Efficient reading requires the association of different letter identities with their positions in the written word. This leads to the development of a specialized mechanism for encoding flexible location-invariant letter positions through learning to read. In this study, we investigated not only the emergence and development of this position coding mechanism but also whether this mechanism is a consequence of the orthographic code (i.

Article Synopsis
  • Previous studies show conflicting results on whether children with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome have a specific magnitude representation deficit affecting their arithmetic skills.
  • Fifteen children with the syndrome and 23 healthy controls participated in a task involving non-symbolic magnitude comparisons, alongside assessments of arithmetic and cognitive functioning.
  • Findings indicate that while children with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome were as quick as their peers, they made more errors, suggesting a general magnitude representation deficit; however, this wasn't directly linked to their arithmetic performance, highlighting the importance of working memory in supporting math skills.

Polarization phenomena play a key role in membrane separation processes but remain largely unexplored for gas separations, where the mass transfer resistance is most often limited to the membrane. This assumption, which is commonly used today for the simulation of membrane gas separations, has to be reconsidered when high-performance materials, showing a very high permeance and/or selectivity, are used. In this study, a series of steady-state separation performances experimentally obtained on CO/CH mixtures with a zeolite membrane are compared to the predictions of a dedicated 1D approach, recently derived and validated through CFD simulations.

Background: Deep sedation may be indicated in the intensive care unit (ICU) for the management of acute organ failure, but leads to sedative-induced delirium. Whether processed electroencephalography (p-EEG) is useful in this setting is unclear.

Aim: To describe the PSI index in deeply sedated critically ill patients with acute organ failure, and to examine a potential association between low PSI values and ICU delirium.
