The present study examined how the network science measure known as closeness centrality (which measures the average distance between a node and all other nodes in the network) influences lexical processing. In the mental lexicon, a word such as CAN has high closeness centrality, because it is close to many other words in the lexicon. Whereas, a word such as CURE has low closeness centrality be...

In this paper I present and defend a definition of vagueness, and draw out some consequences of accepting this definition. §1 asks what we should properly expect of a definition of vagueness, and §2 reviews existing definitions. §3 explains a key background notion necessary to an understanding of the definition to be presented here. §4 presents this definition, and §5 explains its advantages. §...

Although studies on RC beams under shear have a history record of more than 100 years, many important issues in this context still remain that have evaded attention. The aim of the current study is to study a number of these less investigated aspects of the behavior of RC beams under shear. For this purpose, and based on the modified compression field theory, a computer program has been writte...

Table 1. Location and spatial distribution of individual vibrissa intrinsic map peaks. ML: lateral distance of map peak relative to the horizontal midline passing through bregma point. RC: caudal distance of map peak relative to bregma. s.d.: standard deviation of the spread of mapped eIOS centroids after affine transformation (cf. figure 4b). s.d.: standard deviation of the spread of mapped eI...

In this paper, we investigate the multiple attribute decision making (MADM) problemsfor evaluating the archives websites’ performance with interval intuitionistic fuzzy information.Then,based on the TOPSIS method, calculation steps for solving MADM problems for evaluating thearchives websites’ performance with interval intuitionistic fuzzy information are given. The weightedHamming distances pr...

OBJECTIVE Galunisertib (LY2157299 monohydrate), an inhibitor of the transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) pathway, is currently under investigation in several clinical trials involving multiple tumor types. The primary objective of this study was to assess relative bioavailability of two new galunisertib formulations developed using the roller compaction (RC) dry-milled (RCD) and RC slurry-milled...

Evaluation of the competitiveness of high-tech industry is a technical decision-making issue involving multiple criteria. It is also a practical path to promote a country’s competitiveness. However, the competitiveness indicators in high-tech industry often act and react upon one another. Moreover, different dimensions and indicator weights also affect the evaluation results. In this paper, the...
