Capturing Cross-linguistic Differences in Macro-rhythm: The Case of Italian and English
(Language and Speech, 2020)
We tested the hypothesis that languages can be classified by their degree of tonal rhythm (Jun, 2014). The tonal rhythms of English and Italian were quantified using the following parameters: (a) regularity of tonal ...
Making It Harder to “See” Meaning: The More You See Something, the More Its Conceptual Representation Is Susceptible to Visual Interference
(Psychological Science, 2020)
Does the perceptual system for looking at the world overlap with the conceptual system for thinking about it? We
conducted two experiments (N = 403) to investigate this question. Experiment 1 showed that when people ...
Ideal and Predictable Hit Ratio for Matrix Transposition in Data Caches
(MDPI, 2020-02-03)
Matrix transposition is a fundamental operation, but it may present a very low and hardly predictable data cache hit ratio for large matrices. Safe (worst-case) hit ratio predictability is required in real-time systems. ...
Influence of the Sampling Density in the Coestimation Error of a Regionalized Locally Stationary Variable
(MDPI, 2020-01-21)
In the present study, the influence of the sampling density on the coestimation error of a regionalized, locally stationary and geo-mining nature variable is analyzed. The case study is two-dimensional (2D) and synthetic-type, ...
Some Fixed Point Theorems of Ćirić Type in Fuzzy Metric Spaces
(MDPI, 2020-02-21)
The main aim of the current paper is the investigation of possibilities for improvements and generalizations contractive condition of Ćirić in the fuzzy metric spaces. Various versions of fuzzy contractive conditions are ...
Multiplex SERS Detection of Metabolic Alterations in Tumor Extracellular Media
(Wiley, 2020-04)
The composition and intercellular interactions of tumor cells in the tissues dictate the biochemical and metabolic properties of the tumor microenvironment. The metabolic rewiring has a profound impact on the properties ...
Students’understanding of the concept of the electric field through conversions of multiple representations
(American Physical Society, 2020-06-04)
We conducted a study with introductory and upper-division level physics students in a Mexican and a Spanish university to learn how students recognize the main characteristics of the electric field in three of its more ...
Fluidity in the perception of auditory speech: Cross-modal recalibration of voice gender and vowel identity by a talking face
(Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 2020)
Humans quickly adapt to variations in the speech signal. Adaptation may surface as recalibration, a learning effect driven by error-minimisation between a visual face and an ambiguous auditory speech signal, or as selective ...
The Y-chromosome of the Soliga, an ancient forest-dwelling tribe of South India
(Elsevier, 2020)
A previous autosomal STR study provided evidence of a connection between the ancient Soliga tribe at the southern tip of the Indian subcontinent and Australian aboriginal populations, possibly reflecting an eastbound coastal ...
Ready Access to Molecular Rotors Based on Boron Dipyrromethene Dyes-Coumarin Dyads Featuring Broadband Absorption
(MDPI, 2020-02-12)
Herein we report on a straightforward access method for boron dipyrromethene dyes (BODIPYs)-coumarin hybrids linked through their respective 8- and 6- positions, with wide functionalization of the coumarin fragment, using ...
