• Instructions to approach or avoid fictitious social groups cause changes in implicit evaluations. • These changes are not fully mediated by changes in explicit evaluations. • These changes occur even in the absence of changes in explicit evaluations. • These changes occur even if highly diagnostic incompatible valence information is provided. • These findings constrain current and future mode...

While a significant amount of research has been devoted to textual entailment, automated entailment from conversational scripts has received less attention. To address this limitation, this paper investigates the problem of conversation entailment: automated inference of hypotheses from conversation scripts. We examine two levels of semantic representations: a basic representation based on synt...

The paper is concerned with stabilization of a scalar delay differention equation ẋ(t)− m ∑ k=1 Ak(t)x[hk(t)] = 0, t ≥ 0, x(ξ) = φ(ξ), ξ < 0, by introducing impulses in certain moments of time x(τj) = Bjx(τj − 0), j = 1, 2, . . . . Explicit stability results are presented both for the equation with positive coefficients and for the equation with Ak being of arbitrary sign. Supported by Israel M...

The aim of this research was to study the relationship between explicit memory and hippocampal volume. Seventy healthy adults were administered one implicit memory test and one explicit memory (EM) test and underwent magnetic resonance imaging. The major finding was a negative correlation between the EM test and the right hippocampus/brain volume ratio (t = -0.25, P = 0.03) and the left hippoca...

A detailed analysis of the condition of regularity as stated in [1] for the validity of the theorem on £-capacity of decomposable channel is given, and some of its modifications are considered. One of the purposes of this paper is also to show how the regularity condition of [1] may be weakened. Some facts used in Part I of [1] without explicit proofs are established in Lemmas I and II.

It is shown that the Dirac sea can be uniquely defined for the Dirac equation with general interaction, if we impose a causality condition on the Dirac sea. We derive an explicit formula for the Dirac sea in terms of a power series in the bosonic potentials. The construction is extended to systems of Dirac seas. If the system contains chiral fermions, the causality condition yields a restrictio...

Two stage stochastic programs with random right hand side are considered Optimal values and solution sets are regarded as mappings of the expected re course functions and their perturbations respectively Conditions are identi ed implying that these mappings are directionally di erentiable and semidi eren tiable on appropriate functional spaces Explicit formulas for the derivatives are derived S...

We solve the problem of robust stabilization with respect to rightcoprime factor perturbations for irrational discrete-time transfer functions. The key condition is that the associated dynamical system and its dual should satisfy a finite-cost condition so that two optimal cost operators exist. We obtain explicit state space formulas for a robustly stabilizing controller in terms of these optim...

We study the new boundary condition of the O(n) model proposed by Jacobsen and Saleur using the matrix model. The spectrum of boundary operators and their conformal weights are obtained by solving the loop equations. Using the diagrammatic expansion of the matrix model as well as the loop equations, we make an explicit correspondence between the new boundary condition of the O(n) model and the ...

Two-stage stochastic programs with random right-hand side are considered. Optimal values and solution sets are regarded as mappings of the expected recourse functions and their perturbations, respectively. Conditions are identiied implying that these mappings are directionally diierentiable and semidiierentiable on appropriate functional spaces. Explicit formulas for the derivatives are derived...
