AGE-PRESERVED SEMANTIC MEMORY AND THE CRUNCH EFFECT MANIFESTED AS DIFFERENTIAL SEMANTIC CONTROL NETWORKS: AN FMRI STUDY.

Age-preserved semantic memory and the CRUNCH effect manifested as differential semantic control networks: An fMRI study.

Semantic memory representations are overall well-maintained in aging whereas semantic control is thought to be more affected.To explain this phenomenon, this study aims to test the 730 sunken lake road predictions of the Compensation Related Utilization of Neural Circuits Hypothesis (CRUNCH) focusing on task demands in aging as a possible framework

Mitigating errors in logical qubits

Abstract Quantum error correcting codes can enable large quantum computations provided physical error rates are sufficiently low.We combine post-selection with surface code error correction through the use of exclusive decoders, which abort on decoding instances that are deemed too difficult.For the most discriminating of exclusive decoders, we sim

Insufficient recruitment and premature discontinuation of clinical trials in Switzerland: qualitative study with trialists and other stakeholders

AIMS OF THE STUDY Premature discontinuation occurs in about 25% of randomised clinical trials in Switzerland; it mainly affects investigator-initiated trials and is mostly due to problems with recruitment of laguna 3hp dust collector patients.The aim of this study was to qualitatively investigate reasons for trial discontinuation due to poor patien
