We explored if adolescents with Gilles de la Tourette syndrome (GTS) had functional postural control impairments and how these deficits are linked to a disturbance in the processing integration of sensory information. evaluated displacements center pressure (COP) during maximal leaning four directions (forward, backward, rightward, leftward) under three conditions (eyes open, eyes closed, close...

This paper addresses issues related to the design and implementation of robotic assembly tasks. Specifically, we consider automatic assembly systems with real-time visual sensing for the back shells of cellular phones. Typically, industrial assembly tasks are accomplished using either the look-then-move open-loop or the look-and-move closed-loop control approach. For either approach, successful...

let $s$ be a monoid. in this paper, we prove every class of $s$-acts having a flatness property is closed underdirected colimits, it extends some known results. furthermore thisresult implies that every $s$-act has a flatness cover if and only if it has a flatness precover.

We report on utterance veriication of puta-tive recognitions in both open-set and closed-set recognition tasks using telephone speech. For open-set recognition, we report on rejection of out-of-vocabulary utterances. In a two-keyword task (\male" and \female") using 50% out-of-vocabulary utterances, utterance veriication reduced errors by 60%, from 12% to 4.8% compared to our baseline rejection...

Clinical research requires a secure working environment for data management tasks. Traditionally, this was achieved by using closed systems not accessible via network communication. More recently, however, as research projects especially in the academic setting take on more distributed forms with partners working in different institutions and/or locations, closed environments may no longer be f...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a caffeine-containing "energy drink" on postural stability. Twenty-three young adult participants stood on a balance-measuring platform for two intervals of 30 seconds each, once with eyes open and once with eyes closed. Subjects performed the tasks before and 1 hour after consumption. Results showed no significant effect, either with ...

This paper presents HITS’ coreference resolution system that participated in the CoNLL2012 shared task on multilingual unrestricted coreference resolution. Our system employs a simple multigraph representation of the relation between mentions in a document, where the nodes correspond to mentions and the edges correspond to relations between the mentions. Entities are obtained via greedy cluster...

one of the most problematic areas in foreign language learning is collocation. it is often seen as arbitrary and an overwhelming obstacle to the achievement of nativelike fluency. current second language (l2) instruction research has encouraged the use of collaborative output tasks in l2 classrooms. this study examined the effects of two types of output tasks (editing and cloze) on the learning...
