Eye-movement patterns during reading are consistent with proposition-byproposition models of speech comprehension. (1) Fixation times ore least offected by word length ot ends of clauses: this confirms the theory based on the study of speech comprehension that, at such points, attention is directed inward to text integration. (2) Fixotion time for words ot the end of clauses is longer for canon...

Organisms are built from distinct modules, which are internally coherent but flexible in their relationships among one another. We examined morphological variation within and between two candidate modules: the fore- and hindwings of bumblebees (Hymenoptera: Apidae: Bombus empatiens). We used the techniques of geometric morphometrics (Procrustes superimposition) to analyze the variation of landm...

2014 The temperature variation of the amplitude modulated magnetic structures of HoAg and TmAg has been investigated by neutron diffraction on single crystals. A beginning of squaring-up has been observed, but due to experimental conditions the expected antiphase regime could not be fully reached. No locking of the incommensurate propagation vector into commensurate values has been evidenced wi...

A general analytical scheme for computing the n-fold convolution of exponentialsum distribution functions has been developed in this paper. The n-fold convolution is first expressed by multiple sums of recursive integrals. These recursive integrals are then reconstructed with a series of delta functions to avoid separations of integrations. Part of the recursive integrals has been solved analyt...

A surface integration method for modeling of permanent magnets in 3-D space using edge nite elements is presented, where the value of the coercive magnetic forceH c is integrated only over the entire surface area of the permanent magnet. This allows direct computation of the equivalent source current values, which are afterwards assigned to the surface edges of the permanent magnet. The main ad...

A direct Ritz method for solving variational problems with fixed and free boundary conditions is demonstrated. Walsh-hybrid method bases are used as the basis functions. It is shown how the form of the operational matrix of integration affects accuracy of the obtained approximate solutions. The properties of the Walsh-hybrid functions with the operational matrix of integration and the cross pro...

Applied to the master equation, the usual numerical integration methods, such as Runge-Kutta method, become inefficient when the rates associated with various transitions differ by several orders of magnitude. We introduce an integration scheme that remains stable with much larger time increments than can be used in standard methods. When only the stationary distribution is required, a direct i...

In this paper, a modification of finite integration method (FIM) is combined with the radial basis function (RBF) method to solve a time-fractional convection-diffusion equation with variable coefficients. The FIM transforms partial differential equations into integral equations and this creates some constants of integration. Unlike the usual FIM, the proposed method computes constants of integ...

Background: Humans, rodents and sandflies have role in transmitted cycle of cutaneous leishmaniasis. To control the disease, promoting the environment, killing the rodent and poisoning the vectors are recommended, individually all over the world. Since, there is no effective vaccine against this disease, the integration of methods is considerable. Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of integrat...
