We establish a natural translation from word rewriting systems to strictly positive polymodal logics. Thereby, the latter can be considered as a generalization of the former. As a corollary we obtain examples of undecidable strictly positive normal modal logics. The translation has its counterpart on the level of proofs: we formulate a natural deep inference proof system for strictly positive l...

Recent evidence from neuroscience indicates that the anticipation of external rewards may enhance declarative memory consolidation by increasing dopaminergic-modulated plasticity in the hippocampus. A number of studies in psychology, however, have shown that external rewards may have null, or even negative, effects on learning. To shed light on this issue, we developed a novel task, in which na...

Given a finite word u, we define its palindromic length |u|pal to be the least number n such that u = v1v2 . . . vn with each vi a palindrome. We address the following open question: Does there exist an infinite non ultimately periodic word w and a positive integer P such that |u|pal ≤ P for each factor u of w? In this note we give a partial answer to this question. Let k be a positive integer....

Most of the existing machine translations are based on word-for-word translation. The major obstacle in developing such a system is natural language is not free from ambiguity problems. One word may have more than one semantic, and vice versa. Herein, we propose a semantic-based Malay-English translation using an n-gram model. The Malay-English translation is not a word-for-word basis but is de...

We explored relationships between positive symptoms of schizophrenia and neurocognitive functions (language and memory). The semantic and phonemic associations among words produced in a verbal fluency task by 26 participants diagnosed with DSM-III-R schizophrenia were examined. Formal thought disorder was associated with producing fewer contextually related words and with producing more unrelat...

This study attempted to investigate writing problems and the relationship between expert-assessment and self-assessment of writing problems. Participants were thirty four non-English faculty members of Tehran and Guilan universities. The instruments were writing an essay on the topic "What teaching strategies do you use in your classes?" in twenty five lines and filling the questionnaire of wri...

OBJECTIVE This study examined whether specific types of positive and negative emotional words used in the autobiographies of well-known deceased psychologists were associated with longevity. METHODS For each of the 88 psychologists, the percent of emotional words used in writing was calculated and categorized by valence (positive or negative) and arousal (activated [e.g., lively, anxious] or ...

Green is a timely and crucial concept in sustainability; therefore, encouraging both public private businesses Malaysia to persistently promote make attempts put green practices into effect similarly crucial. The industry its environment are under pressure as result of acquisition, which still occurring at an alarming rate. Using the theory consumption values (TCV) underlying theory, this study...
