Sequences of notes contain several different types of pitch cues, including both absolute and relative pitch information. What factors determine which of these cues are used when learning about tone sequences? Previous research suggests that infants tend to preferentially process absolute pitch patterns in continuous tone sequences, while other types of input elicit relative pitch use by infant...

Hypercube algorithms are developed for a variety of communication-intensive tasks such as transposing a matrix, histogramming, one node sending a (long) message to another, broadcasting a message from one node to all others, each node broadcasting a message to all others, and nodes exchanging messages via a xed permutation. The algorithm for exchanging via a xed permutation can be viewed as a d...

Thumb polydactyly is reported to be the most common congenital anomaly of the hand in Japan. The floating type is not particularly rare, accounting for 0.9 to 15% of all cases of thumb polydactyly. However, to the best of our knowledge, there has been only one case of thumb polydactyly with a floating ulnar thumb, reported by Onizuka. Herein, we report a case very similar to that reported by On...

This article presents the new Italian database of physical agents, which is available at http://www.portaleagentifisici.it. It supports in risk assessment employers who have to comply with Italy's Legislative Decree 81/2008 (transposing into law European Union Directives 2003/10/EC, 2002/44/EC, 2004/40/EC and 2006/25/EC). The database currently contains measurements and declared European Commun...

. ----------------------------------------ABSTRACT----------------------------------------This report describes an adult male cadaver with dextrocardia and situs solitus in a Nigerian cadaver. The photographic illustrations revealed a flattened heart that was flipped to the right thus, transposing the great vessels. The report showed that dextrocardia exists amongst Nigerians and possibly Afric...

The expression of the gene for variant surface glycoprotein (VSG) 118 in Trypanosoma brucei is activated by transposing a DNA segment containing the gene and 1-2 kb in front of it to an expression site elsewhere in the genome. By S1 nuclease protection and RNA blotting experiments we show here the presence of several minor transcripts in trypanosomes synthesizing VSG 118, one of which covers th...

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 ...

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...
