I argue that current flaws in the methodology of contemporary cognitive science, especially neuroscience, have adversely affected philosophical theorizing about the nature of representation. To highlight these flaws, I introduce a distinction between adopting the animal’s perspective and the observer’s perspective when characterizing representation. I provide a discussion of each and show how t...

Most work on automatic generation of narratives, and more specifically suspenseful narrative, has focused on detailed domain-specific modelling of character psychology and plot structure. Recent work on the automatic learning of narrative schemas suggests an alternative approach that exploits such schemas for modelling and measuring suspense. We propose a domain-independent model for tracking s...

Extraction process was optimized by single factor and orthogonal experiment (L9 (3 4 )). Moreover, the content determination was studied in methodology. The optimum ultrasonic extraction conditions were: ethanol concentration of 75%, ultrasonic power of 420 w, the solid-liquid ratio of 1:15, extraction duration of 45 min, extraction temperature of 90°C and extraction for 2 times. Saponins conte...

We present in this paper a formal approach for the dynamic generation of cooperative NL responses in WEBCOOP, a system that provides intelligent responses in French to natural language queries on the Web. The system integrates reasoning procedures and NLG techniques paired with hypertext links. Content determination is organized in two steps: providing explanations that report user misconceptio...

The mechanism(s) of intracellular sterol trafficking among subcellular organelle membranes is not well understood. Relative contributions of vesicular, sterol carrier protein, and membrane sterol domain pathways are not resolved. A sterol kinetic assay was used to resolve multiple sterol domains in microsome (MICRO), mitochondria (MITO), and plasma (PM) membrane: exchangeable, 20-40% of total; ...

The notable growth in the use of avocado oil nutritional and cosmetic field was main objective to valorize production important varieties avocados existing Morocco by analyzing its chemical composition fatty acids, sterols, tocopherols physico-chemical properties. Oleic acid is oil; they constitute between 50 65% total acids. study unsaponifiable fraction revealed that contains 3259.9–5378.8 mg...

Secondary organic aerosol particles (SOA) formed from the oxidation of monoterpenes can impact the Earth’s radiation balance, act as cloud condensation nuclei and negatively affect human health. In the initial Visiting Faculty Program application, we proposed the use of an ultraviolet-visible spectrometer equipped with a liquid waveguide capillary flow cell to determine the extent to which SOA ...

Visual determination of MIC end points for azole antifungal agents can be complicated by the trailing growth phenomenon. To determine the incidence of trailing growth, we performed testing of in vitro susceptibility to fluconazole and itraconazole using the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards broth microdilution M27-A reference procedure and 944 bloodstream isolates of seven Ca...

Camellia oleifera is a major woody oilseed species in China, but it typically cultivated nutrient-poor soils and may be affected by various trace elements. This study examined how spraying selenium, boron, zinc elements the traits functional active compounds of C. under nutrient deficiency. The results revealed significant variations effects different element combinations on oleifera. Optimal c...
