BACKGROUND Severe early life stress (ELS) is associated with negative outcomes. It is not clear, however, what impact moderate ELS has. A growing stress inoculation literature suggests that moderate (vs. low or high) ELS is associated with diminished behavioral and physiological anxiety responses. At the same time, studies of trait anxiety suggest that moderate (vs. low) ELS is associated with ...

We present new implicit-explicit (IMEX) Runge Kutta methods suitable for time dependent partial differential systems which contain stiff and non stiff terms (i.e. convection-diffusion problems, hyperbolic systems with relaxation). Here we restrict to diagonally implicit schemes and emphasize the relation with splitting schemes and asymptotic preserving schemes. Accuracy and stability properties...

We present an implicit discourse relation classifier in the Penn Discourse Treebank (PDTB). Our classifier considers the context of the two arguments, word pair information, as well as the arguments’ internal constituent and dependency parses. Our results on the PDTB yields a significant 14.1% improvement over the baseline. In our error analysis, we discuss four challenges in recognizing implic...

Sentences form coherent relations in a discourse without discourse connectives more frequently than with connectives. Senses of these implicit discourse relations that hold between a sentence pair, however, are challenging to infer. Here, we employ Brown cluster pairs to represent discourse relation and incorporate coreference patterns to identify senses of implicit discourse relations in natur...

This paper proposes an example-based superresolution algorithm for multi-spectral remote sensing images. The underlying idea of this algorithm is to learn a matrix-based implicit prior from a set of high-resolution training examples to model the relation between LR and HR images. The matrixbased implicit prior is learned as a regression operator using conjugate decent method. The direct relatio...

BACKGROUND There is converging evidence about the existence of different subgroups of patients with schizophrenia in relation to intellectual ability (intelligence quotient [IQ]). Studying cognitive deficits in such patients in relation to IQ, and more specifically to memory, could help determine the patterns of preserved and impaired functioning in cognitive abilities in association with patte...

Automated reasoning of inductive theorems is considered important in program verification. To verify inductive theorems automatically, several implicit induction methods like the inductionless induction and the rewriting induction methods have been proposed. In studying inductive theorems on higher-order rewritings, we found that the class of the theorems shown by known implicit induction metho...

The relations among implicit and explicit measures of sexual orientation attitudes and sexual-orientation-related behavior and beliefs among gay men (Study 1) and straight men (Studies 1 and 2) were explored. Study 1 found relations between implicit and explicit measures of sexual orientation attitudes, large differences between gay and straight men on both implicit and explicit measures, and t...
