OBJECTIVE Anomalous planum temporale asymmetry has been linked to both schizophrenia and dyslexia. The authors examined the planum temporale of adolescents with childhood-onset schizophrenia who had a high rate of prepsychotic language disorders. METHOD Planum temporale area and asymmetry were measured in 16 right-handed adolescent patients with schizophrenia who had experienced onset of psyc...

We recently reported that direct subjective ratings of the sense of presence are potentially unstable and can be biased by previous judgments of the same stimuli (Freeman et al., 1999). Objective measures of the behavioral realism elicited by a display offer an alternative to subjective ratings. Behavioral measures and presence are linked by the premise that, when observers experience a mediate...

coronary arteriography to assure that an adequate study has been obtained. Failure to recognize and properly demonstrate the anomaly can be hazardous to patient management. Two angiographic signs have proved reliable in recognizing the anomalous artery before its selective demonstration. These signs are a profile view of the artery behind the aortic root during left ventriculography (the -aorti...

Pulmonary sequestration is defined as a mass of lung tissue separated from the tracheobronchial tree and irrigated by an anomalous systemic artery. It is rarely seen in conjunction with lung neoplasms. We report the case of a 39-year-old female patient diagnosed with a carcinoid tumor, located in the intermediate bronchus and accompanied by bronchiectasis in the right lower lobe. The patient un...

the study area covers the northern part of the baft geological map (scale of 1:100 000 ). several porphyry and vein-type mineralization are reported from this area. a topic that is discussed in the mineral exploration community is the use of remote sensing and airborne geophysics for porphyry type mineralization. which one is more reliable and efficient in hydrothermal alteration mapping? airbo...

During the dissection of a cadaver an anomalous infrahyoid muscle was discovered. This was unlike those variations of the infrahyoid muscles described previously.`~The anomalous muscle is classified as a cleidohyoid muscle because it arose from the clavicle and inserted on the hyoid bone. The previous reports2"'5 of anomalous cleidohyoid-type muscles are general descriptions which lack diagrams...

Measurements of protein motion in living cells and membranes consistently report transient anomalous diffusion (subdiffusion) which converges back to a Brownian motion with reduced diffusion coefficient at long times, after the anomalous diffusion regime. Therefore, slowed-down Brownian motion could be considered the macroscopic limit of transient anomalous diffusion. On the other hand, membran...

Anomaly separation using stream sediment geochemical data has an essential role in regional exploration. Many different techniques have been proposed to distinguish anomalous from study area. In this research, a continuous restricted Boltzmann machine (CRBM), which is a generative stochastic artificial neural network, was used to recognize the mineral potential area in Korit 1:100000 sheet, loc...

Psychological approaches to the study of presence are limited, and those with experimental support even more limited. This work is an attempt to highlight the human factors involved which may lead to a better understanding of individual differences in relation to the experience of presence. We investigated the relationship between four cognitive factors namely absorption, creative imagination, ...
