A fashionable view in comparative psychology states that primates possess self-awareness because they exhibit mirror self-recognition (MSR), which in turn makes it possible to infer mental states in others (“Theory-of-Mind”; ToM). In cognitive neuroscience, an increasingly popular position holds that the right hemisphere represents the center of self-awareness because MSR and ToM tasks presumab...

Males with the SR X chromosome show the "sex-ratio" (sr) phenotype in which they produce almost entirely daughters. The few sons (about 1%) are invariably sterile X/O males and result entirely from nullo-XY sperm. The "male-sex-ratio" (msr) phenotype is a modified form of sr in which SR/Y males produce a higher frequency of sterile X/O sons. The msr trait is due to the presence of the SR X-chro...

This paper investigates whether multisemantic-role (MSR) based selectional preferences can be used to improve the performance of supervised verb sense disambiguation. Unlike conventional selectional preferences which are extracted from parse trees based on hand-crafted rules, and only include the direct subject or the direct object of the verbs, the MSR based selectional preferences to be prese...

Scavenger receptors mediate binding and uptake of chemically modified lipoproteins. cDNA cloning of the human macrophage scavenger receptor (MSR) reveals the presence of two mRNA species, the type I and II isoforms, which are generated by 3' alternative splicing of a single MSR gene and translated into two proteins with different C-terminal domains. We studied MSR isoform expression during the ...

In this paper, signed-rank based nonparametric detectors are used for pseudonoise (PN) code acquisition in direct sequence spread spectrum (DS/SS) systems. We first derive the locally optimum rank (LOR) detector, and then propose a locally suboptimum rank (LSR) detector and a modified signed-rank (MSR) detector using approximate score functions. We compare the single-dwell scheme without the ve...

This paper describes a Chinese word segmentor (CWS) based on backward maximum matching (BMM) technique for the 2 nd Chinese Word Segmentation Bakeoff in the Microsoft Research (MSR) closed testing track. Our CWS comprises of a context-based Chinese unknown word identifier (UWI). All the context-based knowledge for the UWI is fully automatically generated by the MSR training corpus. According to...

Sebagai salah satu upaya untuk peningkatan daya tahan kapal perang dapat dilakukan dengan menggunakan sistem propulsi nuklir sebagai sumber tenaga penggerak. Penggunaan energy sitem penggerak memiliki nilai efektifitas yang tinggi jika dibandingkan minyak alam. Salah contoh model reaktor digunakan pada yaitu Molten Salt Reactor (MSR). MSR ada saat ini masih berukuran sangat besar. Oleh karena i...
