In everyday life it is often important to have a mental model of the knowledge, beliefs, desires, and intentions of other people. Sometimes it is even useful to to have a correct model of their model of our own mental states: a second-order Theory of Mind. In order to investigate to what extent adults use and acquire complex skills and strategies in the domains of Theory of Mind and the related...

Intercalated degrees are commonly undertaken as part of the medical undergraduate course. In this article, we discuss the advantages and disadvantages of intercalation, along with alternatives that could be considered.

Summarized sports simulation systems based virtual reality. The function include construction of virtual training scenarios, sports data capture, physiological and psychological data acquisition, action reproduce and training effectiveness icon analysis. The key technologies include physical and physiological modeling, virtual human animation, motion capture and real-time rendering and interact...

This paper first proposes a novel image separation method based on the hyperanalytic shearlet. By combining the advantages of both the hyperanalytic wavelet transform and the shear operation, hyperanalytic shearlet is easy to implement and also has a low redundancy. By using such transform and the orthonormal wavelet, a new geometric separation dictionary is obtained which can sparsely represen...

Predicting disease outcome is a major challenge in modern medicine. Concerning the prediction of HPV-associated cervical disease, several important issues are related both to the management of women with diagnosed cervical precancer and cancer. The detailed molecular mechanisms explaining the different oncogenic potential of the LR-HPVand HR-HPV have emerged only recently. Oncogenic HPVs are ca...

This paper deals with taxonomy alignment. It presents structural techniques of an alignment method suitable with a dissymmetry in the structure of the mapped taxonomies. The aim is to allow a uniform access to documents belonging to a same application domain, assuming retrieval of documents is supported by taxonomies.

Language-based security is a mechanism for analysis and rewriting applications toward guaranteeing security policies. By use of such mechanism issues like access control by employing a computing base would run correctly. Most of security problems in software applications were previously handled by this component due to low space of operating system kernel and complicacy. These days this task by...

Quantum error correction requires encoding quantum information into a quantum error correction code and measuring error syndromes to detect and identify possible errors. Quantum fault tolerance typically assumes that syndrome measurements are applied after every logical gate at great expense both in time and number of qubits. Here we demonstrate that not only is this not necessary, but that we ...
