Hemispatial Neglect Shows That “Before” Is “Left”

Recent research has led to the hypothesis that events which unfold in time might be spatially represented in a left-to-right fashion, resembling writing direction. Here we studied fourteen right-hemisphere damaged patients, with or without neglect, a disorder of spatial awareness affecting contralesional (here left) space processing and representation. We reasoned that if the processing of time...

Left Kan Extensions Over !-Cat

An existing procedure to compute left Kan extensions over the ground category Set also computes left Kan extensions over the ground categories Cat, 2-Cat, n-Cat for any n and indeed !-Cat. Therefore extension data struc-tured in this manner already can make use of the left Kan extension notion of a best possible approximation. Examples include systems of labeled transition systems and certain h...

The left (right) distributivity of semi-t-operators over 2-uninorms

Recently the distributive equations involving various classes of aggregation operators have aroused widespread attention because of their importance in the theoretic and applied communities of fuzzy set theory. 2-uninorms and semi-t-operators are two special classes of aggregation operators and have been proved to be useful in many areas such as fuzzy decision making, approximate reasoning and ...

Left ventricular function before and following aortic valve replacement.

Twenty-four patients with aortic valve disease were studied before and 19+/-12 months following valve replacement with a well functioning prosthesis. Biplane left ventricular angiography and pressures were utilized to determine end-diastolic volume/m2 (EDV), end-systolic volume/m2 (ESV), ejection fraction (EF), left ventricular mass/m2 (LVM) and stroke work (SW). There were nine patients with a...
