The significance of extravascular coagulation and fibrinolysis is poorly understood and little appreciated. A unique opportunity for studying these events is provided in arthritis where the joint fluids may reflect the presence and extent of inflammation. This report on 144 pathological fluids expands our knowledge of the biochemistry of inflammation. Further, it may provide a more instructive ...

We devised and tested two new visual guides to help users comprehend distorted sketched information in magnification lenses. Distortion techniques, such as fisheye lenses, have the advantage of magnifying information without occluding the surrounding content. However distorted information in the transition region requires extra mental workload to understand: this can lead to frustration and rej...

CASTING THE NET WIDE The current consensus definition provides a broad clinicopathological description of concussion. It encompasses the wide range of clinical presentations that result from traumatic forces transmitted to the brain. In its most literal interpretation, any post-traumatic symptom or sign fits the definition of concussion. Consequently, the current definition has high sensitivity...

Although the neurocognitive mechanisms of nonaffective language comprehension have been studied extensively, relatively less is known about how the emotional meaning of language is processed. In this study, electrophysiological responses to affectively positive, negative, and neutral words, presented within nonconstraining, neutral contexts, were evaluated under conditions of explicit evaluatio...

The purpose of this study is to examine readers’ comprehension as they develop their mental representation of reference in four sequential online texts. A total of 92 college students from three reading classes were recruited to complete the following steps in each text: (1) identify references, (2) draw the relationships between references, and (3) answer reading comprehension test items. Resu...

Distributed applications rely on packet-switched networks to connect their various elements. This paper describes a technique that can help software engineers and network administrators characterize and detect unfamiliar networked applications by matching them to a single, or a combination of several, analogous and familiar networked application(s). This matching is based on the size distributi...

This research concerns the distinction between processes in sentence comprehension and those in sentence memory. Comprehension was monitored by timing subjects while they decided whether a sentence was true or false of their knowledge of the world. The memory process was tapped by examining subjects' incidental memory for the sentences they had previously verified. The verification latencies in...
