A great deal of developmental research has relied on self-reports solicited using the "some/other" question format ("Some students think that… but other students think that…"). This article reports tests of the assumptions underlying its use: that it conveys to adolescents that socially undesirable attitudes, beliefs, or behaviors are not uncommon and legitimizes reporting them, yielding more v...

Clinical manifestations of primary amyloidosis can be subtle, particularly when the gastrointestinal tract is involved. We present two cases that illustrate the diversity of such involvement and the subsequent problems with diagnosis. Gastrointestinal effects of primary systemic amyloidosis are reviewed and clinical pointers towards diagnosis are discussed. In particular these cases illustrate ...

Developing a Bangla OCR requires bunch of algorithm and methods. There were many effort went on for developing a Bangla OCR. But all of them failed to provide an error free Bangla OCR. Each of them has some lacking. We discussed about the problem scope of currently existing Bangla OCR‟s. In this paper, we present the basic steps required for developing a Bangla OCR and a complete workflow for d...

We discuss the use of an accent-independent keyword lexicon to synthesise speakers with different regional accents. The paper describes the system architecture and the transcription system used in the lexicon, and then focuses on the construction of word-lists for recording speakers. We illustrate by mentioning some of the features of Scottish and Irish English, which we are currently synthesis...

We extend arithmetic with a new predicate Pr, giving axioms for Pr based on first-order versions of Lob's derivability conditions. We hoped that the addition of a reflection schema mentioning Pr would then give a non-conservative extension of the original arithmetic theory. The paper investigates this possibility. It is shown that, under special conditions, the extension is indeed non-conservat...

In this paper we present the results of some initial experiments performed in developing an unsupervised Parts-of-Speech (POS) tagger for the Bangla language. We start with mentioning some of the work done in this area, and present the rationale for trying an unsupervised approach. We then describe the resources used for the project, the underlying mechanism for unsupervised learning and presen...

This paper briefly surveys the state of the art of a particular mechanism of learning: induction. We discuss inductive mechanisms, drawing attention to the foundation of generalisation success and its limitations. The distinction between base-learning and meta-learning approaches is pointed out in order to better identify the peculiar attributes of current learning strategies. We examine the po...

on Vu aQy other book. Of the other sections, those t)0: ls.orders of malnutrition, various diets and food are worth mentioning. The inclusion of new lOO F ^as increased the size of the book by about an/ages. The authors' approach is essentially practical It fr?^ore specially valuable at present in the tropics. dor?t n'ains a great deal of information which will help 8 in the tropics. The book i...

At the end of the Middle Miocene the Caucasus represented a land forepart, the geographic position of which induced the development of peculiar flora and fauna in Eastern Georgia. On the territory of Eastern Georgia several reference fossil vertebrate sites are discovered, among them its worth mentioning Udabno (Maeotian), Dzedzvtakhevi (Maeotian), Iaghludja (Sarmatian-Maeotian), Kvabebi (Akcha...

Conformal Ricci and conformal matter collineations for the combination of two perfect fluids in General Relativity are investigated. We study the existence of timelike and spacelike conformal Ricci and matter collineations by introducing the kinematical and dynamical properties of such fluids and using the Einstein field equations. Some recent studies on conformal collineations are extended and...
