Solving partial differential equations results in a continuum of regular and irregular stencil computation implementations. In this paper, we use heat diffusion on a bar to show how regular and irregular stencil computations are related, and then illustrate five complicating issues that occur in implementing the continuum of regular and irregular stencil computations in full applications. These...

The generation of regular and irregular past tense verbs has been an important issue in cognitive science and has been used to advance different models of the organization of language in the brain. The dual-system view holds that the regular past tense forms are generated by a rule while irregular forms are retrieved from memory. The single-system view, on the other hand, holds that both forms ...

The Bounded Irregular Pyramid (BIP) is a hierarchical structure for image representation whose aim is to combine concepts from regular and irregular pyramids. The data structure is a combination of the simplest regular and irregular structures: the 2× 2/4 regular one and the simple graph representation. However, simple graphs only take into account adjacency relationships, being unable to corre...

A central question concerning word recognition is whether linguistic categories are processed in continuous or categorical ways, in particular, whether regular and irregular inflection is stored and processed by the same or by distinct systems. Here, we contribute to this issue by contrasting regular (regular stem, regular suffix) with semi-irregular (regular stem, irregular suffix) and irregul...

field observations of the incurred damages to the buildings and bridges due to earthquakes in near field show there are various failure modes which are in relation to the forces caused by vertical component. while vertical component of earthquake for ordinary buildings in most seismic regulations and standards is not considered. therefore, in the current study the effects of vertical and horizo...

Research strongly suggests that printed words are recognized in terms of their constituent morphemes, but researchers have tended to consider the recognition of derivations and inflections in separate theoretical debates. Recently, Crepaldi et al. (2010) proposed a theory that claims to account for the recognition of both derivations and inflections. We investigated brain potentials in the cont...
