Most naming treatments in aphasia either assume a phonological or semantic emphasis or a combination thereof. However, it is unclear whether semantic or phonological treatments recruit the same or different cortical areas in chronic aphasia. Employing three persons with aphasia, two of whom were non-fluent, the present study compared changes in neural recruitment associated with phonologic and ...

It is often assumed that a main function of gestures is to compensate for expressive difficulties. This predicts that gestures should mainly occur with disfluent speech. However, surprisingly little is known about the relationship between gestures and fluent vs. disfluent speech. This study investigates the putative compensatory role of gesture by examining competent speakers’ and language lear...

Fluent Parallel Performance on Multi-Core System Wang Junhong Objective This benchmark work studies the performance of the parallel Fluent solver on the new multiple core system. Fluent solver was parallelised using the MPI method for communication and message exchange among processor units. Result and Findings The benchmark testings were conducted on one thread, and two, four and up to eight t...

Although measuring intrinsic quality has been a key factor in the advancement of Machine Translation (MT), successfully deploying MT requires considering not just intrinsic quality but also the user experience, including aspects such as trust. This work introduces a method of studying how users modulate their trust in an MT system after seeing errorful (disfluent or inadequate) output amidst go...

Thermal jet flows are the type of flow frequently encountered in engineering applications. This article aims to determine if SST k-ω turbulence model, including Low-Reynold Correction, accurately estimates Nusselt number impinging flow; because this, computational results were compared with experimental studies. comparison was made on a line (r/D) from stagnation point exit. In this article, he...
