A failure of high level verbal response selection in progressive dynamic aphasia.
2005
Different theoretical interpretations have been offered in order to account for a specific language impairment termed dynamic aphasia. We report a patient (CH) who presented with a dynamic aphasia in the context of nonfluent progressive aphasia. CH had the hallmark of reduced spontaneous speech in the context of preserved naming, reading, and single word repetition and comprehension. Articulatory and grammatical difficulties were also present. CH had a very severe verbal generation impairment despite being able to describe pictorial scenes and action sequences well. In the experimental investigations CH was severely impaired in word, phrase, and sentence generation tasks when many competing…
Language Development and Symbolic Play in Children With and Without Familial Risk for Dyslexia
2001
The purposes of this study were to investigate (a) whether children in families with a positive history of dyslexia were more likely to show delays in language development than children without family risk and (b) whether a delayed onset of expressive language (late talking) predicted later language development. We analyzed the language development of 200 children longitudinally at 14, 24, 30, and 42 months and assessed their symbolic play at 14 months. Half of the children ( N =106) were from families with a history of dyslexia (the Dyslexia Risk [DR] group), and other children served as age-matched controls. Parental reports and structured tests were used to assess children’s receptive a…
“I am cobalt” Thérèse Moll
2020
Thérèse Moll (1934 - 1961), a little known but by no means secondary figure, is part of the history of visual communication design in which she left a brief but lasting trace. Moll is enrolled at the School of Arts and Crafts in Basel where she meets important designers and teachers including Armin Hoffman, Emil Ruder, Karl Gerstner and Antonio Boggeri. Still very young, she receives an invitation to be a visiting designer at MIT in Boston. At the beginning of 1959, Thérèse Moll arrives in the U.S.A. and during her four-month stay she works with Jacqueline S. Casey and Ralph Coburn at MIT’s Office of Publications, radically modifying the MIT communication, while at the same time introducing…
From UML State Machine Diagram into FPGA Implementation
2013
Abstract In the paper a method of using the Unified Modeling Language diagrams for specification of digital systems, especially logic controllers, is presented. The proposed method is based mainly on the UML state machine diagrams and uses Hierarchical Concurrent Finite State Machines (HCFSMs) as a temporary model. The paper shows a way to transform the UML diagrams to the form that is acceptable by reconfigurable FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Arrays). The UML specification is used to generate an effective program in Hardware Description Languages (HDLs), especially Verilog.
Transformations Between UML Diagrams
2003
The Unified Modeling Language (UML) provides various diagram types for describing a system from different perspectives or abstraction levels. Hence, UML diagrams describing the same system are dependent and strongly overlapping. In this paper we study how this can be exploited for specifying transformation operations between different diagram types. We discuss various general approaches and viewpoints of model transformations in UML. The source and target diagram types for useful transformations are analyzed and given categories. The potentially most interesting transformation operations are discussed in detail. It is concluded that the transformation operations can automate a substantial p…
Reduction of UML Class Diagrams
2002
One and the same “real world” can be modeled by different UML class diagrams, which in such a case can be considered “intuitively equivalent”. A formalization of this “intuitive equivalence” of class diagrams is proposed. An algorithm is constructed that for two class diagrams determines if they model the same “real world”. This algorithm can be used in CASE tools to compare alternative models of a system, and for diagram “compression” to facilitate understanding of large diagrams.
Unified Modeling Language
2005
Mature engineering disciplines are generally characterized by accepted methodical standards for describing all relevant artifacts of their subject matter. Such standards not only enable practitioners to collaborate, but they also contribute to the development of the whole discipline. In 1994, Grady Booch, Jim Rumbaugh, and Ivar Jacobson joined together to unify the plethora of existing object-oriented systems engineering approaches at semantic and notation level (Booch, 2002; Fowler, 2004; Rumbaugh, Jacobson, & Booch, 1998). Their effort led to the Unified Modeling Language (UML), a well-known, general-purpose, tool-supported, process-independent, and industry-standardized modeling lang…
Violenza sacrificale e disturbi della comunicazione nella Ifigenia in Aulide
2013
The article focuses on the verbal and visual communication disorders in Iphigeneia at Aulis by Euripides. The aim is to show that the alteration of looks and words is directly related to the impending sacrificial violence. And that, therefore, the violence is the cause of the interrupted communication between the characters of the tragedy.
Introduzione a culture visibili
2017
Culture visibili, ovvero spazi fisici e virtuali generati dalla stratificazione di storie, dall’accumulazione di significazioni e progetti, che diventano luoghi ideali in cui leggere e interpretare, in un continuo sistema dialettico, la memoria, le narrazioni, i percorsi, gli scenari futuri dei territori, di coloro che li abitano e del loro modo di comunicare. Se le città invisibili erano luoghi immaginari ed evocativi, metafore della realtà, le città visibili e con esse le loro culture, sempre più a rischio di divenire invisibili, sono luoghi tangibili, concreti, spesso territori fragili e permeabili dove la comunicazione svolge un ruolo determinante. Visible cultures, meaning physical and…
Organisations et savoirs: quelles médiations ?
2016
Introduction La médiation des savoirs est un processus qui n’est pas naturellement associé aux objets de recherche inhérents au champ de la communication des organisations. Davantage située en proximité, voire en interdisciplinarité avec les Sciences de l’éducation, elle est pourtant au cœur des enjeux info-communicationnels de l’action collective entrepreneuriale, associative ou administrative. Si l’on entend la médiation des savoirs comme l’ensemble des processus médiatiques et interactionn...
