Quawds is a system for interpreting human gait. Quawds uses diierent domain models for diierent diagnostic subtasks depending on which model can perform the subtask most eeciently and eeectively. Associational models are used to identify ndings and rate faults. A qualitative model is used to determine causal relationships between faults and ndings. Abductive assembly is used to coordinate the d...

In temperate forests within Europe, early-flushing (EF) deciduous trees are often heavily infested by early spring leaf-eating Lepidoptera, while late-flushing (LF) better protected in a phenological manner against such heavy infestations, as moth larvae begin to appear before their bud burst. The associational effects of EF on LF ones only poorly known. We studied whether or not the infestatio...

Expansion of query keywords based on semantic relations is an effective approach to improve the performance of information retrieval. Traditional methods of query expansion did not adequately make use of semantic relations between query keywords. In this paper, a novel approach for query expansion is presented. The main idea of the approach is to construct a ‘Tree of Associational Semantics Mod...

Recognition memory requires judgments of the previous occurrence of stimuli made on the basis of the relative familiarity of individual objects, or by integrating information concerning objects and location, or by using recency information. The present study examined the role of the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) and perirhinal cortex (PRH) in these distinct recognition memory processes using ...
