An important issue for communication processes in general, and for multimodal interaction in particular, is the information output arrangement and organization (multimodal fission). Considering information structure, intonation, and emphasis for the output by speech, considering moreover spatio-temporal coordination of pieces of information for visual (video, graphics, images, and texts) output...

This study addresses the lexical representation of French VN and Swedish NV-are agentive nominal compounds. The objective is to examine their semantic structure and output meaning. The analysis shows that, as a result of their semantic structure, the compounds group into some major output meanings. Most frequently, the N constituent corresponds to an Undergoer in the argument structure of the V...

Academic discourse has always been the focus of many linguists, especially those who have been involved with English for Academic Purposes (EAP) and discourse analysis. Persuasion, as part of rhetorical structure of academic writing, is partly achieved by employing modality markers.  Adopting a descriptive design, the present study was carried out to compare the use of modality markers in terms...

Software for a growing number of problem domains has complex, time varying behavior and unpredictable resource demands (e.g., WWW servers and parallel in-put/output systems). While current performance analysis tools provide insights into application dynamics and the causes of poor performance, with a posteri-ori analysis one cannot adapt to temporally varying application resource demands and sy...

OBJECTIVE To determine whether early-implanted, long-term cochlear implant (CI) users display delays in verbal short-term and working memory capacity when processes related to audibility and speech production are eliminated. DESIGN Twenty-three long-term CI users and 23 normal-hearing controls each completed forward and backward digit span tasks under testing conditions that differed in prese...

Deutsche Telekom Laboratories and T-Systems recently developed various multimodal prototype applications and modules allowing kinesthetic input, i.e. devices that can be moved around in order to alter the applications’ state. We developed first prototypes were using proprietary technologies and principles, whereas latest demonstrators more and more follow the W3C’s Multimodal Architecture. This...

background: low back pain (lbp) is the second most common medical complaint. it’s estimated that about 70-85% of the population will suffer at least one episode of lbp during their life. the aim of present study was to compare the effects of massage and modality in patient with sub-acute and chronic non-specific lbp methods: in this clinical trial study 30 women (meanage: 33.96±10.93) with sub-...

Visible-infrared cross-modality person re-identification is a challenging ReID task, which aims to retrieve and match the same identity's images between heterogeneous visible infrared modalities. Thus, core of this task bridge huge gap these two The existing convolutional neural network-based methods mainly face problem insufficient perception modalities' information, can not learn good discrim...
