In translation, choosing appropriate equivalent is essential to convey the right message from source-text to target-text, and one of the issues that may have a determinative role in appropriate equivalent choice is the semantic prosody (SP) behavior of words and the relation existing between the SP of a word and semantic senses (i.e. negativity, positivity or neutrality) of its collocations in ...

web search engines are one of the most popular tools on the internet which are widely-used by expert and novice users. constructing an adequate query which represents the best specification of users’ information need to the search engine is an important concern of web users. query expansion is a way to reduce this concern and increase user satisfaction. in this paper, a new method of query expa...

Current knowledge on the neuronal substrates of Pavlovian conditioning in animals and man is briefly reviewed. First, work on conditioning in aplysia, that has showed amplified pre-synaptic facilitation as the basic mechanism of associative learning, is summarized. Then, two exemplars of associative learning in vertebrates, fear conditioning in rodents and eyelid conditioning in rabbits, are de...

BACKGROUND Following different types of conditioning, allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation produces a graft-versus-tumor effect in patients with solid tumors. We performed a non-randomized study comparing low intensity conditioning with reduced intensity conditioning after stem cell transplantation to demonstrate the graft-versus-tumor effect. DESIGN AND METHODS Allogeneic stem ...

this paper studies the semantic contribution of –e suffix based on lieber (2004). this theory using seven semantic features and a principle called coindexation principle studies the semantic contribution of lexical items and their function in compounding, derivation and conversion. in this theory each lexical item even affixes have a semantic skeleton and a semantic body. each affix has to have...

the present paper intends to probe in to the process of semantic substitution in farsi, which is one of the most frequent semantic processes. employing such aprocess, the outhor intends to show how semantic shifting is performed

Effects of forward and backward conditioned-unconditioned stimulus (CS-US) intervals on classical conditioning of the flexion reflex were examined in a cat spinal preparation. Interstimulus intervals (ISIs) ranging from +3.0 to -3.0 sec were employed in 9 experimental groups and the results compared with those of an explicitly unpaired control group. Forward conditioning produced an asymmetrica...

Trace conditioning is a form of associative learning that can be induced by presenting a conditioned stimulus (CS) and an unconditioned stimulus (US) following each other, but separated by a temporal gap. This gap distinguishes trace conditioning from classical delay conditioning, where the CS and US overlap. To bridge the temporal gap between both stimuli and to form an association between CS ...
