Intrinsic connectivity identifies the hippocampus as a main crossroad between Alzheimer's and semantic dementia-targeted networks. Neuron, 81, 1417-1428. Notes: Alzheimer's disease (AD) and semantic dementia (SD) are both characterized by severe atrophy in the hippocampus, a brain region underlying epis...

Arnheim‟s work explains visual art within the realm of Gestalt psychology. He believes that both physical and psychological forces influence experiencing a work of art equally. Overall, this text is an extremely detailed exploration of visual perception. Arnheim takes many fundamental artistic principles such as shape, balance, and color and dissects from a psychological framework. I would reco...

This article provides an overview of four auditory disorders relevant generally to adults and especially to veterans. The disorders are noise-induced hearing loss, idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss, otosclerosis, and Méniàre's disease. Sensorineural hearing loss characterizes each, but additional aspects vary with each of the four conditions. This article describes the conditions, di...

As indicated by the nearly two thousand citations of W. Fulton’s treatise on this topic, Excess Intersection Theory plays a very important role in modern algebraic geometry. It is often used to determine the contributions to the Euler class of a vector bundle from degenerate components of the vanishing locus of a specific, typically geometrically meaningful, section. This approach is rigid and ...

The circulation of Gnostic Gospel and Acts and the still more dangerous competition of a compact New Testament put out by the semi-Gnostic Marcion forced the Church in self-defence to assign an exclusive canonical authority-not inferior to that heretofore ascribed to the Old Testament-to those older lives of Christ which it regarded as specially authentic. Thus c. A.D. 180 we find the Four Gosp...

AbsThis paper is dedicated to describing the efforts of the Small Integrated Manufacturing Enterprise (SIME) program at The University of Texas at Arlington. The research objective of the program is the development of a set of integration requirements for the generalized small CIE of the future. These requirements will be established using a reference model of "the successful small CIE of the f...

Notes: Structural and content-related deficits occur in connected discourse of patients with semantic dementia (SD). We used principal components analysis (PCA) to characterise the sources of variation in word usage during picture description by controls and SD patients. ...
