TL;DR: The neuropsychological profile for executive functions of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) was explored to assess whether problems associated with the two most cited relevant processes-inhibition and attentional problems-were the core of any executive function difficulty.
Abstract: We explored the neuropsychological profile for executive functions of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) to assess whether problems associated with the two most cited relevant processes-inhibition and attentional problems-were the core of any executive function difficulty. A battery of executive function tests was administered to 31 children with a clinical diagnosis of ADHD and to 33 normal control participants, all aged between 7 and 12. The executive function battery encompassed a number of tasks, selected because each had multiple measures: a sustained attention reaction time task, a related vigilance task, an adaptation of the Hayling Sentence Completion Test, an adaptation of the Brixton Spatial Rule Attainment Test, a Letter Fluency task, a number Stroop task, and an "n-back" working memory task. The overall pattern of the results fit well with those obtained in previous studies as far as abnormalities of the ADHD group in the domain of inhibitory processes, attentional f...

TL;DR: The basic ingredients are by-products of a standard linear-response calculation of phonon dispersions in the harmonic approximation, resulting in a similarly good agreement with experiments.
Abstract: The anharmonic lifetimes of zone-center optical phonons in C, Si, and Ge are calculated along with their temperature and pressure dependences, using third-order density-functional perturbation theory. Our basic ingredients are by-products of a standard linear-response calculation of phonon dispersions in the harmonic approximation, resulting in a similarly good agreement with experiments. The microscopic mechanisms responsible for the decay are revealed and shown to be different for different materials and to depend sensitively on the applied pressure.

TL;DR: In this article, an imaginary time path integral approach to the quench dynamics of conformal field theories is presented, which can be applied to the determination of the time dependence of correlation functions and entanglement entropy for both global and local quenches.
Abstract: We review the imaginary time path integral approach to the quench dynamics of conformal field theories. We show how this technique can be applied to the determination of the time dependence of correlation functions and entanglement entropy for both global and local quenches. We also briefly review other quench protocols. We carefully discuss the limits of applicability of these results to realistic models of condensed matter and cold atoms.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the statistical properties of the main populations of radio sources, as emerging from radio and millimeter sky surveys, and discuss the potential of the new and forthcoming generations of radio telescopes.
Abstract: We review the statistical properties of the main populations of radio sources, as emerging from radio and millimeter sky surveys. Recent determinations of local luminosity functions are presented and compared with earlier estimates still in widespread use. A number of unresolved issues are discussed. These include: the (possibly luminosity-dependent) decline of source space densities at high redshifts; the possible dichotomies between evolutionary properties of low- versus high-luminosity and of flat- versus steep-spectrum AGN-powered radio sources; and the nature of sources accounting for the upturn of source counts at sub-milli-Jansky (mJy) levels. It is shown that straightforward extrapolations of evolutionary models, accounting for both the far-IR counts and redshift distributions of star-forming galaxies, match the radio source counts at flux-density levels of tens of μJy remarkably well. We consider the statistical properties of rare but physically very interesting classes of sources, such as GHz Peak Spectrum and ADAF/ADIOS sources, and radio afterglows of γ-ray bursts. We also discuss the exploitation of large-area radio surveys to investigate large-scale structure through studies of clustering and the Integrated Sachs–Wolfe effect. Finally, we briefly describe the potential of the new and forthcoming generations of radio telescopes. A compendium of source counts at different frequencies is given in Supplementary Material.

TL;DR: It is shown that preverbal 12-month-old bilingual infants have become more flexible at learning speech structures than monolinguals, which indicates that bilinguals may acquire two languages in the time in which monolingUALs acquire one because they quickly becomeMore flexible learners.
Abstract: Children acquire their native language according to a well-defined time frame. Surprisingly, although children raised in bilingual environments have to learn roughly twice as much about language as their monolingual peers, the speed of acquisition is comparable in monolinguals and bilinguals. Here, we show that preverbal 12-month-old bilingual infants have become more flexible at learning speech structures than monolinguals. When given the opportunity to simultaneously learn two different regularities, bilingual infants learned both, whereas monolinguals learned only one of them. Hence, bilinguals may acquire two languages in the time in which monolinguals acquire one because they quickly become more flexible learners.
