    Comment on Competition for consciousness among visual events: the psychophysics of reentrant visual processes (Di Lollo, Enns, & Rensink, 2000)

    No full text
    V. Di Lolo, J. T. Enns, and R. A. Rensink (2000) reported properties of masking that they claimed were inconsistent with all current models. The current authors show, through computer simulation, that many current models can account for V. Di Lollo et al.'s (2000) data. Although V. Di Lollo et al. (2000) argued that their data could be accounted for only with models that incorporate reentrant processing, the current authors show that reentrant processing is not necessary.</p

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    No full text
    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    Variations on the Author

    No full text
    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

    Ovine amniotic epithelial cells transcriptome portrait

    INTRODUCTION: Amniotic Epithelial Cells (AEC) represent an emerging source in stem cells. However, AEC regenerative potential can be largely affected by the in vitro amplification. In order to standardize the AECs-based regenerative protocols, an advanced NGS approach of ovine cell characterization has been used to compare the transcriptome of 3 passages amplified oAEC obtained under standardized conditions (CTR) or by adding progesterone (P4) in order to preserve the epithelial native phenotype during expansion. METHODS: The transcriptome profile has been performed by RNA sequencing (NextSeq500 Illumina platform). Differentially Expressed Genes (DEGs), identified using Tophat2-Cufflink2 pipeline [2], were by in house developed scripts to obtain enriched Gene Ontology (GO) terms and pathways. RESULTS &amp; DISCUSSION: The transcriptional landscape profiles showed 495 and 753 DEGs in CTR and P4, respectively, belonging to 3 main enriched GO-modules. In order to identify the mechanisms controlling biochemical pathways, we firstly derived a gene-gene network from DEGs. The networks were analyzed to detect both local and general hubs, which represent most connected nodes. They were compared to the bottleneck nodes that play a key role in controlling information throughout the networks. Integrating expression levels into the so obtained controlling structure (hubs, bottlenecks, DEGs), we identified a pattern of genes (listed in Figure1) characterizing the two oAECs transcriptomes. CONCLUSIONS: For the first time, we described the whole transcriptome portrait of oAECs by using RNA-seq. The results clearly defined most biological processes and molecular pathways having a key-role in the two morphologically different oAECs. We, also, provided useful information to understand essential mechanisms involved in tissue regeneration. This approach can suggest a research framework in sheep, considered a consolidated model organism in regenerative medicine [3] filling lacking of information about the ovine genome and gene sequences

    Towards a Neural Network Model of the Attentional Blink

    No full text
    One of the most prominent experimental paradigms for investigating the deployment of attention over time is the Attentional Blink (AB). Although there is now a great deal known about it, computational modeling of the AB remains only lightly explored. This paper responds to this limitation by proposing a prototype neural network model of the blink. A central aspect of which is a realization of the concept of consolidation into working memory, which is at the heart of the majority of current explanations of the blink

    Alcune annotazioni sul giudizio di legittimità-ammissibilità delle richieste di referendum costituzionale

    No full text
    L'Autore affronta alcune questioni che si pongono, all'interno della fase facoltativa ed eventuale del procedimento di approvazione delle leggi costituzionali che segue la fase parlamentare di adozione delle stesse, in relazione al giudizio, che è demandato alla competenza dell'Ufficio centrale per il referendum, istituito presso la Corte di cassazione, sulle richieste di consultazione popolare presentate ai sensi dell’art. 138, comma 2, Cost. Un focus particolare viene dedicato al tema della (necessaria?) omogeneità delle richieste di referendum costituzionale nonché al problema della corretta formulazione del quesito approvativo
