Abstract
In 1967, Yarbus presented qualitative data from one observer showing that the patterns of eye movements were dramatically affected by an observer’s task, suggesting that complex mental states could be inferred from scan paths. The strong claim of this very influential finding has never been rigorously tested. Our observers viewed photographs for 10 seconds each. They performed one of four image-based tasks while eye movements were recorded. A pattern classifier, given features from the static scan paths, could identify the image ...

Abstract
Humans perceive time with millisecond precision. However, when experiencing negative or fearful events, time appears to slow down and aversive events are judged to last longer than neutral or positive events of equal duration. Feelings of control have been shown to attenuate increases in arousal triggered by anxiety-provoking events. Here, we tested whether feelings of control can go as far as influencing people’s perception of the world, by modulating the perceived duration of aversive events. Observers judged the duration of images ...

Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To assess the effects of pictures on health communications. METHOD: Peer reviewed studies in health education, psychology, education, and marketing journals were reviewed. There was no limit placed on the time periods searched. RESULTS: Pictures closely linked to written or spoken text can, when compared to text alone, markedly increase attention to and recall of health education information. Pictures can also improve comprehension when they show relationships among ideas or when they show spatial relationships. Pictures can change adherence to ...

Abstract
The problem of learning the class identity of visual objects has received considerable attention recently. With rare exception, all of the work to date assumes low variation in appearance, which limits them to a single depictive style usually photographic. The same object depicted in other styles – as a drawing, perhaps – cannot be identified reliably. Yet humans are able to name the object no matter how it is depicted, and even recognize a real object having previously seen only a ...

Abstract
This article examined the rate of self-initiated communication acquisition, in a second language, of a child with autism. The language treatment objective was to teach functional communication skills in English through the use of Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS). The findings of this study show that it is possible for a child with autism to acquire functional communication skills in his second language even though he did not possess such communication skills in his first language. ...

Abstract
This paper explores the types of prepositions and the common picture types used to teach these prepositions found in English textbooks commonly used in primary schools. The results showed that the types of pictures may be problematic for presenting spatial relations due to an ambiguity the pictures may create and so as may affect the understanding and use of prepositions. Ideally all accompanying pictures should play an active and effective role in supporting learning. ...

Abstract
Two methods of entropic thresholding proposed by Pun (Signal Process.,2, 1980, 223–237;Comput. Graphics Image Process.16, 1981, 210–239) have been carefully and critically examined. A new method with a sound theoretical foundation is proposed. Examples are given on a number of real and artifically generated histograms. ...

Abstract
The present study investigated the ability to inhibit the processing of an irrelevant visual object while processing a relevant one. Participants were presented with 2 overlapping shapes (e.g., circle and square) in different colors. The task was to name the color of the relevant object designated by shape. Congruent or incongruent color words appeared in the relevant object, in the irrelevant object, or in the background. Stroop effects indicated how strong the respective area of the display was processed. The results ...

Abstract
Controversy exists about whether dual-task interference from word planning reflects structural bottleneck or attentional control factors. Here, participants named pictures whose names could or could not be phonologically prepared, and they manually responded to arrows presented away from (Experiment 1), or superimposed onto, the pictures (Experiments 2 and 3); or they responded to tones (Experiment 4). Pictures and arrows/tones were presented at stimulus onset asynchronies of 0, 300, and 1,000 ms. Earlier research showed that vocal responding hampers auditory perception, which ...

Abstract
We compared the performance of young (college-aged) and older (50+years) speakers in a single object and a multiple object naming task and assessed their susceptibility to semantic and phonological context effects when producing words amidst semantically or phonologically similar or dissimilar words. In single object naming, there were no performance differences between the age groups. In multiple object naming, we observed significant age-related slowing, expressed in longer gazes to the objects and slower speech. In addition, the direction of the phonological ...

Abstract
The picture–word interference paradigm is a prominent tool for studying lexical retrieval during speech production. When participants name the pictures, interference from semantically related distractor words has regularly been shown. By contrast, when participants categorize the pictures, facilitation from semantically related distractors has typically been found. In the extant studies, however, differences in the task instructions (naming vs. categorizing) were confounded with the response level: While responses in naming were typically located at the basic level (e.g., “dog”), responses were located ...

Abstract
Primary progressive aphasia (PPA) is a neurodegenerative syndrome that causes a gradual atrophy of the left hemisphere language network, leading to impairments of object naming (anomia) and word comprehension. In 33 human subjects with PPA, object naming and word comprehension were explored with N400 potentials elicited by picture–word or picture–picture matching tasks. Two mechanisms of impairment were identified. In one group of patients, where the object name could be recognized but not retrieved during verbal naming, N400s in picture–word trials were ...

Exhibition has been the silent partner in discussions of the three-dimensional film 'boom' of the 1950s. Exploring this lost aspect of 3-D history through a focus on exhibitor trade journals, the article complicates existing understanding of stereo cinema before, during and after the release of Bwana Devil (1953) and House of Wax (1953). Looking at the British experience specifically, the article reveals how stereoscopic films produced for the 1951 Festival of Britain created a nascent distribution and exhibition circuit for 3-D ...

Abstract
The crystal structure of anhydrous δ-D-mannitol (C6H14O6) was solved from high-resolution synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction data collected on a mixture containing 20% and 80% w/w of β- and δ-D-mannitol, respectively. The direct space simulated annealing program PSSP, and Rietveld analysis employing GSAS were used to determine and refine the structure. The polymorph has monoclinic symmetry, space group P21 with a=5.089 41(5) Ã, b=18.2504(2) Ã, c=4.917 02(5) Ã, and β=118.303(2)°. There is one molecule in the irreducible volume of the unit cell. ...

Abstract
In the monoclinic delta polymorph of D-mannitol, C(6)H(14)O(6), both the molecule and the packing have approximate twofold rotational symmetry. The P2(1) structure thus approximates space group C222(1), and the alpha' polymorph, previously reported in that space group, is almost certainly identical to the delta polymorph. However, torsion angles along the main backbone of the molecule deviate from twofold symmetry by as much as 7.4 (3) ...

Abstract
In this work the solid-state characterization of anhydrous D -mannitol has been performed: α and β modifications can be distinguished only by XRPD and FTIR as they show melting temperature and enthalpy that are the same within the standard deviation. The understanding of the thermal behaviour of the δ form (obtained by re-crystallization in acetone) has required XRPD experiments performed at variable temperature. This form during heating undergoes a solid phase transition to α modification. By cooling a melted sample, under ...

Abstract
Although other polyols have been described extensively as filler-binders in direct compaction of tablets, the polyol isomalt is rather unknown as pharmaceutical excipient, in spite of its description in all the main pharmacopoeias. In this paper the compaction properties of different types of ispomalt were studied. The types used were the standard product sieved isomalt, milled isomalt and two types of agglomerated isomalt with a different ratio between 6-O-α-d-glucopyranosyl-d-sorbitol (GPS) and 1-O-α-d-glucopyranosyl-d-mannitol dihydrate (GPM). Powder flow properties, specific surface area and ...

Abstract
This research subjected the visual rightness theory of picture perception to experimental scrutiny. It investigated the ability of adults untrained in the visual arts to discriminate between reproductions of original abstract and representational paintings by renowned artists from two experimentally manipulated less well-organized versions of each art stimulus. Perturbed stimuli contained either minor or major disruptions in the originals' principal structural networks. It was found that participants were significantly more successful in discriminating between originals and their highly altered, but not ...

Abstract
The tableting behavior of drugs can be affected by changes in the crystal habit. Different crystal habits of the common analgesic drugs ibuprofen and acetaminophen were prepared. Their tableting behavior was characterized. In the case of ibuprofen, a plate-shaped crystal was compared with the common needle-shaped form. In the case of acetaminophen, plate-shaped and prismatic crystals of two different particle sizes were prepared. The aim was to find a crystal form that is suitable for direct compression with only a low ...

Abstract
The sensitivity of two techniques in tracking changes in surface energetics was investigated for a crystalline excipient, d-mannitol. Macroscopic crystals of d-mannitol were grown from saturated water solution by slow cooling, and sessile drop contact angle was employed to measure the anisotropic surface energy. The facet-specific surface energy was consistent with localised hydroxyl group concentrations determined by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and was also in excellent agreement with the surface energy distribution of the powder form of mannitol measured via a ...

Abstract
The purpose of this project was to investigate the polymorphic variation of spray-dried mannitol model formulations as a function of particle size. Spray-dried powders with varying mannitol polymorphs were produced by adjusting process parameters, using co-solvent and adding a model protein (lysozyme). The obtained dry powders were dispersed into different size fractions using a Next Generation Pharmaceutical Impactor. The mannitol polymorphs in the different size fractions were analyzed using X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD), Fourier transform near infrared (FT-NIR) and Raman spectroscopy. ...

Abstract
Mannitol particles, produced by spray drying (SD), have been used commercially (Aridol™) in bronchial provocation test. In this study, we propose an alternative method to produce inhalable mannitol powders. The elongated mannitol particles (number median length 4.0 μm, and axial ratio of 3.5) were prepared using a confined liquid impinging jets (CLIJs) followed by jet milling (JM). Spray dried and jet milled raw mannitol particles were compared in an attempt to assess the performance of the particles produced by the new method. ...

Abstract
The effects of moisture on the polymorphic transition of crystalline mannitol were investigated. Mannitol has three polymorphic forms, and was classified as α, β, and δ form, respectively, by Walter-Lévy (C.R. Acad. Sc. Paris Ser. C (1968) 267, 1779). The water uptake of δ form crystalline was greater than that of the β form when each crystalline form was stored at 97%RH (25 °C). The different powder X-ray diffraction patterns obtained before and after humidification confirmed that a moisture induced polymorphic transition ...

Abstract
In this paper, molecular modelling was used to investigate the nature of probe/surface interactions during the analysis of Dβ-mannitol using inverse gas chromatography (IGC). IGC was used to experimentally measure the dispersive components of surface free energy () and the specific components of free energy of adsorption () of Dβ-mannitol by calculating the retention time of non-polar (n-alkanes) and polar (tetrahydrofuran and chloroform) probes, respectively. The results showed that Dβ-mannitol surface is acidic in nature because the basic probe had more ...

Abstract
The motivation for this study was to find an adequate substitute for lactose as carrier in dry powder inhalers and to overcome some drawbacks inherent to lactose. Mannitol appears to be the ideal replacement of lactose because it lacks the risk of transmitting the transmissible spongiform encephalopathy, mannitol does not carry reducing groups, that may cause chemical interactions with drugs such as proteins, and is highly crystalline even upon spray drying. Spray drying in turn is a dedicated technology to prepare ...

Abstract
We have previously shown that by exposing one form of mannitol to high relative humidity, a moisture-induced polymorphic transition of mannitol with a concurrent change in particle morphology occurs [Int. J. Pharm. 247 (2002) 69]. In this paper, we propose that if these changes occur during a wet-granulation procedure, it may be possible to make bring about an in situ size-reduction of mannitol with compaction property enhancement. Powder X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy confirmed that a polymorphic transition (the δ ...

Six experiments studied relative frequency judgment and recall of sequentially presented items drawn from 2 distinct categories (i.e., city and animal). The experiments show that judged frequencies of categories of sequentially encountered stimuli are affected by certain properties of the sequence configuration. We found (a) a first-run effect whereby people overestimated the frequency of a given category when that category was the first repeated category to occur in the sequence and (b) a dissociation between judgments and recall; respondents may judge ...

Abstract
This article discusses the motion picture "South Park Bigger, Longer, and Uncut." The film has received little serious critical attention, though reviews in mainstream sources like "Time," and "The New Yorker," were largely favorable. While obviously defending liberal beliefs in free speech and sexual freedom, the film also dramatizes a number of paradoxes about American masculinity. It stages liberal truisms only to transform them, modeling a ludic libertarianism. Its ethics might be called Queer Lite: they are unempathically tolerant, polymorphously perverse, ...
