Four experiments replicated Asch's findings in 1969 that perceiving two terms in a unitary relationship facilitates their association. In Exp. I and II, pronouncing a CV-C pair as a monosyllable produced high associative recall of the terminal C to the CV cue, while pronouncing the CV-C as two separate terms caused relatively low associative recall. The result held for both intentional and inci...

Parallel programming is hard. We present a new approach called Concurrent Collections (CnC). This paper briefly explains why writing a parallel program is hard in the current environment and introduces our new approach based on this perspective. In particular, a CnC program doesn’t explicitly express the parallelism. It expresses the constraints on parallelism. These constraints remain valid re...

Introduction: Cadmium is recognized worldwide as a toxic metal. In this study, Solvent-Assisted Dispersive Solid Phase Extraction (SA-DSPE) combined with Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (FAAS), was used for determination of trace amounts of Cadmium (Cd-II)) in drinking water samples. Correspondence: Omid Rahmanian, PhD. ...

67 team design a total solution starting with the externals of a product—everything the user sees and touches—and then gather user input via UCD user feedback methods that attempt to understand users, evaluate design, and assess competitiveness. This article outlines the approach with particular emphasis on organizational transformation, process integration , and UCD method optimization. Origin...

Construal Level Theory (CLT; Trope & Liberman, 2003) proposes that pro-arguments (pros) constitute high-level construals and counter-arguments (cons) low-level construals. Therefore, pros are more salient for distant-future actions than are cons and the reverse holds for near-future actions (Eyal, Liberman, Trope, & Walther, 2004). We further predicted and results from one experiment show that ...

Two studies examined the relationships between self-rated and objectively measured creative ability and ease of perceiving alternative interpretations of the ambiguous Duck-Rabbit figure. The studies found empirical support for what has previously been a largely analogical connection between figural reversal and creativity, using both self-rated trait creativity and objectively scored creative ...
