Motivation: By using more recent signal processing techniques in conjunction with an updated representational framework, the benefits of medial axis representations can be exploited while avoiding several of their traditional drawbacks. Some types of medial axis representations appear to be well matched to the class of shapes that comprise human faces and bodies. These descriptors highlight the...

Human self-consciousness operates at different levels of complexity and at least comprises five different levels of representational processes. These five levels are nonconceptual representation, conceptual representation, sentential representation, meta-representation, and iterative meta-representation. These different levels of representation can be operationalized by taking a first-person-pe...

This article presents a model of prosodic structure development that takes account of the fundamental continuity between child and adult systems, the surface level divergence of child forms from their adult target forms, and the overall developmental paths of prosodic structure. The main empirical base for the study comes from longitudinal data collected from three Japanese-speaking children (1...

In this article, the authors revisit an argument made in a 2019 suggesting that not much has changed representational field, or ‘narrative economies’ (Gibbs and Lehtonen 2019), within which film I, Daniel Blake was originally released - despite ongoing Covid-19 crisis intensification of both existing new forms precarity poverty intervening years.

A description of the processes central to the evolution of art from sculpted earthen forms early in human existence to paintings in museums of the modern world is absent in scholarly literature (Gombrich, 1972; Spivey, 2005). The present manuscript offers a memetic theory of art evolution demonstrating typological transitions of art in the period post the 3-dimensional to 2-dimensional transiti...

local anesthesia forms the major part of pain-control techniques in dentistry. the prevention and elimination of pain during dental treatment has benefited patients, their doctors and dental hygienists, enabling the dental profession to make tremendous therapeutic advances that would otherwise have been impossible. introduced in the late 1940s, the amide local anesthetics represent the most use...
