Word Processing in Scene Context : An Event-Related Potential Study in Young Children
2017
Semantic priming has been demonstrated in object or word contexts in toddlers. However, less is known about semantic priming in scene context. In this study, 24-month-olds with high and low vocabulary skills were presented with visual scenes (e.g., kitchen) followed by semantically consistent (e.g., spoon) or inconsistent (e.g., bed) spoken words. Inconsistent scene-word pairs evoked a larger N400 component over the frontal areas. Low-producers presented a larger N400 over the right while high-producers over the left frontal areas. Our results suggest that contextual information facilitates word processing in young children. Additionally, children with different linguistic skills activate d…
In vivo versus augmented reality exposure in the treatment of small animal phobia: A randomized controlled trial
2016
Although in vivo exposure is the treatment of choice for specific phobias, some acceptability problems have been associated with it. Virtual Reality exposure has been shown to be as effective as in vivo exposure, and it is widely accepted for the treatment of specific phobias, but only preliminary data are available in the literature about the efficacy of Augmented Reality. The purpose of the present study was to examine the efficacy and acceptance of two treatment conditions for specific phobias in which the exposure component was applied in different ways: In vivo exposure (N = 31) versus an Augmented Reality system (N = 32) in a randomized controlled trial. “One-session treatment” guidel…
Art and Science in Word and Image
2019
Art and Science in Word and Image investigates the theme of ‘riddles of form’, exploring how discovery and innovation have functioned inter-dependently between art, literature and the sciences. Using the impact of evolutionary biologist D’Arcy Thompson’s On Growth and Form on Modernist practices as springboard into the theme, contributors consider engagements with mysteries of natural form in painting, photography, fiction, etc., as well as theories about cosmic forces, and other fields of knowledge and enquiry. Hence the collection also deals with topics including cultural inscriptions of gardens and landscapes, deconstructions of received history through word and image artworks and texts,…
Basic Mathematical Thinking
2016
Mathematics, from the Greek word “mathema”, is simply translated as science or expression of the knowledge.
Extraction of Medical Terms for Word Sense Disambiguation within Multilingual Framework
2016
All the languages belonging to the same language family have a certain number of the common characteristics called language pair phenomena, which can be found quite useful for processing them for multilingual purposes like translation across the cognate languages, building dictionaries, thesauri, transcript collections, or for multilingual text retrieval of digital documents. In addition, it is estimated that more than 30% of English vocabulary has been inherited from Latin, which has dominated medical terminology in particular. We use this fact by exploring word sense disambiguation (WSD) in multilingual environment. Specifically in the medical domain, language pair phenomena can be limite…
Word search sequences in teacher-student interaction in an English as medium of instruction context
2019
This study explores the ways students in a higher education setting engage in word searches. The investigation draws on 30-hour video recordings of content classes in an English as a medium of instruction university in Turkey. Using conversation analysis, the study focuses on the interactionally accomplished functions of vocal and visual practices deployed by the students in the course of a word search. We revealed that word searches are constructed through publicly visible resources (i.e. gaze, body orientation, gestures) and explicit formulaic expressions (i.e. how can I say it?), and accomplished via bilingual resources. It was also observed that the teacher does not orient to word searc…

Viva voce: Voice and Voicelessness among Twelfth-Century Clerics
2015
Writing in his Summa on Gratian’s Decretum1 toward 1164, canonist Rufinus of Bologna2 evokes criminal prelates, saying, “vocem accusandi, reprehendi, docendi non habent” (they do not have a voice to accuse, punish, teach).3 Should this enumeration be understood as a commonplace statement about three possible functions of the voice, or should we suspect a set of deeper associations? Is Rufinus’s use of the word “voice” simply an alternative to other rhetorical or stylistic possibilities—such as the word “word” in particular—or is it truly a deliberate choice on the part of the canonist?
Concept and Development of Modular VLIW Processor Based on FPGA
2010
Modern FPGA chips, with their larger memory capacity and reconfigurability potential, are opening new frontiers in rapid prototyping of embedded systems. With the advent of high density FPGAs it is now possible to implement a high performance VLIW processor core in an FPGA. Architecture based on Very Long Instruction Word (VLIW) processors are an optimal choice in the attempt to obtain high performance level in embedded system. In VLIW architecture, the effectiveness of these processors depends on the ability of compilers to provide sufficient instruction level parallelism(ILP) in program code. Using advanced compiler technology could take these functions, This paper describes research resu…
Multiple modular very long instruction word processors based on field programmable gate arrays
2007
Modern field programmable gate array (FPGA) chips, with their large memory capacity and reconfigurability potential, are opening new frontiers in rapid prototyping of embedded systems. With the advent of high-density FPGAs, it is now possible to implement a high-performance very long instruction word (VLIW) processor core in an FPGA. This paper describes research results about enabling the DSP TMS320 C6201 model for real-time image processing applications by exploiting FPGA technology. We present a modular DSP C6201 VHDL model with a variable instruction set. We call this new development a minimum mandatory modules (M3) approach. Our goals are to keep the flexibility of DSP in order to shor…
