Expertise with print is likely to optimize visual processes for recognizing characters of a familiar writing system. Although brain activations have been identified for words and letter strings in contrast with other stimuli, relatively little work has focused on the neural basis of single-letter perception. English readers and Chinese-English bilinguals participated in an ERP study and perform...

Recent models in word recognition have assumed that a word activation device which is based upon phonemes is universal. The present study has attempted to investigate this proposal with Japanese school children without knowledge of Roman alphabet. The main question addressed in this study is to test whether Japanese school children without Roman alphabet could activate word candidates on the ba...

The Northamptonshire sites and monuments record currently contains 1573 records related to the Roman period, which constitutes 22.5% of the total. A large proportion of the undated cropmark sites are, however, also likely to be Roman and/or Iron Age in date and should be added to this total. In Northamptonshire this period is characterized by intensively occupied and large scale rural landscape...

N recent years a number of examples have been reported in which crosses Ibetween allelic mutants of Saccharomyces cerevisim (ROMAN 1956a; ROMAN and JACOB 1958) produce nonmutant progeny with a frequency which is higher than is expected from reverse mutation. Such revertants can be shown to result from an event which does not have the characteristics of crossing over. ROMAN and JACOB (1958) have...

The factors influencing attitudes of Taiwan Catholics regarding sexual ethics were investigated by a survey. The number of Roman Catholics in Taiwan was estimated at 230,000 by the Roman Catholic Church in 2009. Of this total, about half are aboriginal Taiwanese, scattered through seven dioceses. The survey was sent to 405 persons in these seven dioceses, based on a .0017 ratio of the Catholic ...

Management of multi-modal data is a classical problem in data mining and exploration. Geographic Information Systems usually store multi-modal data and employ them in spatial and image analysis. This paper proposes a fusion of multi-modal data in the context of line detection with Fuzzy Hough Transform (FHT). The goal of this work is to simulate the Roman streets according to periods from parti...

A Roman dominating function (RDF) on a graphG = (V,E) is a function f : V −→ {0, 1, 2} satisfying the condition that every vertex u for which f(u) = 0 is adjacent to at least one vertex v for which f(v) = 2. The weight of an RDF is the value f(V (G)) = ∑ u∈V (G) f(u). An RDF f in a graph G is independent if no two vertices assigned positive values are adjacent. The Roman domination number γR(G)...

[7-bit encoding, transliteration] We propose a general strategy for deriving 7-bit encodings for texts in languages which use an alphabetic non-Roman script, like Arabic, Persian, Sanskrit and many other Indic scripts, and for which there is some transliteration convention using Roman letters with additional diacritical marks. These schemes, which we will call \meta-transliterations", are based...

Machine transliteration refers to the process of automatic conversion of a word from one language to another without losing its phonological characteristics. In this work, we present our experiments performed in subtask-1 and subtask-2 as a part of the FIRE-2013 transliterated search task. In both the subtasks, the transliteration from Roman script to Devanagari script was performed using sylla...
