Phonological priming between spoken words was examined using CVCVC bisyllabic pseudoword primes and word or pseudoword targets. The influence of different types of overlap was compared, prime and target sharing the coda, the rime or the final syllable. The task was target shadowing. Two priming conditions were used, the auditory targets being preceded by auditory primes in unimodal and by visua...

which, again, we can solve using a Cauchy integral and (31). The problem of finding K± is more delicate. At first sight, we could take the logarithm of (33), giving logK+− logK− = logG. This looks similar to (31), but it usually happens that logG(t) is not continuous for all t ∈ C , which means that we cannot use (30). However, this difficulty can be overcome. The problem of finding K± such tha...

We present an algorithm to compute an approximate overlap of two convex polytopes P1 and P2 in R3 under rigid motion. Given any ε ∈ (0, 1/2], our algorithm runs in O(ε−3n log3.5 n) time with probability 1− n−O(1) and returns a (1− ε)-approximate maximum overlap, provided that the maximum overlap is at least λ ·max{|P1|, |P2|} for some given constant λ ∈ (0, 1]. 1998 ACM Subject Classification F...

In this work we extend to the interval-valued setting the notion of an overlap functions and we discuss a method which makes use of interval-valued overlap functions for constructing OWA operators with interval-valued weights. . Some properties of intervalvalued overlap functions and the derived interval-valued OWA operators are analysed. We specially focus on the homogeneity and migrativity pr...

We present a flexible analysis/synthesis tool for transient signals that extends current sinusoidal and sines+noise models for audio to sines+transients+noise. The explicit handling of transients provides a more realistic and robust signal model. Because the transient model presented is the frequency domain dual to sinusoidal modeling, it has similar flexibility and allows for a wide range of t...

We present improvements to our incremental proposition-based summariser, which is inspired by Kintsch and van Dijk’s (1978) text comprehension model. Argument overlap is a central concept in this summariser. Our new model replaces the old overlap method based on distributional similarity with one based on lexical chains. We evaluate on a new corpus of 124 summaries of educational texts, and sho...

We construct a sequence of convex polyhedra on n vertices with the property that, as n→∞, the fraction of its edge unfoldings that avoid overlap approaches 0, and so the fraction that overlap approaches 1. Nevertheless, each does have (several) nonoverlapping edge unfoldings.

Data contained in a 1982 paper were analyzed in terms of relevance odds of common items retrieved by searching any two content-bearing search fields. While the 1982 study compared the relative retrieval performance of 7 search fields, the present study shows that duplicate documents retrieved by the use of terms from any two of the fields would have higher odds of being judged relevant than tho...
