Brain imaging studies examining the component processes of reading using words, non-words, and letter strings frequently report task-related activity in the left extrastriate cortex. Processing of these linguistic materials involves varying degrees of semantic, phonological, and orthographic analysis that are sensitive to individual differences in reading skill and history. In contrast, single ...

We study the class of quasi-alphabetic relations, i.e., tree transformations de ned by tree bimorphisms (';L; ) with '; quasi-alphabetic tree homomorphisms and L a regular tree language. We present a canonical representation of these relations; as an immediate consequence, we get the closure under union. Also, we show that they are not closed under intersection and complement, and do not preser...

Abstract: In this paper, we discuss the similarity between two trajectories using Needleman Wunsch algorithm. The calculation steps are interpolating trajectory, calculating distance trajectory coordinates, identifying equivalent length, transforming into a sequence of alphabetic letters, aligning sequences, and measuring magnitude based on alignment results. obtained is compared directly to le...

The Common Cockpit program for the Navy’s new helicopters specifies a single cockpit interface for diverse helicopters. This single interface supports different helicopters through the use of programmable keysets. One significant difference between two particular keysets, as currently implemented in the MH-60S (Sierra) and MH-60R (Romeo), is the manner of alphanumeric data entry. The Sierra off...

Genes and human languages are discrete combinatorial systems (DCSs), in which the basic building blocks are finite sets of elementary units: nucleotides or codons in a DNA sequence, and letters or words in a language. Different combinations of these finite units give rise to potentially infinite numbers of genes or sentences. This type of DCSs can be represented as an alphabetic bipartite netwo...

The ability to enter text on phones is crucial for utilizing the Short Message Service (SMS) of digital cellular networks. Standard 12-button phone keypads are not naturally suited for text entry as each button on them encodes three or more alphabetic letters. Various techniques have been proposed and implemented to improve text entry tasks. One such technique is predictive text entry. In this ...

Owing to the high expressiveness of regular expression, it is frequently used in searching and manipulation of text based data. Regular expression is highly applicable in processing Latin alphabet based text, but the same cannot be said for Hangeul∗, the writing system for Korean language. Although Hangeul possesses alphabetic features within the script, expressiveness of regular expression pat...

This present study examined accuracy and response latency of letter processing as a function of position within a horizontal array. In a series of 4 Experiments, target-strings were briefly (33ms for Experiments 1 to 3, 83ms for Experiment 4) displayed and both forward and backward masked. Participants then made a two alternative forced choice. The two alternative responses differed just in one...
