New Paradigm: • Prototype Priming, i.e. RTs are measured. Learn set: • Stimuli grouped with the target according to their similarity with the prototype. • Overall 1400 presentations of stimulus samples, i.e. 700 RTs. Test set: • New stimuli. • One half grouped analogously to learn set (Sti1), the other half inversely (Sti2). • 100 presentations overall, i.e. 2x25 RTs. Control group: • No groupi...

The objective of the current studies was to utilize prototype analysis to foster a better understanding of lay concepts of prayer. In four studies, we found evidence that concepts of prayer are indeed prototypically organized. In Study 1, participants listed features of prayer. In Study 2, participants reliably rated the centrality of these features. In Study 3, participants perceived behaviors...

The Mentor-lite prototype has been developed within the research project "Architecture, Configuration, and Administration of Large Workflow Management Systems" funded by the German Science Foundation (DFG). In this paper, we present the architecture of Mentor-lite and our approach towards customizability. The demo will show the feasibility of the presented approach.

Despite of being fully synonymous at the semantic level, the postpositions él ‘locative/directional’ and ektá ‘locative/directional’ in Lakota (Siouan, Central North America) display different semantic cores in discourse: the semantic prototype for él is the role of locative, while the semantic prototype for ektá is the role of directional. Both the functional synonymy between él and ektá and t...

Knowledge of the daily growth rate of pigs would enable the stockman to monitor their performance and health, and to predict and control their market weight and date. This paper describes and evaluates the performance of an automatic image collection and analysis system designed to record the weight-related areas of pigs under production conditions. The system successfully logged the growth rat...

To cut expenses and save time, enterprise crowdsourcing is more and more used to disseminate corporate tasks, which are traditionally performed by a small group of people, to an undefined large workforce within and beyond the boundaries of a company. However, harnessing the positive effects of crowdsourcing faces several challenges, such as the efficient and proper assignment of a crowdsourcing...

Introduction For many ESL learners, English prepositions pose a perennial problem, partly because the same lexical item -e.g., the word over -can have a variety of functions (as preposition, noun, adverb, adjective and particle (in verb+particle constructions)) and meanings, and partly because of its diversity in collocational properties. With no generalizations emerging, a common learning stra...

The Information Society and Education need to be combined in order to achieve successful active citizenship and economical development with a natural and mutual interdependency. Project eMapps.com game platform can be an example of crossconnected eLearning, mobile and life environment contribution to education. It can increase effectiveness of education both for educational needs in XXI Century...

Simultaneous interpretation allows people to communicate spontaneously across language boundaries, but such services are prohibitively expensive for the general public. This paper presents a fully automatic simultaneous interpretation system to address this problem. Though the development is still at an early stage, the system is capable of keeping up with the fastest of the TED speakers while ...
