Difficulties in visual attention are often implicated in autism spectrum disorders (ASD) but it remains unclear which aspects of attention are affected. Here, we used a multiple object tracking (MOT) task to quantitatively characterize dynamic attentional function in children with ASD aged 5-12. While the ASD group performed significantly worse overall, the group difference did not increase wit...

RÉSUMÉ. Dans cet article, nous décrivons une nouvelle approche pour l’alignement texte-image des documents du moyen-âge. La méthode est dédiée à l’alignement au niveau mot, sans segmentation ni apprentissage. L’alignement mot à mot est basé sur une distance d’édition appliquée à des signatures extraites à la fois à partir des chaı̂nes de caractères Unicode et à partir des images. Les résultats s...

A Likert scale questionnaire was developed to assess motivation for postacute rehabilitation by traumatic brain injury patients. Items were designed to reflect head-injured individuals' statements about their attitudes toward head injury rehabilitation. Factors such as denial of illness, anger, compliance with treatment, and medical information seeking behavior were used to assess unfavorable a...

Introduction: Myositis ossificans traumatica (MOT) is known mostly in the orthopedic literature as non-neoplastic, heterotopic bone formation within muscle or fascia, presumably due to acute trauma or repeated injury. Myositis ossificans traumatica of the masseter muscle is uncommon disease producing limitation of opening of the jaws. Purpose: To present a case of MOT of the masseter muscle in ...

This paper addresses a number of issues concerning the integration of visual and physical constraints f o r the synthesis and execution of error-tolerant mot ion strategies. Object features and their projections onto the image plane of a supervisory camera are used t o define visual constraint surfaces. These visual constraint surfaces can be directly used t o enforce the following types of con...

The LS (Look and Say) derivative of a word is obtained by writing the number of consecutive equal letters when the word is spelled from left to right. For example, LS(1 1 2 3 3) = 2 1 1 2 2 3 (two 1, one 2, two 3). We start the study of the behaviour of binary words generated by morphisms under the LS operator, focusing in particular on the Fibonacci word. Résumé. La dérivée LS d’un mot est obt...
