The problem of stuttering: a clinical and experimental study

The following pages contain the record of an investigation into the problem of stuttering which has formed part of a co- operative attack upon the disorder by various agencies - psychological, medical and educational - in the city of Edinburgh. The practical work of the research has been carried out in the University Psychological Clinic and in the George Combe Psychological Laboratory in the University of Edinburgh.The arrangement of the material is as follows: Part I contains a critical discussion of the principal theoretical conceptions of the disorder which have been put forward; Part II covers the analysis of the data from the clinical examination; while Part III is a record of the results of the experimental investigation. The clinical notes upon the seventy-eight cases which constituted the main group of our subjects are collected separately in Part IV. In the discussion reference is made to illustrative material in the case-histories simply by citing the number of the case in question

TWENTY QUESTIONS FOR DOCUMENT CLASSIFICATION

Documents – manuscripts, books, magazines, newspapers, sheet music, circuit diagrams, checks, web pages, email attachments, music- CDs, videos, and cuneiform - mirror the culture of the time and serve as the primary source of historical record. Although it seems natural to classify documents according to format before examining their content, form and function are often intertwined. The design of a document interpretation system must take both into consideration. What are the essential parameters of a document interpretation system? What needs to be known before undertaking the design or purchase of such a system? What is the interrelationship of the client, the document, and the desired information? In other words, what is the range of issues of possible interest to our research community? In order to highlight the tacit assumptions implicit in the document analysis literature, we will start with tabula rasa and invite the workshop participants to join us in a game of Twenty Questions

Segmenting Tables via Indexing of Value Cells by Table Headers

Correct segmentation of a web table into its component regions is the essential first step to understanding tabular data. Our algorithmic solution to the segmentation problem relies on the property that strings defining row and column header paths uniquely index each data cell in the table. We segment the table using only “logical layout analysis” without resorting to any appearance features or natural language understanding. We start with a CSV table that preserves the 2- dimensional structure and contents of the original source table (e.g., an HTML table) but not font size, font weight, and color. The indexing property of table headers implies a four-quadrant partitioning of the table about a minimum index point. The algorithm finds the index point through an efficient guided search. Experimental results on a 200-table benchmark demonstrate the generality of the algorithm in handling a variety of table styles and forms

HIERARCHICAL REPRESENTATION OF OPTICALLY SCANNED DOCUMENTS

The objective of the research to be pursued is to develop a schema for representing raster-digitized (scanned) documents, The representation is to retain not only the spatial structure of a printed document, but should also facilitate automatic labeling of various components, such as text, figures, subtitles, and figure captions, and allow the extraction of important relationships (such as reading order) among them. Intended applications include (1) data compression for document transmission and archival, and (2) document entry, with out rekeying, into editing, formatting, and information retrieval systems

Characterization of a Reductively-Activated Elimination Pathway Relevant to the Biological Chemistry of the Kinamycins and Lomaiviticins

The lomaiviticins (1 and 2) and kinamycins (3–5) are bacterial metabolites with potent antimicrobial and antiproliferative activities. Herein we establish that 1–5 are capable of generating electrophilic acylfulvene intermediates (6) under mildly reducing conditions. These acylfulvenes 6 are formed by a multistep process comprising two-electron reduction and loss of dinitrogen to form an ortho-quinone methide, followed by elimination. Based on these studies, the structure of the product formed from 1 in DNA-cleavage assays is proposed (26). We also show that the bis(hydroxynaphthoquinone) substructures of the lomaiviticins activate the metabolites toward reduction. Finally, based on COMPARE and time-dependent cell response profiling analyses, we show that kinamycin C (4) and the monomeric lomaiviticin aglycon (24) operate by a mechanism of action that is distinct from simple diazofluorenes, such as 23

Flight Measurements of the Flying Qualities of a Lockheed P-80A Airplane (Army No. 44-85099) - Stalling Characteristics

This report contains the flight-test results of the stalling characteristics measured during the flying-qualities investigation of the Lockheed P-8OA airplane (Army No. 44-85099). The tests were conducted in straight and turning flight with and without wing-tip tanks. These tests showed satisfactory stalling characteristics and adequate stall warning for all configurations and conditions tested
