The case presented in this chapter is used to compare agrammatisms in speech and reading. The criteria for the diagnosis of deep dyslexia arc also explored and the examination procedure for establishing the location of the functional disorder is described. The main interest of the case. however, lies in the analysis of the morphological reading errors and in the determination of their linguisti...

BACKGROUND The CONSORT statement specifies the need for a balanced presentation of both benefits and harms of medical interventions in trial reports. However, invitations to screening and newspaper articles often emphasize benefits and downplay or omit harms, and it is known that scientific articles can be influenced by conflicts of interest. We wanted to determine if a similar imbalance occurs...

We shine a light on practical aspects of logic features in functional languages. Free variables, nondeterminism and encapsulated search turn out to be elegant and powerful means to express test-data generation. We present a lightweight, automated tool for specificationbased testing of declarative programs written in the functional logic programming language Curry and emphasize the usefulness of...

Functional logic languages extend the setting of functional programming by non-deterministic choices, free variables and narrowing. Most existing approaches to simulate logic features in functional languages do not preserve laziness, i.e., they can only model strict logic programming like in Prolog. Lazy functional logic programming however, has interesting properties supporting a more declarat...

This paper presents a robust textual entailment system using the principle of just noticeable difference in psychology, which we call a local graph matching-based system with active learning. First, although an early textual entailment task often involved two rather simple sentences of T (“Text”) and H (“Hypothesis”), the recent textual entailment task often involves multiple / complex / compou...

In this study, an easy synthesized method for preparation of chitosan/iron oxide nanocomposite as a bio-sorbent has been applied. Analytical techniques such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction; Field emission scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy were utilized to survey of morphological structure and the functional groups characterization. T...

Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) is damage to spinal cord, which is categorized according to the extent of functional loss, sensation loss and inability of the subjects to stand and walk. The patients use two transportation systems including orthosis and wheelchair. It was claimed that standing and walking bring some benefits such as decreasing bone osteoporosis, prevention of pressure sores, and impro...
