slowdown could be indicative of a gradual adjustment to recent climatic conditions.

Pharmacological Characterization of Novel Serotonin Transporter Inhibitors Identified Through Computational Structure-Based Virtual Screening
… are not perfect therapeutics and suffer from delayed response times, inconsistent efficacy among patients, and often produce intolerable side effects. Therefore, a strong need exists to develop new antidepressants that are more efficacious and have fewer adverse effects. The Surratt and Madura …
