Previous studies on tongue reading, i.e., speech perception of degraded audio supported by animations of tongue movements have indicated that the support is weak initially and that subjects need training to learn to interpret the movements. This paper investigates if the learning is of the animation templates as such or if subjects learn to retrieve articulatory knowledge that they already have...

Work hardening in crystalline materials is related to the accumulation of statistically stored dislocations in low-energy structures. We present here a model which includes dislocation dynamics in the rate-independent setting for plasticity. Three basic physical features are taken into account: (i) the role of dislocation densities in hardening; (ii) the relations between the slip velocities an...

This paper presents the simulation tool called SSDRIVE (Simple Simulation of Driver performance). Following a brief description of the theoretical background and basic algorithms that describe the performance of drivers, the paper presents two case studies of DVE interactions, predicting dynamic situations according to different driver attitudes, in similar traffic conditions. In this way the p...

This study investigated the impact of interaction and output modality on vocabulary learning and retention of EFL learners. To investigate the impact of Interaction, solitary (n =69) and collaborative (n =62) groups served as experimental and No Interaction No Output (n =26) as control group. To address the effect of modality, spoken (n =39) and written (n =31) modalities served as experimental...

There are several reports that adenosine and carbamazepine have pharmacodynamic interaction. I n this study the antinociceptive interaction o f these two agents was evaluated in mice by the hot plate test. Agents were injected intraperitoneally. 0.2 and 0.4 mg/kg doses of R-phenylisopropyladenosine (R-PIA) substantially showed antinociceptive effects. Carbamazepine had antinociceptive acti...

Twenty-four different local and gradient-corrected density functional methods were used in a study of the reaction H + Hz-+ H2 + H. Barrier heights were calculated with a large basis set. The results were compared to those obtained by ab initio methods and experiment. It was found that conventional Kohn-Sham methods consistently and significantly underestimate the reaction barrier. In particula...
