Reactivating and reorganizing activity-silent working memory: two distinct mechanisms underlying pinging the brain by Yang, C, He, X, Cai, Y

“…Recent studies have proposed that visual information in working memory (WM) can be maintained in an activity-silent state and reactivated by task-irrelevant high-contrast visual impulses (“ping”). Although pinging the brain has become a popular tool for exploring activity-silent WM, its underlying mechanisms remain unclear. …”

A random-key genetic algorithm-based method for transportation network vulnerability envelope analysis under simultaneous multi-link disruptions by Gu, Y, Ryu, S, Xu, Y, Chen, A, Chan, H-Y, Xu, X

“…Transportation network vulnerability envelope (TNVE), constituted by the upper and lower bounds of network performance among all possible disruption scenarios, has recently been proposed as a systematic tool to characterize the impact of simultaneous disruptions of multiple links in a transportation network. Both pessimistic and optimistic cases and the possible range of disruption consequences can be revealed by the TNVE, which can be modeled as a unified optimization problem without the need to enumerate and evaluate all possible disruption scenarios. …”
