Previous research shows that human learners can acquire word-referent pairs over a short series of individually ambiguous situations each containing multiple words and referents (Yu & Smith, 2007). In this kind of cross-situational statistical learning based on the repeated co-occurrence of words with their intended referents, the application of principles such as mutual exclusivity and contras...

Analysis of the mutual coupling and its effect on the CQHA performance in LMS MIMO system are investigated and presented in this paper. Due to the complexity of the CQHA structure, the mutual coupling effects were mainly studied using electromagnetic simulation. The effect of the separation spacing between inner and outer QHA on the mutual coupling was investigated by comparing the element isol...

Primary afferent neurons in mammalian dorsal root ganglia (DRGs) are anatomically isolated from one another and are not synaptically interconnected. As such, they are classically thought to function as independent sensory communication elements. However, it has recently been shown that most DRG neurons are transiently depolarized when axons of neighboring neurons of the same ganglion are stimul...

Microgoblet laser pairs are presented for cross-referenced on-chip biomolecular sensing. Parallel readout of the micro-lasers facilitates effective mutual filtering of highly localized refractive index and temperature fluctuations in the analyte. Cross-referenced detection of two different types of proteins and complete chemical transducer reconfiguration is demonstrated. Selective surface func...

Relativistic heavy ions are copious sources of virtual photons. The large photon flux gives rise to a substantial photonuclear interaction probability at impact parameters where no hadronic interactions can occur. Multiple photonuclear interactions in a single collision are possible. In this Letter, we use mutual Coulomb excitation of both nuclei as a tag for moderate-impact-parameter collision...

In this paper, we generalize the fundamental relation between the mutual information and the minimum mean squared error (MMSE) by Guo, Shamai, and Verdu [1] to K-User Gaussian channels. We prove that the derivative of the multiuser mutual information with respect to the signal to noise ratio (SNR) is equal to the total MMSE plus a covariance term with respect to the cross correlation of the mul...

Abstract—We present exact three-dimensional semi-analytical expressions of the force exerted between two coaxial thick coils with rectangular cross-sections. Then, we present a semi-analytical formulation of their mutual inductance. For this purpose, we have to calculate six and seven integrations for calculating the force and the mutual inductance respectively. After mathematical manipulations...

Equity mutual fund loads have fallen, while stock ownership rates and equity mutual fund use have risen, plausibly boosting the stock wealth elasticity of U.S. consumption. Because of limited wealth and diversification needs, load declines likely spurred middle-income families to invest in equity, consistent with cross-section data and the calibration model of Heaton and Lucas (2000). In load-m...

We present an information theoretic objective for bilingual word clustering that incorporates both monolingual distributional evidence as well as cross-lingual evidence from parallel corpora to learn high quality word clusters jointly in any number of languages. The monolingual component of our objective is the average mutual information of clusters of adjacent words in each language, while the...

Three studies demonstrate that mutual facilitation and interference among personal goals are distinct characteristics rather than mutually exclusive opposites and have different functions for psychological well-being and goal pursuit. The three studies vary in design (cross-sectional, short-termlongitudinal) and follow a multimethod approach using questionnaires, diaries, and objective behavior...
