The covert interhemispheric transfer of linguistic information was demonstrated in a commissurotomy patient with bilateral language organization. It was found that under conditions of unilateral stimulation, a verbal association established in one hemisphere was available to the untrained hemisphere as well. Such interhemispheric transfer was observed only for phonetically codable information. ...

Popular views of hemispheric asymmetry hold that the left hemisphere is specialized for linguistic and cognitive processes and fine motor control, whereas the right is specialized for visuospatial processing. Although this dichotomy contains more than a grain of truth, it is an oversimplification. Experiments with split-brain patients have demonstrated that the left hemisphere retains relativel...

A novel method, BBD-SSPD is proposed by the combination of Box-Behnken Design (BBD) and Split-Split Plot Design (SSPD) which would ensure minimum number of experimental runs, leading to economical utilization in multi- factorial experiments. The brine shrimp Artemia was tested to study the combined effects of photoperiod, temperature and salinity, each with three levels, on the hatching percent...

Two recent patients in our behavioral series investigating the psychological effects of callosal section exhibit right hemisphere language. Using lateralized visual and auditory stimulation, semantic, phonetic, and expressive linguistic functions were examined. While the right hemisphere language systems in both patients were shown to be capable of semantic information processing, they differed...

This study examined the reliability and validity of an inertial measurement unit (IMU) for measuring orientation angle. An IMU was mounted onto a goniometer and moved through 0-90° with data collected at 10° increments. The process was repeated 10 times for all 3 axes. Reliability was measured via a typical error (TE) analysis from the 10 repeated trials. Validity was determined via a Pearson c...

Data were accumulated during interlaboratory trials for cheese moisture determination from laboratories using officially recognized methods: AOAC; International Dairy Federation, and Standard Methods for the Examination of Dairy Products (SM). In one trial, ranges of means of 5 cheeses were 0.67, 0.56, and 0.19% for 5, 9, and 8 laboratories, respectively. The lower ranges for the SM method were...

In this note, we present a simple geometric argument to determine a lower bound on the split rank of intersection cuts. As a first step of this argument, a polyhedral subset of the lattice-free convex set that is used to generate the intersection cut is constructed. We call this subset the restricted lattice-free set. It is then shown that dlog2(l)e is a lower bound on the split rank of the int...

Almtraet--Two questions concerning the mediation of psychophysical scaling of lateralized stimuli were investigated in .commissurotomized patients: (I) Is cross modality matching mediated by subvocal number assignment? (II) Are there hemispheric differences in psychophysical scaling? When exponents of power functions characterizing the magnitude estimation of joint position in right and left ha...
