Motor primitive is one of the keys for human behavior generation and motor control with enormous degree of freedom of human body. Our purpose in this paper is to present a cognitive developmental scenario of motor primitives acquisition from the interaction between the body and the surrounding environments with cognitive properties of infants. The hypothesized scenario is that (1) infants explo...

Summary In this study, the seismic performance of hexagrid structures which are composed of horizontal and vertical hexagrid by using a transitional story, has been investigated. To this end, 10 models of 50-story hexagrid structures were designed. 9 models with horizontal hexagrid cells which transited to vertical cells using a transitional story, and a model of completely horizontal hexagrid ...

The processes of infant word segmentation and infant word learning have largely been studied separately. However, the ease with which potential word forms are segmented from fluent speech seems likely to influence subsequent mappings between words and their referents. To explore this process, we tested the link between the statistical coherence of sequences presented in fluent speech and infant...

background: the present study was undertaken to investigate the correlation of epidermal growth factor receptor (egfr) expression with grade of transitional cell carcinoma (tcc). methods: tumor samples of 75 patients from mostafa khomaini hospital with transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder were analyzed by immunohistochemistry for expression of egfr. in this context, we assigned the bladde...

There is large evidence that infants are able to exploit statistical cues to discover the words of their language. However, how they proceed to do so is the object of enduring debates. The prevalent position is that words are extracted from the prior computation of statistics, in particular the transitional probabilities between syllables. As an alternative, chunk-based models posit that the se...

the length and structure of the transitional zone in the tunica media in the renal artery of adult male cats were investigated. in addition, the volume of the lumen and different layers in transitional and nontransitional zones in the right and left sides were also determined. morphometrical, histological and stereological studies were performed on 16 renal arteries of 8 adult male cats. after ...

We developed nomograms to predict disease recurrence in patients with Ta, T1 transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder. Thirty-eight training hospitals participated in this retrospective multicenter study. Between 1998 and 2002, a total of 1,587 patients with newly diagnosed non-muscle invasive bladder cancer were enrolled in this study. Patients with prior histories of bladder cancer, non-tra...

This study investigates whether infants are sensitive to backward and forward transitional probabilities within temporal and spatial visual streams. Two groups of 8-month-old infants were familiarized with an artificial grammar of shapes, comprising backward and forward base pairs (i.e. two shapes linked by strong backward or forward transitional probability) and part-pairs (i.e. two shapes wit...
