Balance Properties and Distribution of Squares in Circular Words
2008
We study balance properties of circular words over alphabets of size greater than two. We give some new characterizations of balanced words connected to the Kawasaki-Ising model and to the notion of derivative of a word. Moreover we consider two different generalizations of the notion of balance, and we find some relations between them. Some of our results can be generalised to non periodic infinite words as well.
Periodic Orbits in the Isosceles Three-Body Problem
1991
The Saturn’s satellites Janus and Epimetheus are the first known bodies in the Solar System that has horseshoe orbits in a frame that rotates with uniform angular velocity. Both satellites have similar masses and orbital elements when they are far from one another. Moreover, their orbits are nearly symmetric. In fact, in the past, they have been identify as a unique satellite and afterwards, some mathematical theories about their orbits has been necessaries to understand why they do not collide. In particular, the interest in planar three-body problem with two small masses has increased6. We assume that the two small masses have similar symmetric initial conditions. The aim of this paper is…
Null Effect of Set Size in Lexical Decision
1995
The effect of set size indicates that recall of a word is greater when its cue is associated with fewer words. This study was designed to replicate this result with lexical decisions of 18 students. In spite of obtaining the set-size effect with cue recall, it was not observed with lexical decision.
The Development of Spatial Location in Finnish
1991
Abstract The purpose of this research was to study the shift from mono- to bi-referential spatial location in the language of Finnish children. Monoreferential location is based on the intrinsic properties of a referent object and the proximity relationship, and bireferential location requires coordinated spatial relationships involving referent objects and a projective relationship. Locative expressions which are monoreferential include: in/on/under and intrinsic front/back, and those which are bireferential include deictic front/back and between. A pictorial representation of locative relationships with a sentence-picture matching task was used to present the mono- vs bi-referential contr…
Comment on: A critical analysis of the internal logic in the Life-Space Assessment (LSA) composite score and suggested solutions
2016
Background:An individual’s ability to live independently is commonly measured in health research interested in identifying risk factors associated with disablement processes. In order to inform clinical practice, population research has attempted to identify the contraction of “lived-space” by using various survey instruments.Problem:Studies assessing habitual movements over the environment with the Life-Space Assessment (LSA) survey instrument should carefully consider how the LSA Composite Score (LSA-CS) is computed. Until now, no publication has carefully delineated the assumptions guiding the internal logic used in the computation of the LSA-CS.Core argument:Because the internal logic o…
Search and Comprehension Processes in Learning from Text
2008
We analyzed the relationships between comprehension skill and search strategies in instructional text. In two experiments, college-level readers were asked to search a computer-presented science text in order to answer different types of questions. High level questions required the integration of information across paragraphs, whereas low level questions requested the localization of information within a single paragraph. High level questions were re-read more often and they resulted in broader text search patterns. Furthermore, students who were diagnosed as good comprehenders located relevant sections of the text faster and spent more time on those sections. Poor comprehenders, on the oth…
L'estrazione automatica dei ruoli semantici corradicali. The importance of being Cognate
2022
This study will introduce a tool – termed NLPYTALY – for the automatictreatment of naturally-occurring texts in Italian. The tool distinguishesconstructs with an ordinary verb from those with a support verb. Mean-ing is rendered by using cognate (i.e. etymologically related) semantic roles (CSR), which differ from other roles because they are expressed withthe content morpheme of the predicate licensing arguments. CSRs offer anumber of advantages: they can be semi-automatically derived and use the who-does-what model. Besides, they facilitate the detection of anaphoric chains and produce a foreground/background opposition of the namedentities. Finally, they permit the construction of a chro…
Detecting Bridge Anaphora
2017
The paper presents one of most important issues in natural language processing (NLP), namely the automated recognition of semantic relations (in this case, bridge anaphora). In this sense, we propose to recognize automatically, as accurately as possible, this type of relations in a literary corpus (the novel Quo Vadis), knowing that the diversity and complexity of relations between entities is impressive. Furthermore, we defined and classified the bridge anaphora type relations based on annotation conventions. In order to achieve the main goal, we developed a computational instrument, BAT (Bridge Anaphora Tool), currently still in a test (and implicitly an improvable) version. This study is…
Exploring Lightweight Deep Learning Solution for Malware Detection in IoT Constraint Environment
2022
The present era is facing the industrial revolution. Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication paradigm is becoming prevalent. Resultantly, the computational capabilities are being embedded in everyday objects called things. When connected to the internet, these things create an Internet of Things (IoT). However, the things are resource-constrained devices that have limited computational power. The connectivity of the things with the internet raises the challenges of the security. The user sensitive information processed by the things is also susceptible to the trusability issues. Therefore, the proliferation of cybersecurity risks and malware threat increases the need for enhanced security in…
Una Aportación A La Lingüística: Los Sonidos Del Habla Y Su Organización Funcional
2007
The aim of this paper is to make a contribution to the study of the functional organization of phonological units, by assuming the theoretical and methodological perspective of mathematical Chaos Theory. Indexes of structuration and redundancy of the systems that contain these kinds of units are defined and a sample of languages is analyzed following this criterion. The treatment of the data in statistical terms, i.e. the number of phonological units of a language, indexes of structuration and the relationship between the number of phonological units and indexes of structuration, reveals a meaningful distance to normal distribution. The treatment of the data by means of Lyapunov test permit…
