Bilingual children are regularly exposed to code-switching, a linguistic phenomenon consisting of mixing two languages within the same context (Byers-Heinlein, 2013a). Studies have demonstrated that adults are slower to process code-switched language (Grainger & O’regan, 1992), and preliminary studies testing intra-sentential switches (“Where is the chien?”) found similar results with toddlers ...

With the growing popularity of bandwidth demanding services such as HDTV, VoD, and video conferencing applications, there is an increasing demand on broadband access. To meet this demand, the access networks are evolving from the traditional DSL (xDSL more recently) and cable techniques to a new generation of fiber-based access techniques. While EPONs and GPONs have been the most studied passiv...

the direct torque control (dtc) of interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (ipmsm) offers simple structure and fast torque response. the conventional switching table-based dtc (st-dtc) presents some disadvantages like high torque and flux ripple and also variable switching frequency. this paper investigates the improved st-dtc strategies to reduce both torque and flux ripple in dtc of ipmsm...

We present a statistical-mechanical analysis of the positioning of nucleosomes along one of the chromosomes of yeast DNA as a function of the strength of the binding potential and of the chemical potential of the nucleosomes. We find a significant density of twolevel nucleosome switching regions where, as a function of the chemical potential, the nucleosome distribution undergoes a “micro” firs...

Gene-specific repeat instability is responsible for >36 human diseases. Active instability varies in a tissue-, developmental stage- and locus-specific manner and occurs in both proliferative and non-proliferative cells. In proliferative cells, DNA replication can contribute to repeat instability either by switching the direction of replication, which changes the repeat sequence that serves as ...

In this paper we derive general results concerning the optimal switching level in the problem of the optimal relocation policy for a firm that faces two types of uncertainty: one about the moments in which new (and more efficient) sites will become available; and the other regarding the degree of efficiency improvement inherent to each one of these new, yet to be known, potential location place...

We aim at the realization of automatic contents production system of commentary soccer video based on digital shooting technique which is composed of digital camera work and digital switching technique. The digital camera work is defined as virtual panning and virtual zooming. the virtual panning is a video production technique of clipping a size fixed frame by controlling frame location on a h...

Abstract The article links the digital records of individual proprietors in manuscript censuses 1851–81 for whole England and Wales using BBCE database to identify career changes employers own account proprietors. It investigates continuing proprietorship, entry business from previous activity, switching out business. identifies effects on demography, gender, household relationships, sector mar...

Task representations consist of different aspects such as the representations of the relevant stimuli, the abstract rules to be applied, and the actions to be performed. To be flexible in our daily lives, we frequently need to switch between some or all aspects of a task. In the present study, we examined whether switching between abstract task rules and switching between response hands is asso...
