This paper describes our submission to the sentiment analysis sub-task of “Build It, Break It: The Language Edition (BIBI)”, on both the builder and breaker sides. As a builder, we use convolutional neural nets, trained on both phrase and sentence data. As a breaker, we use Q-learning to learn minimal change pairs, and apply a token substitution method automatically. We analyse the results to g...

A comparison of bimodal hearing and bilateral cochlear implants (CIs) was completed using a within-subjects, repeated-measures study for eight adult sequential recipients who despite achieving incredibly high performance with the first CI, self-selected for bilateral implantation. Speech understanding was assessed with the minimum speech test battery (MSTB) as well as sentences in semi-diffuse ...

Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are known to influence plant growth by various director indirect mechanisms. Thirty–two strains were isolated from 15 soils sampled in central Iran, byusing and comparing three different methods. The screening of soil samples by means of soil paste–plate method combined with isolation on mannitol agar proved to be the best strategy in terms ofreliabil...

OBJECTIVE To compare speech understanding with bimodal hearing and bilateral cochlear implants (CIs). STUDY DESIGN Within-subjects, repeated-measures. METHODS Speech understanding was assessed in the following conditions: unilateral hearing aid (HA) in the non-implanted ear, unilateral CI, bimodal (CI + HA), and bilateral CI. In addition, three participants had bilateral hearing preservatio...

Cotton is exceptionally sensitive to high temperature during reproductive development, with a negative correlation existing between high temperatures during flowering and yield (Oosterhuis, 2002). Furthermore, reproductive thermosensitivity in cotton is closely associated with the photosynthetic thermosensitivity of the subtending leaf (Snider et al., 2009). For example, high temperature is kno...
