The Bamboo Union — a self-described business association and allegedly Taiwan’s largest crime group — made headlines with the event at the Taipei Marriot, which featured a red-carpet entrance lined by 170 female greeters as a parade of luxury vehicles arrived. BLOCKADE: The head of the US Pacific Air Forces said he learned this lesson from the Chinese military’s action after Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan last year If war broke out over the Taiwan Strait, the primary task of the US military would be to sink Chinese ships to prevent a Chinese blockade, US Pacific Air Forces (PACAF) Commander Kenneth Wilsbach said on Wednesday. Speaking to reporters at the Air and Space Forces Association Warfare Symposium in Aurora, Colorado, Wilsbach said he arrived at this conclusion following Beijing’s reaction to the visit of then-US House of Representatives speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan in August last year. Taiwan is hosting Pool A — which also includes Cuba, Italy, the Netherlands and Panama — of the long-awaited fifth WBC competition, delayed from 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Japan and the US are the other two host nations, with two teams from each of the four pools advancing to the quarter-finals, which start on March 15. Personnel entering the facility are restricted, as it is part of key infrastructure that must be protected for national security reasons.

Longitudinal changes in neurophysiological functional connectivity ... (News-Medical.net)

A recent study evaluates the neural correlates of successful recognition of visual stimuli to investigate functional connectivity changes in autism.

Decreased theta-band connectivity was found in ASD children as compared to TD controls during the higher memory load (2-back) condition. Decreased theta connectivity in ASD children and adolescents may be attributed to the use of a compensatory network to perform a similar task. Functional connectivity changes between the two groups were analyzed, and no significant changes were found in the ASD group. This indicates the continual development of working memory mechanisms in TD children throughout middle childhood, which was not prominent in children and adolescents with ASD. This result was found in the higher memory load condition (2-back) throughout the study period. Working memory ability was estimated using two sub-tests of the Working Memory Test Battery for Children (WMTB-C). Parents were asked to complete questionnaires that helped assess the functional abilities and social impairment status of the participants. Another MEG study showed decreased alpha-band (8-14 Hz) connectivity in the frontotemporal network in ASD children as compared to healthy children. Finally, a total of 64 datasets from 17 ASD and 15 age- and sex-matched TD controls were assessed. A total of sixty-three children and adolescents were recruited for the current neuroimaging study between 2011 and 2013. These regions are associated with the maintenance and retrieval of information. Limited studies have performed developmental neuroimaging and its association with working memory functions in ASD.

Telcos oppose using unlicensed spectrum for deploying advance ... (Economic Times)

The telcos stand comes in the backdrop of the power ministry allowing use of RF mesh technologies or wireless technologies for implementation of AMI in ...

This can lead to a scenario where large-scale AMI, in various sectors, is deployed mostly using this RF Mesh and unlicensed spectrum band (865-868 MHz). Apart from that, telcos pay license fees and spectrum charges etc to the government. The telcos believe deploying large scale AMI with unlicensed spectrum can seriously compromise the security of the critical infrastructure apart from leading to a huge revenue loss to the government. Further, carriers highlighted that using unlicensed spectrum for service provisioning will not be subjected to any license fee, spectrum usage charges and other regulatory levies. “Lack of security checks and balances for unlicensed spectrum can make AMI vulnerable. [telecom companies](/topic/telecom-companies)under their license and over the licensed spectrum.
