Extremely Tiny and Indivisible Dust
Rhythmus 21 (Hans Richter, 1921) has earned a highly influential position in abstract or absolute film, presenting the rectangles of various sizes that seem to initiate a sense of depth. Nevertheless, the spatial experience of seeing this film can fall apart if Buddhist dust theory is applied to the discussion of spatial experience. This article uses wufen weichen (extremely tiny and indivisible dust) in Buddhist studies as a philosophical method…
The smog of exercise
With the rapid development of industrialization and urbanization in China, air pollution has become an increasingly serious problem, and people are increasingly concerned about its impact on personal physical and mental health. From the perspective of health behavior, this study investigates the participation of residents in sports activities by examining fitness behavior and using temperature inversion as an instrumental variable for air polluti…
Postoperative recurrence prediction model for perianal abscess using machine learning algorithms
Objective This study aimed to develop a machine learning–based model to predict recurrence risk after perianal abscess surgery, thereby supporting personalized follow-up and intervention strategies. Methods Clinical data were collected from patients with perianal abscess who underwent surgery at Nanjing Hospital of Chinese Medicine, Affiliated to Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine between January 2022 and June 2023. Significant predictors wer…
How does user participation affect firm innovation performance
Open innovation communities (OICs) effectively facilitate user participation in product development and production by establishing collaborative platforms and incentive frameworks, serving as a crucial channel for organizations to enhance innovation performance. Although current research has confirmed the advantageous effects of user participation, the contextual constraints of its underlying mechanisms require further examination. This study for…
Twenty-month-olds categorically discriminate similar sounding vowels regardless of vocabulary level, an event related potentials (ERP) study
The current study investigated whether vocabulary relates to phonetic categorization at neural level in early childhood. Electoencephalogram (EEG) responses were collected from 53 Dutch 20-month-old children in a passive oddball paradigm, in which they were presented with two nonwords “ giep ” [ɣip] and “ gip ” [ɣɪp] that were contrasted solely by the vowel. In the multiple-speaker condition, both nonwords were produced by twelve different speake…
Native language, L2 experience, and pitch processing in music
The current study investigated how the role of pitch in one’s native language and L2 experience influenced musical melodic processing by testing Turkish and Mandarin Chinese advanced and beginning learners of English as an L2. Pitch has a lower functional load and shows a simpler pattern in Turkish than in Chinese as the former only contrasts between presence and the absence of pitch elevation, while the latter makes use of four different pitch c…
Perception of tones in Mandarin and Dutch adult listeners
This paper examines the nature of categorical perception (CP) effects in Mandarin and Dutch adult listeners through identification and discrimination tasks using lexical tonal contrasts and through the CP index analysis. In identification tasks, Mandarin listeners identify tones in accordance with their native tonal categories whereas Dutch listeners do so based on acoustic properties. In discrimination tasks, Dutch listeners outperform Mandarin …
The tone atlas of perceptual discriminability and perceptual distance
Some prior investigations suggest that tone perception is flexible, reasonably independent of native phonology, whereas others suggest it is constrained by native phonology. We address this issue in a systematic and comprehensive investigation of adult tone perception. Sampling from diverse tone and non-tone speaking communities, we tested discrimination of the three major tone systems (Cantonese, Thai, Mandarin) that dominate the tone perception…
Simultaneous bilinguals who do not speak a tone language show enhancement in pitch sensitivity but not in executive function
Previous studies have reported perceptual advantages, such as when discriminating non-native linguistic or musical pitch differences, among first-year infants growing up in bilingual over monolingual environments. It is unclear whether such effects should be attributed to bilinguals’ enhanced perceptual sensitivity and/or cognitive abilities, and whether such effects would extend to adulthood. Twenty-four Dutch, 24 Dutch simultaneous bilingual (D…
Temporal and spatial patterns of Cl- and Na+ concentrations and Cl/Na ratios in salted urban watersheds
The study of sodium and chloride in the environment has a long history with a particular focus on road salting in urban areas. In many studies, spatial scales are limited (e.g., city) and temporal measurements are coarse (e.g., monthly), with the result that our understanding of the hydrogeochemical dynamics is constrained. Through a unique set of spatial and temporal measurements from the State of Michigan we a) examine the spatial distribution …
