This paper presents a method for automatically generating an association thesaurus from a text corpus, and demonstrates its application to information retrieval. The thesaurus generation method .consists of extracting tenns and co-occurrence data from a corpus and analyzing the correlation between terms statistically. A new method for disambiguating the structure of compound nouns, which is a k...

Retrieval of previously self-generated events in the form of verbal associations was observed to be mood-state dependent in individuals who cycled between states of mania and normality. Recall of associations was more complete during periods of relatively stable mood, including periods of mania, compared to the reproduction of associations that were generated and retrieved during periods of dis...

The DLR-funded project “Integration of remote sensing data in operational water balance and flood forecasting systems” (InFerno) has been originated to establish an operational synergy of remote sensing and flood forecasting. Upon availability, InFerno intends to make excessive use of ENVISAT ASAR data, which will provide microwave imagery at a specifically appropriate spatial and temporal reso...

• Trait emotional intelligence predicts the number of emotion words retrieved. Negligible effect working memory capacity on retrieval words. Valence effects are less language -dependent and more psychologically -dependent. Common salient in L1 L2; predominance positive Negative link between trait intelligence. Cognition interrelated concepts. However, very little is known about relation (WMC) (...

In our current research project about electronic designs the problem to retrieve attribute dependent generalized cases occurs. This kind of cases cover an arbitrary subspace rather than a point in the space, spanned by the cases attributes and by a set of constraints. For such representations, the similarity assessment between a point query and generalized cases is a difficult problem for which...

Co-occurrence analysis has been used to determine related words or terms in many NLP-related applications such as query expansion in Information Retrieval (IR). However, related words are usually determined with respect to a single word, without relevant information for its application context. For example, the word “programming” may be considered to be strongly related to “Java”, and applied i...

Signaling receptors dynamically exit cilia upon activation of signaling pathways such as Hedgehog. Here, we find that when activated G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) fail to undergo BBSome-mediated retrieval from cilia back into the cell, these GPCRs concentrate into membranous buds at the tips of cilia before release into extracellular vesicles named ectosomes. Unexpectedly, actin and the a...

Retrieval labilizes memory traces and these gates two protein synthesis-dependent processes in the brain: extinction, which inhibits further retrieval, and reconsolidation, which may enhance retrieval or change its content. Extinction may itself suffer reconsolidation. Interactions among these processes may be applied to treatments of fear memories, such as those underlying post-traumatic stres...

Following exocytosis, synaptic vesicles (SVs) have to be reformed with the correct complement of proteins in the correct stoichiometry to ensure continued neurotransmission. Synaptophysin is a highly abundant, integral SV protein necessary for the efficient retrieval of the SV SNARE protein, synaptobrevin II (sybII). However the molecular mechanism underpinning synaptophysin-dependent sybII ret...
