The Green's function formalism as a bridge between single- and multi-compartmental modeling
(2013-12)
Neurons are spatially extended structures that receive and process inputs on their dendrites. It is generally accepted that neuronal computations arise from the active integration of synaptic inputs along a dendrite between ...
China: Experience of radioactive waste (RAW) management
(Woodhead Publishing Limited, 2013-12-01)
Progress in the management of China's radioactive waste (RAW) is described, including waste generation, waste management policy, and current practices in regional disposal of low and intermediate level waste (LILW) and ...
Accuracy and preference of measuring resting energy expenditure using a handheld calorimeter in healthy adults
(2013-12)
Background: Accurate estimates of energy expenditure are required in clinical nutrition in order to determine the requirements of individuals and to inform feeding regimes. Calorimetry can provide accurate measurements but ...
Current-mode high-frequency wavelet filter based on leap-frog multiple-loop feedback structure
(2013-12-01)
A method is proposed to realize high-frequency wavelet transform in analogue filter by employing Gm-C circuits and current-mode leap-frog multiple loop feedback structure in this paper. Also, to enhance the performance, ...
Age-related differences in everyday prospective memory tasks : The role of planning and personal importance
(2013-12)
The aim of the present studies was to investigate whether age-related improvement found in naturalistic but experimenter-given prospective memory (PM) tasks can be generalized to real-life intentions. In Study 1, younger, ...

This paper presents an exploratory Human-Robot Interaction study which investigated robot etiquette, in particular focusing on understanding the types and forms of robot behaviours that people might expect from a robot ...
Effects of different kinds of robot feedback
(Springer Nature, 2013-12-01)
In this paper, we investigate to what extent tutors' behavior is influenced by different kinds of robot feedback. In particular, we study the effects of online robot feedback in which the robot responds either contingently ...
