Effects of exposure to noise during perceptual training of non-native language sounds
(AIP Publishing, 2018)
Listeners manage to acquire the sounds of their native language in spite of experiencing a range of
acoustic conditions during acquisition, including the presence of noise. Is the same true for nonnative
sound acquisition? ...
Crosslinguistic influence and morphological awareness in English (third language) writing
(Sage, 2019)
Aims: The aim of the present paper is twofold. Firstly, we look into the effects of a number of
factors on crosslinguistic influence (study 1). Secondly, we analyse the role played by morphological
awareness in the ...
Lexical crosslinguistic influence in Basque-Spanish bilinguals’ English (L3) writing
(Taylor and Francis Group, 2019-12-20)
The present research examines the effects of a number of factors on
crosslinguistic influence (CLI) in Basque-Spanish bilinguals’ third language
(L3) writing. The main focus is on the levels of adapted and non-adapted
loan ...
Exome sequencing in multiple sclerosis families identifies 12 candidate genes and nominates biological pathways for the genesis of disease
(Public Library Science 15(6) : (2019) // Article ID e1008180, 2019-06-06)
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory disease of the central nervous system characterized by myelin loss and neuronal dysfunction. Although the majority of patients do not present familial aggregation, Mendelian forms ...
Pd supported catalyst for gas-phase 1,2-dichloroethane abatement: Efficiency and high selectivity towards oxygenated products
(Elsevier, 2017-08-12)
Hydroxyapatite (HAP) support has been synthesised and impregnated with different amounts of Pd. The prepared Pd/HAP catalysts have been thoroughly characterised by BET, XRD, TEM, UV–visible–NIR, FTIR, XPS, CO2-TPD and NH ...
K nearest neighbor equality: giving equal chance to all existing classes
(Elsevier, 2011-07-23)
The nearest neighbor classification method assigns an unclassified point to the class of the nearest case of a set of previously classified points. This rule is independent of the underlying joint distribution of the sample ...
Classifier Subset Selection to construct multi-classifiers by means of estimation of distribution algorithms
(Elsevier, 2015-01-24)
This paper proposes a novel approach to select the individual classifiers to take part in a Multiple-Classifier System. Individual classifier selection is a key step in the development of multi-classifiers. Several works ...
Interactome of the Autoimmune Risk Protein ANKRD55
(Frontiers Media, 2019-09-18)
The ankyrin repeat domain-55 (ANKRD55) gene contains intronic single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with risk to contract multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis or other autoimmune disorders. Risk alleles of ...
A 4-Trifluoromethyl Analogue of Celecoxib Inhibits Arthritis by Suppressing Innate Immune Cell Activation
(Biomed Central, 2012-01-17)
Introduction: Celecoxib, a highly specific cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor has been reported to have COX-2-independent immunomodulatory effects. However, celecoxib itself has only mild suppressive effects on arthritis. ...
Characterization of Carotid Smooth Muscle Cells during Phenotypic Transition
(MDPI, 2018-03)
Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) are central players in carotid atherosclerosis plaque development. Although the precise mechanisms involved in plaque destabilization are not completely understood, it is known that ...
