Pezdek and Lam [Pezdek, K. & Lam, S. (2007). What research paradigms have cognitive psychologists used to study "False memory," and what are the implications of these choices? Consciousness and Cognition] claim that the majority of research into false memories has been misguided. Specifically, they charge that false memory scientists have been (1) misusing the term "false memory," (2) relying o...

1. The symptoms Hallucinations (false perceptions) and delusions (false beliefs) are characteristic symptoms of schizophrenia. Typical hallucinations include: hearing people talking to you or about you, hearing a running commentary on your actions, and hearing your thoughts spoken aloud. Typical delusions include; believing that other people can hear your thoughts, believing that your actions a...

Automatic warning systems for protection against airborne threats require a high detection probability at long ranges. Infrared Search and Track (IRST) systems which are designed as monocular and passive systems are able to fulfil this requirement. However, due to clutter and distortions by other objects, like birds or clouds, these systems do not achieve the required low false alarm rate. For ...

BACKGROUND Monitoring clinical interventions is an increasing requirement in current clinical practice. The standard CUSUM (cumulative sum) charts are used for this purpose. However, they are difficult to use in terms of identifying the point at which outcomes begin to be outside recommended limits. OBJECTIVE To assess the Bernoulli CUSUM chart that permits not only a 100% inspection rate, bu...

Structure-based virtual screening for selecting potential drug candidates is usually challenged by how numerous false positives in a molecule library are excluded when receptor plasticity is considered. In this study, based on the binding energy landscape theory, a hypothesis that a true inhibitor can bind to different conformations of the binding site favorably was put forth, and related strat...

BACKGROUND Intravascular optical coherence tomography (IVOCT) images are recorded by detecting light backscattered within coronary arteries. We hypothesize that non-thin-capped fibroatheroma (TCFA) causes may scatter light to create the false appearance of IVOCT TCFA. METHODS AND RESULTS Ten human cadaver hearts were imaged with IVOCT (n=14 coronary arteries). IVOCT and histological TCFA imag...

Abstract: In research on eye movements in reading, it is common to analyze a number of canonical dependent measures in order to study how the effects of a manipulation unfold over time. Although this gives rise to the well-known multiple comparisons problem, i.e. an inflated probability that the null hypothesis is incorrectly rejected (Type I error), it is accepted standard practice not to appl...

In wireless sensor networks, adversaries can injectfalse data reports via compromised nodes and launch DoS attacks against legitimate reports. Recently, a number of filtering schemes against false reports have been proposed. However, they either lack strong filtering capacity or cannot support highly dynamic sensor networks very well. Moreover, few of them can deal with DoS attacks simultaneous...

A growing body of literature has investigated whether the ability to contend with false belief (Wimmer and Perner 1983) is dependent upon the acquisition of the language that reports false beliefs (de Villiers, 2000, 2004, de Villiers and de Villiers 2000, de Villiers and Roeper (in prep)). de Villiers and her colleagues maintain that certain linguistic developments are precursors to a child’s ...

These are called the "backward diffusion equation" and the "forward diffusion equation" respectively, the latter being sometimes called the Fokker-Planck's equation. In these equations, the symmetric contravariant tensor bif(x) is assumed to be such that the quadratic form bij(x)ppj is, for ^< £?>0, greater than 0 in R and a{(x) is assumed to obey, in the coordinate change x—*x, the transformat...
