The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between students‘ explicit knowledge in grammar and their translation ability. The importance of grammatical knowledge and its effectiveness in translation quality motivated the researcher to run this study and consider grammatical knowledge in Per- sian as the source language of Iranian students. It is clear that grammar is an area ...

The goal of this lecture is to discuss more sophisticated time-marching schemes, and in particular, the major distinction between explicit and implicit methods.

• Instructions to approach or avoid fictitious social groups cause changes in implicit evaluations. • These changes are not fully mediated by changes in explicit evaluations. • These changes occur even in the absence of changes in explicit evaluations. • These changes occur even if highly diagnostic incompatible valence information is provided. • These findings constrain current and future mode...

While a significant amount of research has been devoted to textual entailment, automated entailment from conversational scripts has received less attention. To address this limitation, this paper investigates the problem of conversation entailment: automated inference of hypotheses from conversation scripts. We examine two levels of semantic representations: a basic representation based on synt...

The paper is concerned with stabilization of a scalar delay differention equation ẋ(t)− m ∑ k=1 Ak(t)x[hk(t)] = 0, t ≥ 0, x(ξ) = φ(ξ), ξ < 0, by introducing impulses in certain moments of time x(τj) = Bjx(τj − 0), j = 1, 2, . . . . Explicit stability results are presented both for the equation with positive coefficients and for the equation with Ak being of arbitrary sign. Supported by Israel M...

The aim of this research was to study the relationship between explicit memory and hippocampal volume. Seventy healthy adults were administered one implicit memory test and one explicit memory (EM) test and underwent magnetic resonance imaging. The major finding was a negative correlation between the EM test and the right hippocampus/brain volume ratio (t = -0.25, P = 0.03) and the left hippoca...

This paper describes the system used by the LIPN team in the Semantic Textual Similarity task at SemEval 2013. It uses a support vector regression model, combining different text similarity measures that constitute the features. These measures include simple distances like Levenshtein edit distance, cosine, Named Entities overlap and more complex distances like Explicit Semantic Analysis, WordN...

Urbanization leads to the replacement of natural areas by impervious surfaces and affects the catchment hydrological cycle with adverse environmental impacts. Low impact development tools (LID) that mimic hydrological processes of natural areas have been developed and applied to mitigate these impacts. Hydrological simulations are one possibility to evaluate the LID performance but the associat...
