BACKGROUND The psychological responses to captivity were measured in a sample of former prisoners of war (POWs) 18 and 30 years after release from captivity. METHOD 209 Israeli veterans of the 1973 Yom Kippur War (103 ex-POWs and 106 controls) who had taken part in a previous study conducted in 1991 participated in the current study conducted in 2003. The study assessed current rates of postt...

When the Internet became more interactive it turned passive consumers of information into active providers of such. Over the time, volunteers built impressive databases filled with information for virtually every niche. In this paper we present RITE, an idea for augmenting films and TV serials with supplementary information that is freely available on the Internet. An easy, yet powerful interfa...

I was a first year medical student, but the beginning of medical education has remained stable. First-year students are introduced to their cadaver. They are arranged in teams of four or five students. They begin as medical students have begun for over 100 years, by dissecting and exploring the easily visible, so-called “gross” anatomy of the human body. The first look at the face, the hands, g...

Between the 15th and 19th centuries ad, the Atlantic slave trade resulted in the forced movement of approximately 13 million people from Africa, mainly to the Americas. Only approximately 11 million survived the passage, and many more died in the early years of captivity. We have studied 481 mitochondrial DNAs (mtDNAs) of recent African ancestry in the Americas and in Eurasia, in an attempt to ...

What has been fascinating for me is the extent to which these books do, or more often do not, use the Old Testament material on atonement as the basis for what they have to say. The New Testament speaks in a variety of ways about atonement, and this has become the centre of Christian dogmatics; but this ‘aton...

This paper describes the submitted strategy and the methods of NUL team on NTCIR-11 QALab Center examination tasks. Our purpose of joining this task is to evaluate the entailment recognition systems which we made for RITE-VAL tasks. Our strategy is very primitive which directly convert the question to the entailment problem by simply matching the type of question answer pairs. Then, we solve th...

In this paper, we propose a labeled-alignment-based RTE method to approach the simplified Chinese textual entailment track in the NTCIR-10 RITE-2 task. The labeled alignment, compared with the normal alignment, employs negative links to explicitly mark the contradictory expressions between the two sentences to justify the non-entailment pairs. Therefore, the corresponding alignment-based RTE me...
