The ability to associate a name to a face is a crucially relevant task in daily life. In this study, we investigated the neuronal basis of face-name retrieval in young subjects using repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) over the left or right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC). The experimental task was composed of two study phases: an encoding phase and a retrieval phase. Du...

Non-sentential utterances (NSUs) are utterances that lack a complete sentential form but whose meaning can be inferred from the dialogue context, such as “OK”, “where?”, “probably at his apartment”. The interpretation of non-sentential utterances is an important problem in computational linguistics since they constitute a frequent phenomena in dialogue and they are intrinsically context-depende...

One of the many challenges hindering the global response to the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) epidemic is the difficulty of collecting reliable information about the populations most at risk for the disease. Thus, the authors empirically assessed a promising new method for estimating the sizes of most at-risk populations: the network scale-up metho...

It is sometimes unclear whether the presentation of one or more case studies constitutes education or research. It is generally well accepted that case studies presentations made in classroom settings or in the on-line equivalent of a classroom setting constitute education. Such cases need to follow HIPAA privacy rules for consent and require use of the NSU Disclosure for Educational and Relate...

in the present study lactic acid production was enhanced by optimizing the three process variables viz; inoculum size, temperature and ph using three factor five level ccrd (central composite rotatable design) by lactobacillus delbruckii under smf (submerged fermentation process). paneer (dairy by-product) whey was used as sole substrate for lactic acid production. design expert 8.0.2.0 softwar...
