This paper presents work on document retrieval based on participation in the Cross-Language Evaluation Forum (CLEF) 2001 task of non-English monolingual retrieval task using French only. In summary, the experiment findings indicate that Okapi, the text retrieval system in use, can successfully be used for non-English text retrieval although a lot of internal pre-processing is required in the ba...

We discuss the effects of particle-vibration coupling on the shell structure of nuclei near the neutron drip line by choosing, as examples, 10Be and 24O cores. In particular, we calculate the energy shifts of single-particle neutron states induced by the interaction with collective modes. In the case of the 10Be core, the coupling to 2+ states is responsible, within our model, of narrowing the ...

In this work we use a previously published approach for script line identification of handwritten whiteboard notes in order to perform skew correction and size normalization of the script trajectory. Arbitrary assignments of sample points to certain script lines are hypothesized and described in a trellis. The normalization is performed by equalizing the script lines and warping the script traj...

The characteristic features of adolescents' sexual scripts were explored in 400 tenth and eleventh graders from Berlin, Germany. Participants rated the prototypical elements of three scripts for heterosexual interactions: (1) the prototypical script for the first consensual sexual intercourse with a new partner as pertaining to adolescents in general (general script); (2) the prototypical scrip...

Research indicates a distinction between the processing of script content (which events, behaviors, scenes… are part of it) and script chronology (what is their usual order of occurrence). Using sequences of two line drawings depicting everyday social script events, we examined the event related potential (ERP) correlates of script chronology violations (i.e., wrong order). An increased left an...

The present study examined the organization of complex familiar activities, known as "scripts" (e.g., "going fishing"). We assessed whether events in a script are processed in a linear-sequential manner or clustered-hierarchical manner, and we evaluated the neural basis for this processing capacity. Converging evidence was obtained from functional neuroimaging in healthy young adults and from b...

Which Romans do "as Romans do"? Individual differences in conformity to cultural conflict resolution scripts Abstract The current research investigates the proposal that cross-cultural differences in conflict resolution choices are driven by culturally conferred cognitive scripts—expectancies about appropriate actions in a setting and outcomes they will evoke. Cognitive styles such as Need for ...
