In engaging with acts of self-narration that cross species lines, creators of animal autobiographies also broach questions about genre, truth status, and the structure as well as the politics of narrative representation. To address these questions, the present article draws not just on scholarship on (animal) autobiography but also on ideas from the fields of linguistic semantics, politeness th...

apparent life-threatening event (alte) is a major cause of neonatal emergency visits. in this paper, we presented the case of a three-day-old neonate with multiple indications of alte. the patient was referred to the emergency department due to a cyanotic attack before admission. the neonate woke a few hours after breastfeeding and turned blue while crying, which was resolved spontaneously with...

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Ru(C(15)H(11)N(3))(2)](ClO(4))(2)·0.5H(2)O, contains one ruthenium-terpiridine complex cation, two perchlorate anions and one half-mol-ecule of water. Face-to-face and face-to-edge π-stacking inter-actions between terpyridine units [centroid-centroid distances = 3.793 (2) and 3.801 (2)  Å] stabilize the crystal lattice The partially occupied water mol...

In this paper an efficient face candidates selector is proposed for face detection tasks in still gray level images. The proposed method acts as a selective attentional mechanism. Eye-analogue segments at a given scale are discovered by finding regions which are roughly as large as real eyes and are darker than their neighborhoods. Then a pair of eye-analogue segments are hypothesized to be eye...

Previous work indicates that intranasal inhalation of oxytocin improves face recognition skills, raising the possibility that it may be used in security settings. However, it is unclear whether oxytocin directly acts upon the core face-processing system itself or indirectly improves face recognition via affective or social salience mechanisms. In a double-blind procedure, 60 participants receiv...

While the subject of cyberbullying of children and adolescents has begun to be addressed, less attention and research have focused on cyberbullying in the workplace. Male-dominated workplaces such as manufacturing settings are found to have an increased risk of workplace bullying, but the prevalence of cyberbullying in this sector is not known. This exploratory study investigated the prevalence...

The title compound, C15H9FO3, was obtained in a one-pot synthesis by Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling and nucleophilic substitution reaction of 4'-chloro-2',5'-di-fluoro-aceto-phenone with o-(meth-oxy-carbon-yl)phenyl-boronic acid. The asymmetric unit contains two crystallographically independent mol-ecules related by a non-crystallographic inversion centre. There are face-to-face stacking inter-a...

This paper presents automatic methods for the classiication of dialog acts. In the verbmobil application (speech-to-speech translation of face-to-face dialogs) maximally 50 % of the utterances are analyzed in depth and for the rest, shallow processing takes place. The dialog component keeps track of the dialog with this shallow processing. For the classiication of utterances without in depth pr...
