Neighbourhood distribution interacts with orthographic priming in the lexical decision task
2004
Lexical decision tasks (LDTs) were used with a masked priming procedure to test whether neighbourhood distribution interacts with orthographic priming. Word targets had either ‘single’ neighbours when their two higher frequency orthographic neighbours were spread over letter positions (e.g., neighbours of LOBE: robe-loge) or ‘twin’ neighbours when they were concentrated on a single letter position (e.g., neighbours of FARD: lard-tard). All word targets were preceded by their highest frequency orthographic neighbour or by a control prime. An inhibitory priming effect was found for words with single neighbours, but not for words with twin neighbours, in both a yes/no LDT (Experiment 1a) and a…
Selostuksesta tulkintoihin : aineistojen esittäminen lukiolaisten historian esseissä
2019
Artikkelissa selvitetään tiedonalakohtaisten tekstitaitojen viitekehyksessä, miten lukiolaisten historian esseissä rekontekstualisoidaan aineistona olevia historiallisia -dokumentteja ja miten dokumentteja selostavat ja niitä tulkitsevat esitykset eroavat toisistaan. Aineistona on 52 lukion kurssikokeen yhteydessä kirjoitettua esseetä, joiden tehtävänanto edellyttää aineistojen hyödyntämistä vastauksen perustelussa. Tutkimuksen teoreettisena ja metodologisena viitekehyksenä ovat systeemis-funktionaalinen kieliteoria ja siihen pohjautuva suhtautumisen teoria. Tutkimuksen analyysiyksikön rajauksessa hyödynnetään projektion käsitettä, ja analyysin kohteeksi on valittu sellaiset projektiot, joi…
Los diferentes «tiempos» en Bourrasque de Hélène Lenoir
2011
Hélène Lenoir présente dans Bourrasque, le premier de ses romans, une vision du temps particulière et caractéristique de son univers romanesque. A travers différentes techniques stylistiques, le temps abstrait et chronologique de l’histoire se transforme en temps expérimenté et vécu par le personnage principal. Dans Bourrasque le temps se manifeste en tant qu’expérience personnelle d’un personnage qui réfléchit à propos de son passé (mémoire), qui observe le présent (vision) et qui pense le futur (projection). Hélène Lenoir presents in the first of her novels, Bourrasque, a distinctive and characteristic vision of time within her fictional universe. Through various stylistic techniques, the…
Characterization of a medium size Xe/TMA TPC instrumented with microbulk Micromegas, using low-energy gamma-rays
2014
NEXT-MM is a general-purpose high pressure (10 bar, $\sim25$ l active volume) Xenon-based TPC, read out in charge mode with an 8 cm $\times$8 cm-segmented 700 cm$^2$ plane (1152 ch) of the latest microbulk-Micromegas technology. It has been recently commissioned at University of Zaragoza as part of the R&D of the NEXT $0\nu\beta\beta$ experiment, although the experiment's first stage is currently being built based on a SiPM/PMT-readout concept relying on electroluminescence. Around 2 million events were collected during the last months, stemming from the low energy $\gamma$-rays emitted by a $^{241}$Am source when interacting with the Xenon gas ($\epsilon$ = 26, 30, 59.5 keV). The localized…

NEXT-100 Technical Design Report (TDR). Executive summary
2012
[EN] In this Technical Design Report (TDR) we describe the NEXT-100 detector that will search for neutrinoless double beta decay (ßß0v) in 136XE at the Laboratorio Subterráneo de Canfranc (LSC), in Spain. The document formalizes the design presented in our Conceptual Design Report (CDR): an electroluminescence time projection chamber, with separate readout planes for calorimetry and tracking, located, respectively, behind cathode and anode. The detector is designed to hold a maximum of about 150 kg of xenon at 15 bar, or 100 kg at 10 bar. This option builds in the capability to increase the total isotope mass by 50% while keeping the operating pressure at a manageable level. The readout pla…
Initial results of NEXT-DEMO, a large-scale prototype of the NEXT-100 experiment
2013
NEXT-DEMO is a large-scale prototype of the NEXT-100 detector, an electroluminescent time projection chamber that will search for the neutrinoless double beta decay of Xe-136 using 100-150 kg of enriched xenon gas. NEXT-DEMO was built to prove the expected performance of NEXT-100, namely, energy resolution better than 1% FWHM at 2.5MeV and event topological reconstruction. In this paper we describe the prototype and its initial results. A resolution of 1.75% FWHM at 511 keV (which extrapolates to 0.8% FWHM at 2.5 MeV) was obtained at 10 bar pressure using a gamma-ray calibration source. Also, a basic study of the event topology along the longitudinal coordinate is presented, proving that it…
Radiopurity control in the NEXT-100 double beta decay experiment: procedures and initial measurements
2013
[EN] The "Neutrino Experiment with a Xenon Time-Projection Chamber" (NEXT) is intended to investigate the neutrinoless double beta decay of Xe-136, which requires a severe suppression of potential backgrounds. An extensive screening and material selection process is underway for NEXT since the control of the radiopurity levels of the materials to be used in the experimental set-up is a must for rare event searches. First measurements based on Glow Discharge Mass Spectrometry and gamma-ray spectroscopy using ultra-low background germanium detectors at the Laboratorio Subterraneo de Canfranc (Spain) are described here. Activity results for natural radioactive chains and other common radionucl…
In-scene atmospheric correction of hyperspectral thermal infrared images with nadir, horizontal, and oblique view angles
2012
Atmospheric corrections for hyperspectral thermal images acquired with nadir, horizontal, and oblique views have typically relied on atmospheric modelling software, such as Moderate Resolution Atmospheric Transmission MODTRAN, to estimate atmospheric parameters. Data-only corrections, which require only information from the scene, are more versatile and less labour intensive, but do not yet seem to have been applied to horizontal and oblique views. Here, we apply, and modify where necessary, one published data-only algorithm in-scene atmospheric correction ISAC to nadir, horizontal, and slanted views The Aerospace Corporation's Spatially Enhanced Broadband Array Spectrograph System SEBASS a…
Does Top-Down Feedback Modulate the Encoding of Orthographic Representations During Visual-Word Recognition?
2016
Abstract. In masked priming lexical decision experiments, there is a matched-case identity advantage for nonwords, but not for words (e.g., ERTAR-ERTAR < ertar-ERTAR; ALTAR-ALTAR = altar-ALTAR). This dissociation has been interpreted in terms of feedback from higher levels of processing during orthographic encoding. Here, we examined whether a matched-case identity advantage also occurs for words when top-down feedback is minimized. We employed a task that taps prelexical orthographic processes: the masked prime same-different task. For “same” trials, results showed faster response times for targets when preceded by a briefly presented matched-case identity prime than when preceded by …
