This paper traces the thematic units of science and technology in the songs of Humberto Gessinger. We conducted an analysis of three songs, according to the studies of the Bakhtin Circle, by observing the inclusion of words and expressions of science in this poetic production. It transpires from this analysis that by including these words into popular song, Gessinger brings echoes of scientific...

There is a paucity of neuroaesthetic studies on prose fiction. This is in contrast to the very many impressive studies that have been conducted in recent times on the neuroaesthetics of sister arts such as painting, music and dance. Why might this be the case, what are its causes and, of greatest importance, how can it best be resolved? In this article, the pitfalls, parameters and prospects of...

Background: Dry eye disease is a multifactorial disease whose pathogenic mechanisms have not been investigated rigorously. The objective of this study was to evaluate the utility of Prosthetic Replacement of the Ocular Surface Ecosystem (PROSE) treatment in the management of patients with intrinsic evaporative dry eye refractory to conventional therapies. Design: A retrospective clinical cohort...

We demonstrate an expanded procedure for assessing drug-label comprehension. Innovations include a pretest of drug preconceptions, verbal ability and label attentiveness measures, a label-scanning task, a free-recall test, category-clustering measures, and preconception-change scores. In total, 55 female and 39 male undergraduates read a facsimile Drug Facts Label for aspirin, a Cohesive-Prose ...

As a profession, we have standard practices for handling reasoning and argumentation. One feature of these practices is so familiar and pervasive that it is almost invisible: the medium of philosophical argumentation is prose. We spend a great deal of time articulating arguments in written prose, and identifying arguments in the writings of others. The dominance of prose goes beyond writing; ev...

The article analyzes mental representations of Russian lyrical prose texts. The texts demonstrate collective memory engrams that are defined by cultural and historical legacy of the nation and authors’ creative world perception. In architectonics of a lyrical prose text, sense perception reveals itself in accumulated underlying meanings and wisdom conveyed by expressive means. The author’s inte...

refined in an iterative, incremental fashion. Even when a satisfactory draft evolves, an author frequently makes minor changes on each reading of the paper, particularly if the author sets the manuscript aside between readings. Compared to the manual process of writing a paper, the process of creating a computer program to generate prose can be even more frustrating and complex, particularly if...

One of the Prose styles of the contemporary world is focused on the reflection of the outer world on the world of the story. This is widely used in the works of realist and naturalist Iranian writers. Sadegh Chubak, one of the prominent contemporary writers, has achieved a unique language by presenting the reality in his artistic prose. The aim of this research is to analyze the process of crea...

Three groups of children, aged 5, 7 and 11 years, were tested in a clausememory task, in order to investigate the role of syntactic and semantic factors in children's recall and processing of spoken continuous prose. The children listened to a story, which was interrupted at intervals during which they were asked to repeat verbatim the last sentence they heard. The testsentences always consiste...

Dynamic Aspect-Oriented Programming (d-AOP) is an important tool to implement adaptation in a wide variety of applications. In particular, large distributed infrastructures, middleware, and pervasive computing environments can greatly benefit from d-AOP to adapt software systems at run time. In this paper, we discuss the design of PROSE, an open source, generic platform for software adaptation....
