Study on the Gas–Rock Interfacial Deterioration Mechanisms of Limestone Cultural Heritage: A Case Study of the Qingyunshan Cliff Sculptures, China
Limestone cultural heritage exposed to the atmosphere over long periods undergoes deterioration processes not solely governed by water–rock interactions such as precipitation and seepage. Under relatively dry or semienclosed conditions, gas–rock interfacial reactions may dominate structural degradation. This study takes the Qingyunshan Cliff Sculptures as the research object. Under conditions without direct involvement of liquid water, laboratory…
Computational Modeling of Second Language Learning
Computational modeling has played a significant role in advancing language studies. Over the past three decades, this approach has also been successfully applied to the study of second language learning and bilingualism, and several computational bilingual models have been developed, mostly within the framework of connectionism. In this entry, we offer an overview of these models, introducing their underlying connectionist mechanisms, highlightin…

Women’s self-reported symptoms of reproductive tract infection, medical consultations, and factors influencing them in less developed regions: Perimenopausal and older women in need of urgent attentio…
Background: Reproductive tract infections (RTIs) represent a critical public health concern impacting women's health, particularly pronounced in developing countries. We aim to investigates the prevalence of self-reported RTI symptoms in women aged 18 to 65 and the factors influencing gynecological examination behavior and associated risks are explored. Methods: From May 6, 2022, to September 20, 2022, a comprehensive survey engaged 20,864 women …
Fuzzy or Clear? A Computational Approach Towards Dynamic L2 Lexical-Semantic Representation
In this paper, we present a computational approach to bilingual speakers’ non-native (L2) lexical-semantic representations. Specifically, based on detailed analyses of the error patterns shown in our previous simulation results ( Zhao and Li Int. J. Bilingual. Educ. Bilingual., 2010, 13, 505–524 ; Zhao and Li, Bilingualism, 2013, 16, 288–303 ), we aim at revealing the underlying learning factors that may affect the extent of fuzzy category bounda…

Language History Questionnaire (LHQ3): An enhanced tool for assessing multilingual experience
The language history questionnaire (LHQ) is an important tool for assessing the linguistic background and language proficiency of multilinguals or second language learners. Previously we developed a generic LHQ based on the most commonly asked questions in published studies (Li, Sepanski & Zhao, 2006) and provided a web-based interface (LHQ 2.0) that has flexibility in functionality, accuracy in data recording, and privacy for users and data (Li,…
Superselective Arterial Embolization of Arteriovenous Malformation of Internal Pudendal Artery, a Rare Cause of Hematuria: A Case Report
Arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is a common form of vascular malformation, an abnormal direct communication between an artery and a vein without passing through the capillaries. AVM may just present as hematuria without plain or other symptoms. The article presents a case of a 52-year-old male with gross hematuria diagnosed as AVM of internal pudendal artery, which was successfully managed with superselective arterial embolization using temporar…
Connectionism
Connectionism, also known as parallel distributed processing (PDP) or artificial neural networks, is an important theoretical framework as well as a computational tool for the study of mind and behavior.
Bilingual lexical interactions in an unsupervised neural network model
In this paper we present an unsupervised neural network model of bilingual lexical development and interaction. We focus on how the representational structures of the bilingual lexicons can emerge, develop, and interact with each other as a function of the learning history. The results show that: (1) distinct representations for the two lexicons can develop in our network when the two languages are learned simultaneously; (2) the representational…
Acquisition of aspect in self-organizing connectionist models
Two connectionist networks, DISLEX and DevLex-II, were used in this study to model the acquisition of lexical and grammatical aspect. Both models use multi-layered self-organizing feature maps, connected by associative links trained according to the Hebbian learning rule. Previous empirical research has identified a strong association between lexical aspect and grammatical aspect in child language, on the basis of which some researchers argue for…
