We carried out a masked priming lexical decision experiment to study whether visual letter similarity plays a role during the initial phases of word processing in young readers of Arabic (fifth graders). Arabic is ideally suited to test these effects because most Arabic letters share their basic shape with at least one other letter and differ only in the number/position of diacritical points (e...

Forkhead transcription factors play crucial and diverse roles in mesoderm development. In particular, FoxF and FoxC genes are, respectively, involved in the development of visceral/splanchnic mesoderm and non-visceral mesoderm in coelomate animals. Here, we show at single-cell resolution that, in the pseudocoelomate nematode C. elegans, the single FoxF/FoxC transcription factor LET-381 function...

We examine the relationship between trader longevity and trader behavior in U.S. equity markets. Traders who change how much, what, when, and where they trade often remain active for a longer period of time. Although longer (shorter) duration traders tend to perform better (worse), changes in trading behavior rather than performance is the key determinant of longevity. Overall, our findings sug...

A moderately deep and rather wide artificial neural net is applied in phoneme recognition of noisy speech. The net is formed by first estimating posterior probabilities of phonemes in 21 band-limited streams covering the whole speech spectrum. These 21 band-limited streams are subdivided into three seven band-limited stream subsets, by differently sub-sampling the original 21 band-limited strea...

This paper demonstrates how intensity regression and methods for visualizing demographic data can be applied to the study of sex differentials in survival in the Canadian population over the period 1921-1997. In general the results indicate that death rates declined differently for males and females and that the rate of mortality decline was not constant over age or over time. The global patter...

This paper presents some new results on numerical stability for various fast trigonometric transforms. In a worst case study, we consider the numerical stability of the classical fast Fourier transform (FFT) with respect to different precomputation methods for the involved twiddle factors and show the strong influence of precomputation errors on the numerical stability of the FFT. The examinati...
