AIMS To test the relationship between greenery in gardens at residential facilities for older people and the self-perceived health of residents, mediated by experiences of being away and fascination when in the garden and the frequency of visitation there. To examine how these indirect effects vary with the number of physical barriers to visiting the garden. BACKGROUND Many older people in re...

Garden type I fractures include incomplete fractures and impacted fractures. With advances in scientific technology and medical treatment, certain deficiencies of the Garden classification have become apparent. The authors hypothesized that the incidence of incomplete femoral neck fractures was low and that impacted femoral neck fractures were not undisplaced and stable fractures. A new method ...

We present a cognitive process model of human sentence comprehension based on generalized left-corner parsing. A search heuristic based upon previouslyparsed corpora derives garden path effects, garden path paradoxes, and the local coherence effect.

This paper describes a practical method of developing custom HPC software products using a store of libraries and tools independent from the OS called a "garden". All dependencies from the product to libraries of the underlying OS distribution are carefully severed, isolating the package from instability due to system upgrades and ensuring repeatable deterministic builds on different flavors of...

The Secret Garden is an interactive narrative potential space, which aims to be a hidden rest area in urban space and a site to interrogate and reflect on the human experience. A digital image of the tree with its ‘will’ to grow stands in the space. A spectator’s secret will feed the tree. JeeHee’s The Secret Garden installation suggests a cross-art form. Sound, light and visualisation will des...

This work is an investigation into part of the human sentence parsing mechanism (HSPM). The major test of the psychological val idi ty of any model of the HSPM is that it fail on precisely those sentences that humans find to be garden paths. It is hypothesized that the HSPM consists of at least two processes. We call the first process the syntactic processor, and the second wil l be known as th...

Als Beispiel einer interaktiven Mixed Reality Umgebung beschreiben wir den „Sensoric Garden“, sieben während eines Festivals gezeigte Installationen. Da solche Ereignisse sich nicht in Bezug auf Benutzbarkeit oder Effektivität bewerten lassen, benötigen wir andere Kriterien, um die Attraktivität der Installationen für Besucher zu erklären. Konzepte aus der Debatte um Interaktionsdesign und Inte...

This paper presents modifications to a standard probabilistic context-free grammar that enable a predictive parser to avoid garden pathing without resorting to any ad-hoc heuristic repair. The resulting parser is shown to apply efficiently to both newspaper text and telephone conversations with complete coverage and excellent accuracy. The distribution over trees is peaked enough to allow the p...

The purpose of this study is to review representative cases of green space development in order to compare the Garden City concept and Green Belt concept as applied and to examine its direction in major Asian and Oceanic cities. The results of previous studies and this study show that there are two major directions in such green-oriented city planning. One direction is toward Multi-Regional Dev...
