IRON OVERLOAD AND BIRTH DEFECTS
Large, intravenous doses of iron-dextran are teratogenic in a number of laboratory species (M Phil). To elucidate the mechanism, studies were performed in rats and rabbits to identify possible maternal, placental and foetal sites of action. Maternal toxicity, manifested by bodyweight depression, …

Analysis and Optimization of Networks in Overload
Network overload occurs when the demand of network users exceeds the network capacity. The increasing gap between the growth of network demand and capacity, resulting from the surge in data-intensive machine learning applications and the slowdown in Moore’s law, led to more frequent and severe …

Reevaluating Encoding-Retrieval Match and Cue Overload
… of encoding-retrieval match and cue overload in their original task design. The current study replaced the implicit category cue in the high-overload, high-match conditions with an explicit cue in an attempt to strengthen the manipulation. We hypothesized that the addition of an …

Quantifying fluid overload with portable magnetic resonance sensors
… for the purpose of quantifying fluid overload. MRI is used extensively in clinical medicine, but it is still not used for routine diagnostics due to high cost, limited availability, and long scan times. Many of these impracticalities come from the hardware requirements associated with …

Overload control and performance evaluation in a Parlay/OSA environment
… and to protect the gateways from shutting down, overload control mechanisms are needed. This thesis proposes and evaluates different overload control mechanisms in a Parlay/OSA environment. The main objectives of the overload control mechanisms are to protect the system and to maintain a high …

Investigating Metacognitive Fluency as a Judgment Cue in Choice Overload
<p>Choice overload describes the finding that individuals report being less satisfied and defer choice more often when choosing from larger rather than smaller choice sets. Researchers have proposed various theoretical models to account for this phenomenon; however, these models have yielded …
