Delusions are deeply evidence-resistant. Patients with delusions unmoved by evidence that is in direct conflict the delusion, often responding to such offering obvious, and strange, confabulations. As a consequence, standard view not evidence-responsive. This claim has been used as key argumentative wedge debates on nature of delusions. Some have taken be beliefs argued this implies belief cons...

Hydrogels with three-dimensional network structure, hydrophilic, and insoluble in water which are ideal carrier materials for intelligent drug delivery systems. Intelligent hydrogel has become a research frontier hotspot because of its intelligence, high efficiency, safety, convenience controlled prolonged release. It broad application prospect the medicine biomedicine fields can lead into new ...

RALI developed the system NESS2 for the TAC 2009 summarization task, with the main goal of testing the hypothesis that performing sentence selection in 2 steps improves the quality of the created summaries. The first step selects a number of top sentences, while the second step selects the best combination of the top scored sentences. We use the same small number of linguistic criteria to perfo...

Generating answers to complex questions in the form of multi-document summaries requires access to question decomposition methods. In this paper we present three methods for decomposing complex questions and we evaluate their impact on the responsiveness of the answers they enable.

The emergence of logistics and supply chain management as a fully mature business discipline may depend on the development foundational perspectives embracing focus responsiveness. Hundreds papers in our field conceptualize responsiveness related concepts disconnected ways ignoring this potentially valuable foundation for investigating strategic logistical adjustments. Although these extant stu...

The author reviewed in this paper current microneurographic findings on the responses of muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) and skin sympathetic nerve activity (SSNA) to the environment in humans with special reference to vibration-induced white finger (VWF). 1) MSNA was enhanced by +Gz gravitational input, while being suppressed by simulated weightlessness through the baroreflex mechanis...

Peripheral vascular resistance in the ground squirrel (Spermophilus tridecemlineatus) increases when the animal enters hibernation. The goals of this study were to determine if a change in vascular reactivity contributes to this hemodynamic response, and to compare the effects of temperature on vascular responsiveness in a hibernator (ground squirrel) and a nonhibernating mammal (rat). Helicall...
