In recent years, artificial language learning experiments have revealed a rich and complex picture of the abilities of different species and different human age groups to discover simple patterns in sequences. In one influential study, Aslin et al. (1998) show that human infants use transitional probabilities (TP's), and not just co-occurrence frequencies, between adjacent syllables in a monoto...

Effective control and operation of handling equipment in port container terminals are crucial in enhancing the overall efficiency and performance of container handling in import, export and transshipment. Nowadays, more and more container terminals are deploying automated handling equipment to improve the overall productivity. As the equipment is often unmanned and automatically controlled, it ...

A linear transformation on a finite-dimensional complex linear space has the property that all of its invariant subspaces are hyperinvariant if and only if its lattice of invariant subspaces is distributive [1]. It is shown that an operator on a complex Hilbert space has this property if its lattice of invariant subspaces satisfies a certain distributivity condition. 1. Preliminaries. Throughou...
