The current study explores a set of variables that have the potential to predict semantic priming effects for 300 prime-target associates at the item level. Young and older adults performed either lexical decision (LDT) or naming tasks. A multiple regression procedure was used to predict priming based upon prime characteristics, target characteristics, and prime-target semantic similarity. Resu...

This is the report of a 38-year-old man with unilateral dermatomal hyperhidrosis documented by a starch-iodine technique; a subsequent diagnosis was made of a generalized pulmonary adenocarcinoma. The association of unilateral hyperhidrosis and a malignant tumor is reviewed.

This paper focuses on the technological characteristics of Keilmesser with a lateral tranchet blow modification on the cutting edge. It examines the underlying technological production of these bifacial objects: this implies the evaluation of their working stage succession, as well as produced forms necessary for the execution of tranchet blow performance. Furthermore, it offers a techno-morpho...

The response properties and receptive field organization of 106 LSA neurons were investigated in pretrigeminal preparations using moving dark and bright stimuli with particular reference to the dynamic and static structure of receptive fields. About 61percent neurons revealed equal sensitivity to the motions of dark and bright stimuli. A majority of them had an ON-OFF static structure of recept...

A novel technique for estimating the rank of the trajectory matrix in the local subspace affinity (LSA) motion segmentation framework is presented. This new rank estimation is based on the relationship between the estimated rank of the trajectory matrix and the affinity matrix built with LSA. The result is an enhanced model selection technique for trajectory matrix rank estimation by which it i...

The relationship between the MMPI-2 restructured clinical scales and the original clinical scales was evaluated using an outpatient clinical sample (N = 150). Similar patterns of correlations to those reported by Tellegen et al. in 2003, such as high correlations between the restructured scales and their original scale counterparts and lower intercorrelations among the restructured scales than ...

Protodeborylation of triorganoboranes, usually carried out under mild reaction conditions using an excess of acetic acid, affords 1,5-dialkyl-3,7-dimethyl-4,8,9-trioxa-2,6-dioxonia-1,5-diboratabicyclo [3.3.1]nona-2,6-dienes OB(R)OC(Me)OB(R)OC(Me)O [1 (R = Et), 2 (R = cyclooctyl)]. Acetoxy(dialkyl)boranes and di(acetoxy)alkylboranes were not formed in an appreciable amount. Compounds 1 and 2 wer...

This article presents the current state of a work in progress, whose objective is to better understand the effects of factors that significantly influence the performance of latent semantic analysis (LSA). A difficult task, which consisted of answering (French) biology multiple choice questions, was used to test the semantic properties of the truncated singular space and to study the relative i...

The relationship between verbal mental representations and action, perception and emotion is discussed. It is argued that symbols are not directly grounded in the real world but are made meaningful because of their relationship with other symbols. Symbols are not defined by the real world, but symbols mirror the real world. An isomorphism exists between symbolic representations and the world of...
