When listening to spoken language, bilinguals access words in both of their languages at the same time; this co-activation is often driven by phonological input mapping to candidates in multiple languages during online comprehension. Here, we examined whether cross-linguistic activation could occur covertly when the input does not overtly cue words in the non-target language. When asked in Engl...

Truck and shovel are the most common raw material transportation system used in the cement quarry operations. One of the major challenges associated with the cement quarry operations is the efficient allocation of truck and shovel to the mining faces. In order to minimize the truck and shovel operating cost, subject to quantity and quality constraints, the mixed integer linear programing (MILP)...

In English, many words can be used flexibly to label artifacts, as nouns, or functional uses of those artifacts, as verbs: We can shovel snow with a shovel and comb our hair with a comb. Here, we examine whether young children form generalizations about flexibility from early in life and use such generalizations to predict new word meanings. When children learn a new word for an artifact, do th...

For the peanut combine harvester excavation process resistance, poor soil crushing effect and reliability of problem, shovel optimization needs improvement. Firstly, a mechanical model resistance was established to investigate key factors affecting degree shovel. Next, design main parameters done determine range values EDEM software used simulate analyse explore influence law on resistance. Imp...

There is a strong push within the mining sector to automate equipment such as large excavators. A challenging problem is the control of motion on high inertia degrees of freedom where the actuators are constrained in the power they can deliver to and extract from the system and the machine’s underlying control system sits between the automation system and the actuators. The swing motion of an e...

A patient with multiple anomalies of the maxillary teeth, including shovel-shaped incisors, talon cusp, bilateral dens invaginatus and bilateral peg-shaped supernumerary incisors is reported. The patient also exhibited Carabelli's cusp on both maxillary first molars. No developmental syndrome was identified. This very unusual combination of anomalies has not been reported previously.

Background: During a carving turn, vibrations are induced at the heel of snowboard through edge friction when slips sideways and subsequently travel along board to shovel, which vibrates affects control. The purpose this study was find method for assessing grip with laser vibrometer. Method: Two boards, loaded tilted four different angles, were placed on soft surface, shaker connected hindmost ...

C.G. Turner II made dental morphological observations on thousands of Eskimo-Aleuts and American Indians and concluded they were derived from ancestral populations in northeast Asia during the last stages of the Pleistocene. He further distinguished two dental patterns in Asia. In East Asia, populations exhibit Sinodonty, a specialized dentition with intensified trait expressions. Southeast Asi...

The purpose of this paper was to describe the conservative treatment adopted in one nonsyndromic patient presenting with shovel-shaped upper incisors and dens invaginatus. A 13-yearold female patient sought treatment reporting pain in response to cold stimuli in the upper anterior teeth. Four upper incisors with shovel-shaped anatomical alterations in the palatal side of the crown were detected...
