Eye movements were monitored as participants followed spoken instructions to manipulate one of four objects pictured on a computer screen. Target words occurred in utterance-medial (e.g., Put the cap next to the square) or utterance-Wnal position (e.g., Now click on the cap). Displays consisted of the target picture (e.g., a cap), a monosyllabic competitor picture (e.g., a cat), a polysyllabic ...

We present a sorting algorithm that works in-place, executes in parallel, is cache-optimal, avoids branch-mispredictions, and performs work O(n logn) for arbitrary inputs with high probability. We ran extensive experiments and show that our algorithm scales linearly in the number of cores on various multi-socket machines with 32 cores. On large inputs, we outperform our closest inplace competit...

Controlled transport of macromolecules between the cytoplasm and nucleus is essential for homeostatic regulation of cellular functions. For instance, gene expression entails coordinated nuclear import of transcriptional regulators to activate transcription and nuclear export of the resulting messenger RNAs for cytoplasmic translation. Here we link these two processes by reporting a novel role f...

Aldosterone receptors from rat kidney slices were utilized in a competitive binding technique to analyze the contribution of various steroids to plasma "mineralocorticoid" activity and to assess their possible role in hypertension. To consider simultaneously the plasma binding, steroids were incubated with slices in undiluted plasma; competitor activities for [3H]aldosterone binding were aldost...

in view of the importance of the meat imports and the exports of meat in iran, this study focuses on the status of the global market of meat imports the unit price test in these markets between the years 1961 and 2011 using the market cointegration approach. the results of this study are indicative of prices co-integration in the international market of meat as well as among such major importer...

Competitor identification tries to find competitors of some entity in a given field, which is the key to the success of market intelligence. Manually collecting competitors is labor-intensive and time consuming. So automatic approaches are proposed for this purpose. However, these approaches suffer from the following two main challenges. Competitor information might not only be contained in sem...
