This article explores the emergence of multimodality as intrinsic to the learning, teaching and assessment of English in the Twenty-First Century. With subject traditions tied to the study of language, literature and media, multimodal texts and new technologies are now accorded overdue recognition in English curriculum documents in several countries, though assessment tends to remain largely pr...

This article discusses the prospects and challenges of combining multimodality theory with distant viewing, a recent framework proposed in field digital humanities. advocates use computational methods to enable large-scale analysis visual multimodal materials, which must be nevertheless supported by theories that explain how these materials are structured. Multimodality is well-positioned suppo...

Interstitial cystitis is an increasingly common disease characterized by urgency, frequency, and pelvic pain. Its etiology is poorly understood but is likely to be multifactorial. A proposed pathophysiology describing a cascade of events, including epithelial dysfunction, mast cell activation, and neurogenic inflammation, is presented. Using this model, multimodality therapy regimens have been ...

Most people in the world speak more than one language, making bilingualism the norm rather than the exception. Furthermore, speakers generally also move their hands – they gesture – in coordination with speech and language in nontrivial ways. Bilingualism and multimodality should thus be on research agendas focused on the nature of linguistic systems and language use in context, yet they are of...

The current generation of mobile phones allows traditional interactions via menus and buttons, but offers a variety of new ways of interacting with the device via the built-in sensors. Multimodality through mobile phones are growing in importance and aims to create applications which are socially acceptable and enjoyable. We present multiple multimodal applications made for pedestrians and impa...

We present a Bayesian multimodality non-rigid image registration method. Since the likelihood is unknown in the general multimodality setting, we use a density estimator as a drop in replacement to the true likelihood. The prior is a standard small deformation penalty on the displacement field. Since mutual information-based methods are in widespread use for multimodality registration, we attem...

Intraoperative multimodality neurodiagnostic monitoring utilizing a transcranial Doppler, electroencephalography (EEG), and cerebral oximetry has been shown to reduce the incidence of neurological complications greatly. Potential problems affecting the brain can be detected and resolved or managed before disastrous consequences result. The use of multimodality neuromonitoring combined with trad...

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement is a major advance that has dramatically changed our approach to elderly patients with severe aortic stenosis. This advance has been made possible by innovative device and delivery improvements, coupled with rapid developments in multimodality imaging. Multimodality imaging draws from multiple imaging fields and is central to patient evaluation and treatme...
