The original study by my colleagues Alan Leslie and Uta Frith and I found that some 80% of children with autism failed this test that most typical children of 4 years old could pass. It concluded that this could not be attributed to general developmental delay or l...

The thickness of a graph is the minimum number of planar subgraphs into which the graph can be decomposed. Determining the thickness of a given graph is known to be a NP-complete problem. This paper discusses the possibility of determining the thickness of a graph by a genetic algorithm. Our tests show that the genetic approach outperforms the earlier heuristic algorithms reported in the litera...

In this paper, I examine the text-setting in 43 Japanese Children’s songs, called “warabe uta”. By examining the text-tune alignment and the text-meter alignment, I show that accented positions and accentual tonal transitions are more important than the other positions and other tonal transitions in the text-setting in Japanese songs. This working paper is available in University of Pennsylvani...

Material and methods. A total of 320 pregnant women between 11 + 0 and 13 + 6 weeks of gestation were recruited for a case-control study. The study group consisted of 22 patients with early PE, 29 patients with late PE and 269 unaffected controls. The following parameters were recorded: maternal history, mean arterial pressure (MAP), mean uterine artery pulsatility index (UtA-PI), and the conce...

The early recognition of potentially harmful traffic situations is an important goal of vision based driver assistance systems. Pedestrians, in particular children, are highly endangered in inner city traffic. Within the DaimlerChrysler UTA (Urban Traffic Assistance) project, we are using stereo vision and motion analysis in order to manage those situations. The flow/depth constraint combines b...
