The ‘‘tip of the fingers’’ phenomenon (TOF) for sign language parallels the ‘‘tip of the tongue’’ phenomenon (TOT) for spoken language. During a TOF, signers are sure they know a sign but cannot retrieve it. Although some theories collapse semantics and phonology in sign language and thus predict that TOFs should not occur, TOFs were elicited in the current study. Like TOTs, TOFs often resolve ...

Cs ion exchange in RbTiOPO4 and (Yb,Nb):RTP/RTP(001) has been used to locally increase the refractive indices for waveguide circuit fabrication. Ti masks were fabricated on RTP samples by conventional photolithography. Cs exchange was done using a CsNO3 melt at 698 K during 2 h. Elemental analysis confirms an Cs profile with a variable depth. Apparently the Cs exchange is disfavored in the dope...

Stroke patients with optic ataxia have an outstanding inability to perform spatially accurate movements to visual targets located in their peripheral visual field. Neuropsychological investigations of such patients contributed essentially to the two visual stream hypothesis which presumes dissociated actionand perception-related processing of visual information in the human brain. Here we revie...

We investigate the effect of gamma radiation on flux grown KTiOPO4 and Rb:KTiOPO4 samples, as well as their periodically poled variants. Specifically, we study the altered transmission due to color-center formation via gamma irradiation. We measured the transmission of our samples for varying radiation doses and demonstrate effective temperature annealing of gamma radiation induced color center...

In three experiments we tested the predictions of two models of determiner selection in the production of Dutch noun phrases (NPs). In Experiment 1, participants named pictures using plural and unmarked determiner + noun NPs. In Experiment 2, participants named pictures using diminutive and unmarked determiner + noun NPs. In both experiments, we found that production latencies for plural and di...

Wildlife often comes into conflict with agriculture, as shrinkage of native habitat and high food quality on cultivated land lure herbivores onto agricultural fields (Fox & Abraham, 2017; Fox Madsen, Watve et al., 2016), where the damage can be substantial (Bleier 2012; Conover Kania, 1995; Hofman-Kaminska Kowalczyk, Koffijberg Montràs-Janer 2019; Nilsson 2016; Schley 2008). Management such con...

A 50-plus year history of research on apraxia of speech (AOS) has spawned a body of literature that has been always controversial, at times contradictory, and at other times enlightening and coherent. This chapter reviews briefly the phonetic theory and neurological substrates for the disorder. We discuss neurolinguistic models and experimental evidence that have helped to set diagnostic criter...

Heartburn is a common symptom in clinical practice, but as many 70% of patients have normal findings from upper endoscopy. Most these nonerosive reflux disease (NERD) or functional esophageal disorders. NERD the most phenotype gastroesophageal disease, and heartburn cause for refractory heartburn. In with NERD, symptoms arise hypersensitivity, whereas heartburn, result hypersensitivity. A diagn...

s We compare the way two models of consciousness treat subjective timing. According to the standard "Cartesian Theater" model, there is a place in the brain where "it all comes together," and the discriminations in all modalities are somehow put into registration and "presented" for subjective judgment. The timing of the events in this theater determines subjective order. According to the alter...
