ScanLag is a high-throughput method for measuring the delay in growth, namely lag time, as well as the growth rate of colonies for thousands of cells in parallel. Screening using ScanLag enables the discrimination between long lag-time and slow growth at the level of a single variant.

Lagging Strand Synthesis

2023
During replication, the complementary strands in double-stranded DNA are synthesized at different rates. Replication first begins on the leading strand. Replication starts later, occurs more slowly, and proceeds discontinuously on the lagging strand. There are several major differences between synthesis of the leading strand and synthesis of the lagging strand. 1) Leading strand synthesis happens in the direction of replication fork opening, whereas lagging strand synthesis happens in the...

Spare Receptors

Some receptors remain unoccupied even when an agonist produces a maximal response. Such empty ones are called spare receptors. In presence of spare receptors the maximum effect of an agonist drug is achieved with fewer than 100% of the receptors being occupied. To determine the presence of spare receptors, scientists often compare the concentration of the drug needed to produce 50% of the maximum effect (EC50) with the concentration of the drug needed to occupy 50% of the receptors (Kd). If the...

Phase-lead and Phase-lag Controllers

Understanding the working function of different types of controllers can be illustrated with practical analogies, such as adjusting a stereo's volume equalizer. Cranking up the bass involves a phase-lead controller, which functions as a high-pass filter, while increasing the treble uses a phase-lag controller, which acts as a low-pass filter. PD controllers, similar to high-pass filters, enhance the system's response to high-frequency components. PI controllers, akin to low-pass filters, manage...
FAQs
The difference reflects how the attentional system handles information arriving in close succession. When the second target follows immediately, it can be consolidated with the first target before processing resources are fully occupied. At longer intervals, that combined opportunity is reduced, making the second target more vulnerable to the temporary deficit associated with the attentional blink.
The first target initiates limited-capacity attentional and working-memory processes that influence how the next item is handled. Rather than automatically preventing the second target from being processed, this engagement can allow an immediately following target to enter a shared consolidation process. The timing of that interaction determines whether the second target benefits or is missed.
Its timing pattern shows that successful conscious report depends not only on whether a visual item is present, but also on when it arrives relative to another target. Accurate reporting at lag 1, followed by poorer performance at later lags, gives psychologists a way to examine how temporal selection and visual short-term memory interact during rapid perception.
Researchers present a first visual target followed by a second target at different temporal lags, then assess how accurately participants identify the second target. Comparing immediate succession with longer separations reveals whether performance shows the characteristic sparing pattern or a later processing deficit. This procedure links timing differences to attentional and memory-related outcomes.
Second-target identification accuracy provides an observable measure of how effectively attention selects and retains rapidly presented information. Higher accuracy when the targets occur together, contrasted with missed targets at later lags, helps researchers evaluate explanations based on limited processing capacity, consolidation, and visual short-term memory rather than relying only on subjective reports.
The effect gives psychologists a focused way to study the timing of visual cognition. It connects the attentional blink paradigm with questions about temporal selection, working-memory processing, and the conditions supporting conscious report. By examining when a second target is accurately identified, researchers can refine models of how the mind handles streams of rapidly presented information.
