Boston Naming Test with Latencies (BNT-L)
… latency times, the Boston Naming Test of Latencies (BNT-L), in order to improve the instrument's sensitivity to mild to moderate word-finding impairment. Experiment 1: Latency times on the 60-item BNT (Goodglass et al., 2001) for 235 healthy adults' ages 18-89 years were collected on a …

Latencies in paired-associate learning with normal and retarded children
… learning was studied. The variables studied were latencies and response scores. The results of the present study did not support the all-or-none assumption of stationarity for both the latency and the response scores of the reatrded and the normal Ss. Despite the latter results and the fact that …

Scheduling for Reduced Tail Task Latencies in Highly Utilised Datacenters
Modern datacenters have become the backbone for running diverse workloads that increasingly comprise data-parallel computational jobs. Due to the ease of use and diversity of resources they host there has been a rise in the demand for datacenters leading to high volumes of traffic. Datacenters …

Response latencies in a social conformity paradigm: effects of a referent's competence
… (the proportion of conforming predictions), two latencies were measured: the interval between the reference prediction and the subject's verbal prediction (decision time), and the interval between the stimulus presentation and the subject's identification response (choice reaction time). …

The effects of social influence on neonatal approach latencies of domestic chicks (Gallus domesticus)
Schulman, Rimpau, & Lythgoe (1975) showed that chicks that were housed and trained in pairs demonstrated a greater resistance to extinction of the neonatal approach response than did chicks that were housed and trained in isolation. The purpose of the present study was to attempt to replicate the …

Temporal dynamics of choice behaviour: an examination of pre- and post-choice latencies in rats and humans
… allocation by assessing pre- and post-choice latencies when animals and human choose between two probabilistically rewarded options. The experiments presented here used a discrete-trial procedure which allowed the choice process to be decomposed into three distinct behavioural stages. We …

Visual-auditory interstimulus contingency effects in saccade programming
… interstimulus contingencies on the latencies and amplitudes of saccadic eye movements. In a new experimental procedure, the interstimulus contingencies were defined in the locations of a target and an accompanying stimulus rather than in the mere presence or absence of the stimuli. …

Electrophysiologic detection of the neurotoxic effects of acrylamide and 2,5-hexanedione in rats
… more variable than BAEP results. Mean latencies in the control, food restricted and acrylamide groups were similar for the entire three weeks. A nonsignificant increase was seen in the mean latencies in the 2,5-hexanedione group. Brain stem auditory evoked potential latencies recorded …

Effects of novel ingesta from novel presenters on food acceptance in infants of different ages
… flexion, and percentage intake. Reliably longer latencies occurred to the novel than to the familiar presenter on first and second bites for both age groups. No reliable effects were found to the appearance of the novel food on latencies to the first bite or to the taste cues of the novel food on …

The Effect of Centrally Administered D-Alanine-Methionine-Enkephalinamide (Dala) on the Copulatory Behavior of Male Hamsters
… enkephalinamide (DALA) with increased mounting latencies and decreased mounting frequencies (Gessa, 1979). To determine DALA's effect on a related but more seasonally breeding species and to examine the effect of repeated exposures to increased central enkephalins, sexually experienced male …

Gender Differences in Working Memory in Humans Tested on a Virtual Morris Water Maze.
… Men had significantly reduced acquisition latencies and more accurate heading errors on the first daily trial compared to women. In Experiment 2, the release point and platform location was changed every fourth trial for 20 trials. Men had significantly shorter acquisition latencies and …

Improving Pan-African research and education networks through traffic engineering: A LISP/SDN approach
… dynamic ranking of inter-NREN paths to reduce latencies. The thesis makes two contributions: firstly, mapping Africa's inter-NREN topology and quantifying the extent and impact of circuitous routing; and, secondly, a dynamic traffic engineering scheme based on Software Defined Networking (SDN), …

Prenatal stress alters fear-conditioned behaviors and the response to serotonergic drugs
… PS rats have greater peak responses and longer latencies to reach the peak response following systemic doses of the 5-HT 1A agonist, 8-OH-DPAT, compared to CON rats. The PS rats had shorter latencies than the CON rats under vehicle treatment.;In fear-potentiated startle testing, peak startle …

On-Stack Replacement Across User-Kernel Boundaries
… amounts of work done at each node, networking latencies quickly add up, especially in comparison to the time taken to execute small tasks. As such, lowering network latencies is crucial to getting good performance. Previous research has shown that often the largest contributors to network …

Effects of Motion on Infants' Negativity Bias in Emotion Perception
… differences in 8- to 12-month-old infants' latencies to disengage from a centrally-presented face for three different emotion conditions-happy, sad, and fear. The events also varied by motion type-static versus dynamic. Additionally, infants' locomotor experience and parental affect served …

Beefing Up The Buffer Cache
… demands fast computations. Even the slightest latencies can have severe consequences and cost companies a fortune in lost revenue every hour. A vital component for reducing latency in computer systems is the cache. A cache's main purpose is to store data that is frequently re-accessed, and …
