This dissertation describes the design and implementation of a suit of static analyses and code generation techniques to annotate programs with OpenMP pragmas for task parallelism. These techniques approximate the ranges ...

Why is the human brain fundamentally limited when attempting to execute two tasks at the same time or in close succession? Two classical paradigms, psychological refractory period (PRP) and task switching, have independently ...

Two-­pore domain potassium (K2P) channels trigger the background K+ currents in mammalian cells. K2P channels are separated into six subfamilies based on their structural and functional properties. The acid-­sensitive ...

This paper argues that changes in the returns to occupational tasks have contributed to changes in the wage distribution over the last three decades. Using Current Population Survey (CPS) data, we first show that the 1990s ...

Task-Based Language Teaching considers the real-life task to be performed by learners as the core aspect of language teaching. This is deeply related to the emphasis given by the ESP approaches to the specific language ...

This study considers the function and complexity of tasks during foraging of three Acromyrmex species. Foraging was classified as a team task composed of 2 or 3 processes: recruitment, selection, and collection. Each process ...

The two-pore domain potassium (K2P) channel TASK-3 is a highly expressed in hippocampus, cerebellum and cortical areas of the brain. Besides regulating neurotransmitter functions, TASK-3 has an oncogenic potential and it ...

Cancellation tasks have been largely used to evaluate visuospatial function and attention. Cognitive evaluation of low literacy subjects remains a challenge in developing countries, when it becomes necessary to distinguish ...
