The Dimension Action (DA) model asserts that the visual system is modular, and that each task involves multiple-response mechanisms rather than a unitary-response selection mechanism. The model has been supported by evidence from single-task interference paradigms. We use the psychological refractory period paradigm and show that dual-task performance can also be explained by the DA model. In 6...

In a seminal STOC’95 paper, Arya et al. conjectured that spanners for low-dimensional Euclidean spaces with constant maximum degree, hop-diameter O(logn) and lightness O(logn) (i.e., weight O(logn)· w(MST)) can be constructed in O(n logn) time. This conjecture, which became a central open question in this area, was resolved in the affirmative by Elkin and Solomon in STOC’13 (even for doubling m...

It has recently been demonstrated that a lateralized distractor that matches the individual's top-down control settings elicits an N2pc wave, an electrophysiological index of the focus of visual-spatial attention, indicating that contingent capture has a visual-spatial locus. Here, we investigated whether contingent capture required capacity-limited central resources by incorporating a continge...

It is widely acknowledged that visual input is processed along two anatomically and functionally distinct pathways--a ventral pathway for conscious perception and a dorsal pathway for action control. The present study investigated whether the apparent direct and unmediated processing in the dorsal stream is subject to capacity limitations. Specifically, we tested whether a simple dorsal task of...

The provision of local public services has become one the main concerns governments. Therefore, selection most appropriate form management to maximize efficiency levels in been widely analyzed throughout academic literature. In this context, aim paper is add new knowledge literature on services. To end, we propose study four forms (interested indirect management; by concession; intermunicipal c...

Now that there is a general concession that good work is being done by some or all of the different forms of radiant energy, it may be as well to enquire whether we may be able to detect any theory upon which we may work, and thus remove, if possible, these novel forms of treatment from the limits of absolute ?empiricism.

In this paper, we present an approach to exploit phrase tables generated by statistical machine translation in order to map French discourse connectives to discourse relations. Using this approach, we created ConcoLeDisCo, a lexicon of French discourse connectives and their PDTB relations. When evaluated against LEXCONN, ConcoLeDisCo achieves a recall of 0.81 and an Average Precision of 0.68 fo...

Abstract This article explores how relations of both domination and resistance have been involved in the constitution international hierarchies. Focusing on events arising from Persian government’s 1932 cancellation D’Arcy oil concession, it argues that while Western-dominated hierarchies proved resilient, some aspects these hierarchical relationships altered by episodes such as one under exami...
