Like those famous nations divided by a single tongue, my paper (this volume) and Professor P.M. Churchland's deep and engaging reply offer different spins on a common heritage. The common heritage is, of course, a connectionist vision of the inner neural economya vision which depicts that economy in terms of supra-sentential state spaces, vector-to-vector transformations, and the kinds of skill...

conclusions maximal and supra-maximal races induce a significant increase in lipid peroxidation and cause non-negligible inflammation and muscle damage. these effects were relatively related to the physical exercise type and the sportive specialty. results a significant increase in malondialdehyde (mda) concentrations was observed in ss and mdr after the vameval test and in ldr after the limite...

É de senso comum que a gestão da mudança de requisitos exerce papel fundamental no processo de desenvolvimento de software, principalmente no que tange à qualidade. Para que se possa gerenciar a mudança de requisitos de forma efetiva e precisa, torna-se indispensável o uso de informações de rastreabilidade, que por sua vez, torna possível a realização da análise de impacto. Para que se possa ef...

In this paper an efficient segment selection method for corpusbased speech synthesis is presented. Traditional unit-selectors use dynamic programming (DP) to find in a fully connected segment network the most appropriate segment sequence based on targetand concatenation costs. Instead of performing a full DP search, the presented unit-selector applies fast transformations on binary valued segme...

Recent boundary spanning literature has recommended a shift toward assessing the role of virtual tools—such as social media. Simultaneously the proliferation of Enterprise Social Software (ESS) points to the need to theorize and investigate the supra-individual usage of these tools. This exploratory study responds to both mandates through a longitudinal, multi-method investigation of ESS’ effec...

Recent team boundary spanning literature has recommended a shift toward assessing the role of virtual tools – such as social media. Simultaneously the proliferation of Enterprise Social Media (ESM) points to the need to theorize and investigate the supra-individual usage of these tools, such as their usefulness for organizational groups. This paper responds to both mandates through a theoretica...

In contrast to symbolic models of language understanding, embodied models of language comprehension suggest that language is closely connected with visual and motor processing. In the current study we show that motion words, such as rise or fall, are processed faster if displayed against a background of compatible motion (e.g., upward vs. downward random dot motion with 60% motion coherence). H...

he Mainland Scandinavian languages, i.e. Danish, Norwegian and Swedish, are so closely related that the speakers often use their own language when communicating with each other (so-called semi-communication, Haugen 1966). However, communication is not perfect and sometimes fails. Previous investigations (Maurud 1976, Bø 1978, Börestam 1987, Delsing & Åkesson 2005) aimed at getting a general imp...

A database of non-native German productions was annotated by three different groups: by experts using detailed, localised labels as well as coarse, global labels, and by phoneticians and naı̈ve subjects, using the same coarse global labels. For the detailed annotation, segmental and supra-segmental labels were given segment-based and word-based. The global annotation consisted of a turn-based as...
