Judah and Shelah [3] proved that countable support iterations of proper forcings preserve the ω-bounding property (see 2.2 here). In his book Proper and Improper Forcing [8, XVIII §3] Shelah gave several cases of general preservation theorems for proper countable support iterations (the proofs tend to be hard to digest, though). In this paper we deal with “Case A”. A simplified version of this ...

Endocrine disorders may some time be accompanied by prominent mental abnormalities.

Much has been learned over the past 25 years about how attention influences neuronal responses to stimuli in the visual cortex of monkeys and humans. The most recent studies have used parametric manipulations of stimulus attributes such as orientation, direction of motion, and contrast to elucidate the form of the attentional mechanism. The results of these studies do not always agree. However,...

Cohen's [Cohen, R. (1993). The Neuropsychology of Attention. New York: Plenum Publishing] model of attention proposes four interrelated processes, namely Sensory Selective Attention, Response Selection/Control, Focus/Capacity, and Sustained Attention. Though this model has been supported in patient samples, it has not been examined in a healthy adult cohort. Using Principal Components Analysis,...

In this paper, we report our participation in Knowledge Base Population at TAC 2012. We adopted an Information Retrieval based approach for the Entity Linking and Slot Filling tasks. In Entity Linking we identify potential nodes from the Knowledge Base and then identify the mapping node using tf-idf similarity. We achieved very good performance in the Entity Linking task. For Slot Filling task ...
