Language sensitive

Several aspects affect the extent and character of taste and smell. People differ considerably in sensitivity and appreciation of smell and taste, and there is lack of a common language to describe smell and taste experiences. A hereditary or genetic factor may cause a variation between individual reactions, eg, phenylthiourea causes a bitter taste sensation which may not be perceptible to certain people whose general abiUty to distinguish other tastes is not noticeably impaired (17). The variation of pH in saUva, which acts as a buffer and the charge carrier for the depolarization of the taste cell, may influence the perception of acidity differently in people (15,18). Enzymes in saUva can cause rapid chemical changes in basic food ingredients, such as proteins and carbohydrates, with variable effects on the individual. [Pg.10]

Context-Sensitive Languages the only constraint is that the length of successive words cannot be decreased i.e. any productions of the form a I —) are allowed provided that 2 > ai. Recognized by Linear-... [Pg.293]

Below we present evidence that (1) the infinite-time limit sets of class cl and c2 CA form regular languages, (2) the infinite-time limit set of class c3 CA (appear to) form context-sensitive languages and (3) the infinite-time limit set of class c4 CA (appear to) to form unrestricted languages. While the evidence is very strong that the assertions about the infinite time limit sets of class c3 and c4 CA are in fact correct, a formal proof has yet to be provided. [Pg.294]

Since, as we have continually been reminded throughout this book, the capacity for some kind of signal propagation is critical for being able to perform arbitrary computational processes, it should come as no surprise that there is a finite intersection between both context-sensitive and unrestricted Chomsky languages - the latter, of which, we recall require the class of universal computers as their accept-... [Pg.579]

It is recommended that the protocol itself contain language that allows for minor modifications of an analytical method or procedure without necessitating an amendment (or a deviation) for example, "Minor modifications in instrumental parameters and/or adjustments in technique may be made in the method during specimen analysis to enhance overall efficiency or the sensitivity, specificity, or selectivity of analyte response."... [Pg.157]

Odour quality depends not only on the sensitivity of the human nose but also on the subjectivity of the human language to be able to describe the odour (17). Some chemical characteristics of slurry have been compared to the slurry odour. A relationship between volatile fatty acids (VFA) and odour offensiveness of poultry manure was described by... [Pg.334]

Thus drug discrimination can serve as an in vivo surrogate assay for receptor activation where the cne is selective for a particular receptor. It is a selective and sensitive in vivo measnre of nenronal and receptor mechanisms and can help researchers to understand more of the brain s fundamental processes. It is the only assay allowing a direct test in which subjects that do not have language (e.g. rodents) can detect the presence of a psychoactive substance in the body and define the extent of the similarity of its effects to those of other substances. [Pg.300]

Historically, pH sensitive dyes have been extensively used as indicators in acid-base titrations and in simple spot test papers, even leading to a common phrase in our everyday language, when people or topics are described as having passed the litmus test . The use of complexometric titrations for metal ions was a later but widely... [Pg.48]

Those we now call Karo or Karo Batak were declared an objective of Dutch missionary work for political reasons, because of their proximity to the Muslim and anti-Dutch Acehnese (Kipp 1990). The expansion of the Rhenisch mission in that direction was therefore not encouraged by colonial authority, the work being entrusted to the Dutch Missionary Society (NZG). Karos appear to have accepted the broad exonym Batak in the nineteenth century, but the Dutch mission favoured a distinctive term, to reflect the very different language in which they preached, to cater to Karo sensitivity to Toba domination, and to emphasise that the German mission should keep out of its sphere (Kipp 1993 28-38 Steedly 1996). [Pg.158]

Therefore, the simplest procedure to get the stochastic description of the reaction leads to the rather complicated set of equations containing phenomenological parameters / (equation (2.2.17)) with non-transparent physical meaning. Fluctuations are still considered as a result of the external perturbation. An advantage of this approach is a useful analogy of reaction kinetics and the physics of equilibrium critical phenomena. As is well known, because of their nonlinearity, equations (2.1.40) reveal non-equilibrium bifurcations [78, 113]. A description of diffusion-controlled reactions in terms of continuous Markov process - equation (2.2.15) - makes our problem very similar to the static and dynamic theory of critical phenomena [63, 87]. When approaching the bifurcation points, the systems with reactions become very sensitive to the environment fluctuations, which can even produce new nonequilibrium transitions [18, 67, 68, 90, 108]. The language developed in the physics of critical phenomena can be directly applied to the processes in spatially extended systems. [Pg.89]

In addition to these technical problems, the complexity inherent to physical properties of gels is, as exemplified above, that they depend very sensitively on the preparation condition. This is because, in a formal language, a gel is a frozen system and we need two sets of statistical information, the preparative ensemble and the final ensemble , to understand its equilibrium properties [29]. Hence, a gel is by nature more complex than the usual equilibrium systems. We should clarify the dependence of the properties of gels on preparation conditions, and also on structural defects of the network before going into precise investigations such as critical phenomena associated with the phase transition. [Pg.14]

What, then, are some of the aspects of liberal education that might engage us I would like to discuss five of them without in any sense presuming to say that there are no others, nor equally important ones. The first is the value judgement that needs to be developed. Then there is a sense of relevance and appropriateness that marks the able mind. Thirdly, there is the ability to reason in the broadest sense. Fourthly, a sensitivity to language, and, fifthly, an innate courtesy which should be sought after and cultivated. [Pg.363]

There is no question but that psychedelics influence language, although the manner in which they do so is unclear (Amarel and Cheek, 1965). It is possible that they operate by increasing the associational content of speech (Cheek and Amarel, 1968). Language is, in fact, a very sensitive index of the effects of psychedelics (Cheek, 1963). In his paper, Kripp-ner tries to analyze the effects of psychedelics in terms of the afferent and efferent functions of speech, and deals with language on both a spoken and a written level. [Pg.197]

Readers who are sensitive to any possible subject matter are advised not to read these text in whole or part. Some sexual content may exist as may certain graphic language, terms, and/or diagrams and pictures. [Pg.3]
