We recently read with great interest the article by Hickson and Byrne entitled "Consonant perception in quiet: effect of increasing the consonantvowel ratio with compression amplification" (1997) . The article represents a well-thought-out attempt to address a very complex question : Can increasing the CVR by compression increase speech intelligibility for hearing-impaired listeners? In reading...

This paper deals with the split feasibility problem that requires to find a point closest to a closed convex set in one space such that its image under a linear transformation will be closest to another closed convex set in the image space. By combining perturbed strategy with inertial technique, we construct an inertial perturbed projection algorithm for solving the split feasibility problem. ...

Haemorrhagic necrosis of the small intestine has been described in association with numerous clinical conditions (Berger and Byrne, 1961; Marston, 1962; McGovern and Goulton, 1965). It has also been recorded following open-heart surgery for correction of aortic incompetence (Robertson and Dodds, 1964). Up to 31 January 1967 a total of 168 valve replacements had been carried out at this hospital...

Three experiments with a probabilistic truth-table evaluation task suggest that most people interpret conditionals as asserting a high conditional probability of the consequent, given the antecedent. A minority seems to endorse an interpretation in terms of a single explicit mental model (Johnson-Laird & Byrne, 1991). There was no evidence that a substantive number of people interpret condition...

Dementia with cortical Lewy bodies (LBD) was first described by Okazaki et al in 1961 and is now recognised as a relatively common cause of the dementia syndrome. The true prevalence of LBD is unknown. In post-mortem studies of patients diagnosed as having dementia in life, the mean frequency of Lewy body dementia is 12.5% (Byrne, 1997). Clinically diagnosed LBD (using operational clinical crit...
