Medication non-adherence is a major public health problem that has been termed an 'invisible epidemic.' Non-adherence is not only associated with negative clinical consequences but can also result in substantial healthcare costs. Up to now, effective adherence interventions are scarce and a more comprehensive model of adherence determinants is required to target the determinants for not taking ...

In this paper, we present an approach for recognizing spatial containment relations that hold between event mentions. Event mentions refer to real-world events that have spatio-temporal properties. While the temporal aspect of event relations has been well-studied, the spatial aspect has received relatively little attention. The difficulty in this task is the highly implicit nature of event loc...

This study aims to examine the factors that influence the use of labels when making similarity decisions. We predict that a person‘s visual working memory (VWM) ability and implicit beliefs can predict the frequency in which a subject will rely on labels when making similarity decisions. To test this hypothesis, participants completed a VWM task along with a questionnaire to study how they rela...

Considerable research has attempted to elucidate the relation between implicit and explicit forms of memory. This talk focuses on the specificity of implicit and explicit memory: the extent to which, and sense in which, memory performance reflects retention of specific features of a stimulus that was perceived during a study episode, the formation of a specific association between two previousl...

The implicit function theorem is used to obtain some necessary and sufficient conditions, for which an implicit constitutive relation can be solved in terms of the stresses and strains, in the sense of expressing, for example, the strains in terms of the stresses or vice versa. For an isotropic body some exact solutions for the strains in term of the stresses are presented, using the theory of ...

We consider the development of implicit-explicit time integration schemes for optimal control problems governed by the Goldstein–Taylor model. In the diffusive scaling this model is a hyperbolic approximation to the heat equation. We investigate the relation of time integration schemes and the formal Chapman-Enskog type limiting procedure. For the class of stiffly accurate implicit–explicit Run...

A large body of research shows that familiarity between speakers makes their use of referring expressions more effective. This paper presents two studies that suggest that it’s also the other way around, i.e. effective referring, in this case implicit referring, suggests a relation between the speakers. Further, a third study, based on naturalistic observations of both work and private conversa...

In this paper, we prove a general common fixed point theorem for two pairs of weakly compatible self-mappings of a metric space satisfying a weak Meir-Keeler type contractive condition by using a class of implicit relations. In particular, our result generalizes and improves a result of K. Jha, R.P. Pant, S.L. Singh, by removing the assumption of continuity, relaxing compatibility to weakly com...
