Rising reports of exophagic malaria vectors make even more pressing the need for alternatives to traditional, mesh, long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) designed for indoor sleeping and often inadequate in the protection of outdoor-sleeping populations. This study tests and evaluates the retention, utilization, and durability of novel, non-mesh nets designed for outdoor use. Longitudinal, cro...

Adult speech perception is tuned to efficiently process native phonetic categories, causing difficulties with certain non-native categories. For example, Japanese has no equivalent of the distinction between American English /r/ and /l/ and native speakers of Japanese have a hard time discriminating between these two sounds. Here, we ask whether standard Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) syste...

Difficulties in auditory and phonological processing affect semantic processing in speech comprehension for deaf and hard-of-hearing (DHH) children. However, little is known about brain responses related to semantic processing in this group. We investigated event-related potentials (ERPs) in DHH children with cochlear implants (CIs) and/or hearing aids (HAs), and in normally hearing controls (N...

The paper introduces an open domain entity search system called ESearch, which aims at finding a list of relevant entities to an open domain entity search query (a natural language question). The system is built on top of a Wikipedia text corpus, as well as the structured DBPedia knowledge base. Entities are initially ranked by a model which effectively associates context matching (based on the...

I researched the ability of browsers to counterfeit the behaviour of installed software. In full screen mode browsers can counterfeit almost anything, including BSOD, formatting the hard drive and fake login screens. I found one category of behaviour which could not be counterfeited by a remote website. On examination every solution in that category was a secret known by the computer user and h...

The hemodynamic adaptation of the human body to acute and chronic anemia has been extensively studied. There are few reports, however, of investigations of the response of anemic individuals to exercise. The most exhaustive study to date is that of Bishop, Donald and Wade (1), who evaluated 11 patients with anemia at moderate levels of exercise, performed in a supine position at minute ventilat...

The goal of this paper is to demystify the role played by the Reedy category axioms in homotopy theory. With no assumed prerequisites beyond a healthy appetite for category theoretic arguments, we present streamlined proofs of a number of useful technical results, which are well known to folklore but di cult to nd in the literature. While the results presented here are not new, our approach to ...

in this paper, new definitions of $l$-fuzzy closure operator, $l$-fuzzy interior operator, $l$-fuzzy remote neighborhood system, $l$-fuzzy neighborhood system and $l$-fuzzy quasi-coincident neighborhood system are proposed. it is proved that the category of $l$-fuzzy closure spaces, the category of $l$-fuzzy interior spaces, the category of $l$-fuzzy remote neighborhood spaces, the category of ...

Previous research has demonstrated that recall performance is facilitated by the order of presentation of salient stimuli, referred to as the category-order effect (Brooks & Watkins, 1990; Greene & Lasek, 1994). Specifically, recall is higher on the full list when numbers precede words. To extend and clarify this research, Experiment 1 modified Brooks and Watkins’ paradigm by presenting items a...

motivated by the recent study on categorical properties of latticevalued topology, the paper considers a generalization of the notion of topological system introduced by s. vickers, providing an algebraic and a coalgebraic category of the new structures. as a result, the nature of the category   topsys   of s. vickers gets clari ed, and a metatheorem is stated, claiming that (latticevalu...
