BACKGROUND Empathizing is a specific component of social cognition. Empathizing is also specifically impaired in autism spectrum condition (ASC). These are two dimensions, measurable using the Empathy Quotient (EQ) and the Autism Spectrum Quotient (AQ). ASC also involves strong systemizing, a dimension measured using the Systemizing Quotient (SQ). The present study examined the relationship bet...

This paper concerns with the study of EGG (electroglottalgram by laryngograph) model of ditoneme in Mandarin. The parameters for establishing models are fundamental frequency (F0), which is regarded as reference, speed quotient and open quotient, which are all extracted from the EGG signal by using the software EGG.exe, an option of CSL, Model 4300B, KAY. The result shows that speed quotient an...

We comment on the conformal boundary states of the c=1 free boson theory on a circle which do not preserve the U(1) symmetry. We construct these Virasoro boundary states at a generic radius by a simple asymmetric shift orbifold acting on the fundamental boundary states at the self-dual radius. We further calculate the boundary entropy and find that the Virasoro boundary states at irrational rad...

We prove that a space is quotient π-image of a locally separable metric space if and only if it has a πand double cs∗cover. We also investigate quotient π-s-images of locally separable metric spaces.
