Two auditory phenomena--stream segregation and illusory continuity through a wide-band noise interruption--were studied to determine whether the same principles of perceptual organization applied to both. A cycle was formed of a repeating alternation of two short bursts of narrow-band noise (NBN), one centered at a high frequency (H) and the other at a low frequency (L), with shorter bursts of ...

BACKGROUND The auditory continuity illusion or the perceptual restoration of a target sound briefly interrupted by an extraneous sound has been shown to depend on masking. However, little is known about factors other than masking. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS We examined whether a sequence of flanking transient sounds affects the apparent continuity of a target tone alternated with a bandpa...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Family medicine residents are required to maintain a continuity practice in an approved family medicine center (FMC) and achieve minimum targets for patient encounters. In the past, minimum periods of time in the FMC were defined in the program requirements, but these have now been replaced with target numbers of patient encounters. As residency programs come under inc...

using analytical method of usul al-fiqh, the present essay deals with opinions of shiite usulis on this question whether continuity of the previous state can be used with regard to time, temporal affairs, and affairs conditioned upon time. as for the first, we investigate opinions of usulis in this connection first, answer the problem of lack of doubt as to subsistence and that of lack of unity...

In this paper, the definition of meet-continuity on $L$-directedcomplete posets (for short, $L$-dcpos) is introduced. As ageneralization of meet-continuity on crisp dcpos, meet-continuity on$L$-dcpos, based on the generalized Scott topology, ischaracterized. In particular, it is shown that every continuous$L$-dcpo is meet-continuous and $L$-continuous retracts ofmeet-continuous $L$-dcpos are al...
