In the present work, the architecture of a knowledge-based free-text response assessment system is presented, which can assess free-text responses on open-ended questions based on text comprehension theories. Its main advantages are the facts of extending the knowledge base and assessing responses on questions of different types. It is constituted from three basic modules: The first module is t...

The concept of catatonia was first described by Kahlbaum (1874). Catatonic stupor is one of the most dramatic psychiatric presentations, but is becoming increasingly rare in the Western world. However, it has been suggested that catatonia is under-recognised and under-diagnosed (Van der Heijden et al, 2005). Although the introduction of antipsychotics has reduced the incidence of catatonia, it ...

This paper presents a new simulation method to make global network inference from sampled data. The proposed simulation method takes sampled ego network data and uses Exponential Random Graph Models (ERGM) to reconstruct the features of the true, unknown network. After describing the method, the paper presents two validity checks of the approach: the first uses the 20 largest Add Health network...

the one-dimensional model of lippincott and schroeder for hydrogen bond has been re-examined and it has been shown that o-h bond distance depends on repulsive van der waals and attractive electrostatic potentials.it has been shown that constant b in the van der waals repulsion potential is not transferable to all hydrogen bonds. the possibility of obtaining the semi-empircal parameters in the l...

We previously defined collagories essentially as “distributive allegories without zero morphisms”. Collagories are sufficient for accommodating the relation-algebraic approach to graph transformation, and closely correspond to the adhesive categories important for the categorical DPO approach to graph transformation. Heindel and Sobociński have recently characterised the Van-Kampen colimits use...

In this paper a new image completion algorithm, specifically designed to work with building textures, is proposed. It uses high periodicity, inherent to building textures, to estimate a floor size. The usage of this estimate speeds up image completion process, allowing dealing with high texture resolutions, and helps to capture the macrostructure of the texture. Results and some ideas for furth...

The current study compared the effects on comprehension and memory of learning via text versus learning via argument map. Argument mapping is a method of diagrammatic representation of arguments designed to simplify the reading of an argument structure and allow for easy assimilation of core propositions and relations. In the current study 400 undergraduate volunteers were presented with a colo...
