The implication-realisation model of melodic expectancy (Narmour, 1990) posits two independent cognitive systems: one which reflects the top-down influences of acquired stylistic knowledge; and another which consists of innate melodic schemata based on the Gestalt principles. While there exists empirical support for both aspects of the model, the results presented here question the need to invo...

This article is about twofold arithmetic [1, 2]. Here I introduce algorithms and experimental code for twofold variant of C/C++ standard functions exp() and log(), and expm1() and log1p(). Twofold function y0 + y1 ≈ f(x0 + x1) is nearly 2x-precise so can assess accuracy of standard one. Performance allows assessing on-fly: twofold texp() over double is ~10x times faster than expq() by GNU quadm...

Novice academic writers, particularly Iranian graduate students (IGSs), upon entering an academic community, are hypothesized to face probable difficulties in practicing rhetorical expectations set by the experienced (EXP) members, hence, not being able to write in a way acceptable to these professionals. To explore the probable rhetorical distance between them, this study investigated the empl...

Background/Aims: SM22 ! , transgelin, has been revealed to be specifically expressed in glomerular epithelial cells and interstitial cells, according to the nature of the renal injury. In this study, quantitative analyses of SM22 ! positivity were performed to investigate the pathological significance of its expression. Methods: Kidney samples of adriamycin nephropathy underwent immunohistochem...

in this paper, the exp-function method, with the aid of a symbolic computation system such as maple, is applied to the (2+1) -dimensional calogero bogoyavlanskii schiff equation. exact and explicit generalized solitary solutions are obtained in more general forms. the free parameters can be determined by initial or boundary conditions. the method is straightforward and concise, and its applicat...
