Reflexive attraction in comprehension is selective

Many studies have shown that attraction effects are consistently found for linguistic dependencies like subject-verb agreement, e.g., The key to the cabinets are on the table. However, not all dependencies are equally susceptible to attraction. A parade case involves reflexive-antecedent dependencies, which rarely show attraction effects. The contrast between agreement and reflexives with respe...

Learning To Design Together

The paper presents experiments in learning in a multi-agent design system. Inductive techniques are used to construct models of other agents’ behaviors, by relating design requirements to design proposals. The models are used to anticipate future design proposals and reduce the amount of interaction needed to find solutions for parametric design problems.

An equilibrium model for predicting the efficacy of marine protected areas in coastal environments

Quantitative models of marine protected area (MPA) proposals can be used to compare outcomes given current biological knowledge. We used a model of a linear coastline, with 200 discrete cells each spanning 1.6 km of coast. This model is used to evaluate alternative proposals for marine protected area networks, predicting equilibrium changes in abundances and harvests while accounting for disper...

Critical appraisal of fundamental items in approved clinical trial research proposals in Mashhad University of Medical Sciences

Background: Writing, designing, and conducting a clinical trial research proposal has an important role in achieving valid and reliable findings. Thus, this study aimed at critically appraising fundamental information in approved clinical trial research proposals in Mashhad University of Medical Sciences (MUMS) from 2008 to 2014.    Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted o...
