Despite the central role of learning in visual recognition, it is largely unknown whether visual form learning is maintained in older age. We examined whether training improved performance in both young and older adults at two key stages of visual recognition: integration of local elements and global form discrimination. We used a shape-discrimination task (concentric vs. radial patterns) in wh...

This paper presents a way in which a lexicalised HPSG grammar can handle word order constraints in a computational parsing system, without invoking an additional layer of representation for word order, such as Reape’s Word Order Domain. The key proposal is to incorporate into lexical heads the WOC (Word Order Constraints) feature, which is used to constrain the word order of its projection. We ...

Thirty-seven infertile patients with varicocele were treated with Guizhi-Fuling-Wan (7.5 g/day) for at least 3 months. Before and after the administration, semen qualities such as sperm concentration and motility were examined, and the varicocele was graded. A varicocele disappearance rate of 80% was obtained with 40 out of 50 varicocele, and improvement of sperm concentration and motility were...

The paper addresses the issue of TCP-friendly congestion control mechanism for many-to-many communication environment. Lack of congestion control inhibits deployment of WAN applications that involve collaboration of groups of processes in the Internet environment. Recent efforts targeted unicast WAN congestion control (TFRC). We extend that approach to multicast many-tomany applications that op...
