With rapidly increasing community, a plethora of conferences related to Natural Language Processing and easy access to their proceedings make it essential to check the integrity and novelty of the new submissions. This study aims to investigate the trends of text reuse in the ACL submissions, if any. We carried a set of analyses on two spans of five years papers (the past and the present) of AC...

This research examined how and when people engage in upward self-revision to embrace new possible selves in response to social validation. First, the present study (n1⁄4 67) predicted and found that upward self-revision was more likely to occur when validations fully specify the meaning of the positive discrepancy between the desired self and the alternative self into the explicit prospect of t...

Because of the large number of tests for linkage that are performed in genome scans, the naive estimator of the size of a genetic effect in cases of borderline significance can be inflated and lead to unrealistic expectations for successful replication. As a remedy, this report proposes lower confidence limits that account for the multiple comparisons of the genome scan.

We study monotone simultaneous embeddings of upward planar digraphs, which are simultaneous embeddings where the drawing of each digraph is upward planar, and the directions of the upwardness of different graphs can differ. We first consider the special case where each digraph is a directed path. In contrast to the known result that any two directed paths admit a monotone simultaneous embedding...

We show that the gap in profit between a naturally defined upward instance of the tollbooth problem on a tree and the original instance can be at least Ω(log log n) where n is the number of edges in the tree.

ion, this results in an inherent asymmetry of upward vs. downward events. The properties of downward events described in the previous section do not hold for upward events; in fact the properties of upward events are essentially complementary to those of downward events: 1. Upward events need not be yielding. While the simple formulation of Handler in Section 2 does cause the lower level to yie...

After acute coronary occlusion in primates, the time period during which reperfusion results in significant salvage of reversibly injured myocardium was investigated. In 23 monkeys, the left anterior descending coronary artery was occluded from 1 to 6 h; and in 5 others, occlusion was maintained for the 1-wk study. Unipolar epicardial electrocardiograms were monitored from mapping points on the...

Two important principles governing upward social mobility are Pareto’s 80/20 rule and Schelling’s segregation threshold. Pareto shows that wealth follows a power law, where a few have the most. Schelling shows that neighborhood preference (beyond a certain threshold) leads to spatial segregation. The link between these two principles, however, remains undeveloped—particularly in relation to the...
