Sentence Judgment and Correction Abilities in Persons with Anomic and Conduction Aphasia
Abstract: Persons with aphasia posses’ difficulty in syntactic judgment, regardless of the aphasia type. Even persons with milder variants with aphasia such as conduction aphasia and anomic aphasia do exhibit deficits on syntactic judgment. The syntactic judgment ability is tested through a judgment task where the participants have to speculate the response if the sentence presented to them is correct or incorrect. In order to counteract this variable, sentence correction task …

An Aggregate-Breakage Percolation Model and ANN-Based Internal Validation for Curvature-Dependent Electrical Conductivity of MWCNT/TPU Nanocomposites
Abstract: Strain-dependent percolation models are mostly built and tested for uniaxial tension, yet many flexible sensors and stretchable devices work mainly in bending, where the outer fibre is stretched, the inner fibre is compressed and the strain changes with thickness.
