Recent research has consistently shown that pseudowords created by transposing two letters are perceptually similar to their corresponding base words (e.g., jugde-judge). In the framework of the overlap model (Gomez, Ratcliff, & Perea, 2008), this effect is due to a noisy process in the localization of the "objects" (e.g., letters, kana syllables). In the present study, we examine whether this ...

Residual insertion sequence elements (IS elements) in Escherichia coli strains that are commonly used for DNA cloning are known to cause cloning artifacts by transposing themselves into the recombinant DNA fragments. In such cases, chance insertion of IS elements may occur at integration sites in the cloning targets, which in the case of the IS10 element is a 9-bp consensus sequence. We report ...

The ethically controversial figure of the “Other” is at heart traditionally antinomic system heroic Christian epic. An age-long myth, a cultural projection and an essential literary theme (Ceserani 1998), image “Stranger”, “Adversary”, or, in other words, “Other”, being frequently endowed with demonic connotations, found to be part parcel allegorical dichotomy good evil. tendency towards demoni...

A stopping criterion for fast Fourier transform (FFT)-based iterative schemes in computational homogenization is proposed and investigated numerically. This based on the separate evaluation comparison of discretization iteration errors computed fields. Some estimators these are their performances assessed a set 2D problems frameworks both classical FFT-based methods that use modified version fe...

In 2 ERP experiments participants read 4-word sequences presented for 200 ms (RPVP paradigm) and were required to decide whether the word grammatical or not. Experiment 1, sequence consisted of either a grammatically correct sentence (e.g., she can sing now) an ungrammatical scrambled now she). A reduced N400 effect was obtained in compared sequences. 2, critical comparison between types sequen...

From October 2013, European Union member states are obliged to adopt the new European rules allowing patients to search for health care abroad at the costs of the national authorities. The so-called cross-border care Directive (2011/24/EU) facilitates therefore patient mobility in the European Union (1). But only in case a certain treatment option is not (timely) available, or not equally effec...

Short duration tasks for text-independent speaker verification have received relatively little attention when compared to that directed at tasks involving many minutes of speech. In this paper we investigate verification performance on a range of durations from a few seconds to a few minutes. We begin with a state-of-the-art GMM-based system operating on a few minutes of speech per person and s...

1 Introduction Phonological representations are typically thought of as abstract: for example, phonemes are argued to be comprised of abstract subphonemic units of some sort, whether distinctive features (e.g., Chomsky & Halle 1968), articulatory gestures (e.g., Browman & Goldstein 1989), or acoustic-phonetic dimensions (e.g., Pierre-humbert 2000). There is direct evidence that people are sensi...

Uninorms as binary operations on the unit interval have been widely applied in the fuzzy set theory. This paper presents some 7 properties of uninorm-like operations for which the underlying operations are given by ordinal sums. If the underlying operations of a uninorm are given by ordinal sums, then the Cartesian product of the union of two arbitrary intervals (one in [0, e] and the other in ...

The citation impact of Environment and Planning B can be visualized using its citation relations with journals in its environment as the links of a network. The size of the nodes is varied in correspondence to the relative citation impact in this environment. Additionally, one can correct for the effect of within-journal “self”-citations. The network can be partitioned and clustered using algor...
