The present paper investigates the syntactic abilities of a group of individuals with Williams Syndrome to explore the debates surrounding the dissociation between language and cognition as well as possible dissociations within the language module in this population. Experimental linguistic measures that assess interpretation of passives, pronouns and reflexives as well as elicitation and compr...

A number of mixing rules are proposed in the literature to predict the dependence of effective material parameters (permittivity and permeability) of composites on frequency and concentration. However, the existing mixing rules for frequency dependence of permeability in magnetic composites typically do not provide satisfactory agreement with measured data. Herein, a simple mixing rule is propo...

A new set of open-channel flow experiments and turbulence resolved data are presented in heavy particle sheet flows (Shields number 0.35???0.85) for which the proportions bedload suspended load both important (ratio settling velocity friction range 0.8?ws/u*?1.3). The effects sediments particularly on turbulent suspension have been addressed by gradually increasing concentration from clear wate...

PURPOSE To evaluate changes in the physicochemical properties, water sorption (WS), solubility (SO), modulus of elasticity (E), ultimate tensile strength (UTS), and microhardness (MH) tests were undertaken in zinc-doped dental adhesives. METHODS Two bonding resins, Adper Single Bond Plus (SB) and Clearfil SE Bond (SEB), were zinc-doped by mixing them with 5, 10 or 20 wt% of ZnO powder, or wit...

A comprehensive model has been developed for calculating the viscosity of aqueous or mixed-solvent electrolyte systems ranging from dilute solutions to fused salts. The model incorporates a mixing rule for calculating the viscosity of solvent mixtures and a method for predicting the effect of finite electrolyte concentrations. The mixing rule represents the viscosity of multi-component solvent ...

Convex sparsity-promoting regularizations are ubiquitous in modern statistical learning. By construction, they yield solutions with few non-zero coefficients, which correspond to saturated constraints in the dual optimization formulation. Working set (WS) strategies are generic optimization techniques that consist in solving simpler problems that only consider a subset of constraints, whose ind...

It is shown that the Coulomb energy U of fully ionized ionic mixture can be written as a sum over partial contributions of ion species j: U = T ∑ j Nju(Γj , yj) (generalized linear mixing rule). In contrast to the traditional linear mixing rule ULM = T ∑ j NjuOCP(Γj), applicable for strong coupling, the partial contribution function u depends not only on Γj , but on an additional parameter yj =...

A “Λ selection rule” for N∗ resonances in the presence of QCD mixing effects is identified. Due to the QCD mixing, excitations of 20-plets are possible in SU(6). We show that this selection rule is useful for classifying PDG states at N = 2, and for clarifying whether strongly correlated diquarks survive for
