The relationship between university and industry is becoming more and more important. A proper amalgam of the different and at times conflicting objectives can bring long range benefits. By contrast, disconcerted actions while possibly leading to short term but incongruous advantages is surely a source of long range damage. Such critical circumstances appear unprecedented: only few years ago th...

During the twenty-first century multifaith spaces (MFS) have spread across Western world. They represent a new type of sacred space, where events belonging to different faiths, or no faith, share space. One strange things about them is that they appear be spontaneous phenomenon with organization promoting setting standards for them. This deserves an explanation. We observe shared hosting Confuc...

AIM The aim of this work is to analyze by scanning electron microscopy implant components that have mechanically failed in vivo. MATERIALS AND METHODS Three clinical cases are presented relative to single lateral posterior restorations supported by implants and a case of a mandibular overdenture supported by two implants. In all the reported cases the presence of an incongruous occlusal load ...

Three eye movement experiments investigated focus identification during sentence comprehension. Participants read dative or double-object sentences (i.e., either the direct or indirect object occurred first), and a replacive continuation supplied a contrast that was congruous with either the direct or the indirect object. Experiments 1 and 2 manipulated focus by locating only adjacent to either...

The hippocampus is crucial for conscious, explicit memory, but whether it is also involved in nonconscious, implicit memory is uncertain. We investigated with functional magnetic resonance imaging whether implicit learning engages the hippocampus and interacts with subsequent explicit learning. The presentation of subliminal faces-written profession pairs for implicit learning was followed by t...

Inconsistent contexts are death-wounds which usually result in context-aware applications’ incongruous behaviors and users’ perplexed feelings, therefore the benefits of context-aware computing will become less believed. This problem occurs in most sensor based applications due to the intrinsic drawbacks of fallible physical sensors which can only detect some evidence of real world’s situations...

Age-related changes in the processing of sentence-embedded semantic anomalies were examined using auditory event-related potentials (ERPs). Semantically incongruous words elicited an N400 effect in middle-aged (50s: 55.6 years) and elderly (60s: 64.1 years) subjects, whereas in older elderly adults (70s: 74.9 years) this effect approached significance. N400 peak latencies were not delayed with ...

We extracted a subpopulation of 136 patients (from our database of 257 AN/AD subjects) in whom middle ear muscle reflexes had been measured. None showed normal reflexes at all frequencies tested. Only three subjects showed any reflexes at 95 dB HL or below, but never at both 1 and 2 kHz in both ears whether ipsilaterally or contralaterally elicited. All the other reflex measures in these remain...
