Background Radial sampling is often used in dynamic CMR because it is robust to flow and motion, supports short echo times, and provides a diffuse aliasing pattern. One drawback is that current implementations do not support anisotropic field-of-view (FOV). Larson et al. [1] previously provided a simple scheme for supporting anisotropic FOV in static radial imaging. We extend the approach to go...

During the past few decades, music cognition researchers have proposed several theories of melodic expectation. (is paper reviews the basic features of models proposed by Narmour, Lerdahl, Larson, and Margulis. Next, it presents elements of a new theory based primarily on implementing Larson’s theory of musical forces using methods developed by the Fluid Analogies Research Group (FARG). Finally...

Certainly this would seem to be what many authors mean by the term compositional. In introductory textbooks, the idea of compositionality is often introduced by pointing out that if there weren’t some systematic way of calculating the meanings of complex expressions from the meanings of their parts, we could not explain how speakers understand novel sentences, or indefinitely many sentences. Th...

SUMMER 2007 133 ■ The Dialogue on Dialogues workshop was organized as a satellite event at the Interspeech 2006 conference in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and it was held on September 17, 2006, immediately before the main conference. It was planned and coordinated by Michael McTear (University of Ulster, UK), Kristiina Jokinen (University of Helsinki, Finland), and James A. Larson (Portland State ...

A certain prima facie implausible idea about the semantics of donkey pronouns has found a surprising number of adherents (Davies 1981, Lappin 1989, Neale 1990, Lappin and Francez 1994, Yoon 1994, 1996, Krifka 1996a) and even crept into a textbook (Larson and Segal 1995).1 According to this idea, syntactically singular donkey pronouns like it in (1) are semantically numberless, so that (2) provi...

In this paper we use the concept of wavelet sets as introduced by X. Dai and D. Larson, to decompose the wavelet representation of the discrete group associated to an arbitrary n×n integer dilation matrix as a direct integral of irreducible monomial representations. In so doing we generalize a result of F. Martin and A. Valette in which they show that the wavelet representation is weakly equiva...

ASYMMETRY There exists a cross-linguistic asymmetry in availability of discourse items among adjunct clauses between because-clauses on one hand, and temporal clauses and if -clauses on the other (see examples (1) for English obviously , (2) for German ja and (3) for Japanese wa; see Hooper and Thompson 1973, Tenny 2002, Sawada and Larson 2004 among others for the same type of asymmetry with ot...

Splitting type loci are the natural generalizations of Brill-Noether varieties for curves with a distinguished map to projective line. We give tropical proof theorem H. Larson, showing that splitting have expected dimension general elements Hurwitz space. Our uses an explicit description on certain family curves. further show these connected in codimension one, and describe algorithm computing ...

Large-scale emergencies, such as substantial acts of nature, large human-caused accidents, and major terrorist attacks, are of high-consequence, low-probability (HCLP) events that may result in loss of life and severe property damage. In recent years, developing decision-oriented operations researchmodels to improve preparation for and response to major emergencies has drawn more and more atten...
