Measuring the Effects of Cognitive Capacity on Sentence Comprehension: Evidence From Elementary School-Age Children
Authors: Magimairaj Beula M. , Nagaraj Naveen K. , Gillam Ronald B.
Published: September 2024

Purpose:

Our aim was to (a) develop a sentence comprehension measure that distinguished between cognitive capacity and syntactic knowledge in school-age children and (b) examine the relationship between comprehension performance and cognitive variables (working memory capacity and retrieval from long-term memory).

Method:

We developed and administered a picture selection sentence comprehension task to 122 school-age children representing varied cognitive abilities. We evaluated comprehension accuracy and response time in two syntactically identical conditions but with different cognitive demands incorporated in picture foils—one with low demand using superfluous adjectives and another with high demand using contrastive adjectives. Children also completed tasks measuring working memory capacity and long-term memory retrieval.

Results:

Comprehension accuracy was significantly lower, and response times were longer in the high–cognitive demand condition compared to the low-demand condition. Errors frequently involved incorrect attribute selection in the high-demand condition that included contrastive adjectives in picture foils, while reversal errors prevailed in the low-demand condition, which included superfluous adjectives. Accuracy correlated positively with the memory variables. Hierarchical regression analysis showed that after adjusting for comprehension in the low–cognitive demand condition (38.60% variance), memory variables accounted for 4.50% additional variance in the high-demand condition with only working memory capacity as the unique predictor.

Conclusions:

The significant role of working memory capacity in comprehending sentences with high cognitive demand indicated the recruitment of active attention and verbal rehearsal. Data support the newly developed measure's potential for assessing cognitive skills integral to sentence comprehension in school-age children.

Updates on Clinical Language Sampling Practices: A Survey of Speech-Language Pathologists Practicing in the United States
Authors: Wilder Amy , Redmond Sean M.
Published: September 2024

Purpose:

Language sample analysis (LSA) provides many benefits for assessing, identifying therapy goals, and monitoring the progress of children with language disorders. Despite these widely recognized advantages, previous surveys suggest the declining use of LSA by speech-language pathologists (SLPs). This study aimed to provide updates on clinical LSA use following the recent introduction of two new LSA protocols, namely, the Sampling Utterances and Grammatical Analysis Revised (SUGAR) protocol and the Computerized Language Analysis KIDEVAL program.

Method:

Survey data from SLPs practicing in the United States (
N
= 337) were used to examine rates of LSA use, methods, and protocols. Factors predicting LSA use and reported facilitators and barriers were also examined.

Results:

Results indicated that 60% of SLPs used LSA in the past year. LSA skill level, training, and serving preschool or elementary school children predicted LSA use, whereas workplace, caseload, and years of experience were not significant predictors. Most SLPs reported using self-designed LSA protocols (62%), followed by Systematic Analysis of Language Transcripts (23%) and SUGAR (12%) protocols. SLPs who did not use LSA reported limited time (74%), limited resources (59%), and limited expertise (41%) as barriers and identified additional training on LSA computer programs (52%) and access to automatic speech recognition programs (49%) as facilitators to their adoption of LSA.

Conclusions:

Reported rates of LSA use and methods were consistent with previous survey findings. This study's findings highlight the ongoing needs for more extensive preprofessional training in LSA.

Decoding of spatial information from place cells is currently limited to individual brain regions, severely constraining the understanding of the brain's spatial navigation mechanisms. In this study, synchronized detection of dual‐brain region spatial encoding was conducted using brain–computer interface (BCI). Therefore, an implantable microelectrode array (MEA) was developed tailored for the simultaneous detection of neuronal activities in the CA1 of the hippocampus and the Barrel Cortex (BC) of the somatosensory cortex in rats as BCI. The MEA was improved by modifying the nanocomposite PtNP/PEDOT:PSS to improve their electrical properties (reducing impedance from 1.82 ± 0.17 MΩ to 3.4 ± 0.3 kΩ), facilitating neural recordings in freely behaving rats. The neural activities were obtained from the CA1 and the BC simultaneously and validated the existence of place cells in both brain regions. This study highlighted the potential of PtNP/PEDOT:PSS‐modified MEA as BCI in concurrently detecting neural activity associated with spatial encoding in two brain regions, offering novel perspectives on the processing of tactile stimuli and the formation of cognitive maps for navigation.
Height‐dependent LoS probability model for A2G channels incorporating airframe shadowing under built‐up scenario

Published: September 2024

The line of sight (LoS) probability is a key factor for the channel modeling of air‐to‐ground (A2G) communication. However, the existing LoS probability models do not account for the effects of airframe shadowing (AS) and building density, which can cause serious link obstruction and performance loss due to the six‐dimensional (6D) mobility and self‐body of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). In this article, a new LoS probability model is proposed that considers the AS and building density for different UAV heights. Adding to this, the AS is derived in terms of UAV framework and 6D mobility. Next, the machine learning (ML) based graph neural network (GNN) method is developed to learn the features and structure of the urban environment and predict the LoS probability. Then, the GNN model is trained and evaluated based on the ray tracing (RT) data to establish the relationship between model parameters and UAV heights under the building density and AS factors. The interpretation and explanation of the proposed GNN model and prediction are also discussed in this article. It is shown from the simulation analysis that the GNN model accurately captures the effects of AS, building height distributions, and UAV heights, with high accuracy compared to the baseline 3GPP, GCM and NYU models.
Joint waveform design of radar detection, wireless communication and jamming based on chaotic composite modulation
Authors: Chen Jun , Wang Meng , Wang Jie , Wang Fei , Zhou Huiyu
Published: September 2024

In this letter, we address the problem of designing the joint waveform of radar detection, wireless communication and jamming. In the current most powerful filter‐bank multi‐carrier comb spectrum framework, a parameter‐agile time–frequency structure between symbols is elaborated to improve the uncertainty of waveform generation architecture. Furthermore, a novel composite modulation strategy that combines intra‐symbol chaos‐based radar frequency modulation and inter‐symbol chaos‐based phase modulation is proposed for a substantial jamming performance improvement. Simulation results verify that the proposed joint waveform produces a superior jamming performance while satisfying the requirements of radar detection and wireless communication.
Flare-related plasma motions in the outer atmosphere of the RS CVn-type star II Peg
Authors: Cao Dongtao , Gu Shenghong
Published: September 2024

Analogous to solar flares, stellar flares are dramatic explosions in the atmosphere, which may be accompanied by prominence eruptions, coronal mass ejections (CMEs), and other forms of plasma motion. Based on time-resolved spectroscopic observations of the RS CVn-type star II Peg, we aim to search for the potential plasma motions associated with flares. In these observations, we detected part of the gradual decay phase of an optical flare, for which we find a lower limit on the energy of the Hα line of 6.03 × 1033 erg. Converting this Hα energy, we find a bolometric white-light energy of 3.10 × 1035 erg. Moreover, a secondary peak is also observed. After removing a quiescence reference, the Hα residual shows an asymmetric behavior, including both a blueshifted and a redshifted emission component. The former component has a bulk velocity of about −180 km s−1 and extends its velocity to more than −350 km s−1. This phenomenon is likely caused by a prominence eruption event or a chromospheric evaporation process. The latter emission component has a bulk velocity of 130–70 km s−1 and extends its velocity to nearly 400 km s−1. We attribute the redshifted emission component to one or a combination of several possible scenarios: flare-driven coronal rain, chromospheric condensation, backward-directed prominence eruption close to the stellar limb, or falling material in a prominence eruption. The minimum masses of the moving plasmas resulting in the blueshifted and redshifted emission components are estimated to be 0.56 × 1020 g and 1.74 × 1020 g, respectively.

Au Maroc, les politiques agricoles et rurales, pour faciliter leur déploiement, encouragent la mise en place d’organisations de développement local telles que les coopératives. La création massive de ces organisations peut être comprise à la fois comme une stratégie opportuniste de la part des populations rurales, et comme une injonction descendante des pouvoirs publics en vue d’associer ces populations aux responsabilités de développement territorial. L’objectif de l’article est d’analyser la capacité des leaders de ces organisations à se saisir des mécanismes offerts par les pouvoirs publics et les bailleurs de fonds pour mener des actions de développement sur leurs territoires. À travers des entretiens semi-directifs avec les leaders de vingt-deux organisations de développement local dans les oasis de la vallée de Todgha Ferkla, nous analysons comment s’entrecroisent le leadership local, les organisations et les actions de développement dans cet espace. Les résultats montrent l’existence de fortes et multiples structures d’opportunités de création d’organisations de développement local. Ces structures d’opportunités permettent l’émergence de nouveaux types de leaders. Leur rôle dans le développement local est illustré à travers deux exemples. L’accompagnement technique, institutionnel et stratégique de ces organisations, ainsi que la réussite de la relève des leaders actuels, pourraient constituer un gage de pérennité de leurs actions de développement territorial.

Background and study aims Killian-Jamieson diverticulum (KJD) is a rare type of esophageal diverticulum that occurs in a specific area called the Killian-Jamieson space. Although surgery has been the conventional treatment for symptomatic KJD, minimally invasive endoscopic techniques, particularly Killian-Jamieson per-oral endoscopic myotomy (KJ-POEM), have emerged as an alternative. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of KJ-POEM in treating KJD.

Patients and methods This was an international, multicenter, retrospective study that included patients who underwent KJ-POEM for symptomatic KJD from October 16, 2018 to April 12,2023. The primary outcome was clinical success, defined as complete or near-complete resolution of symptoms (i.e., post-procedure Kothari-Haber Score ≤ 2).  Secondary outcomes were technical success (defined as successful completion of all procedural steps), rate and severity of adverse events (AEs), total procedure duration, and symptom recurrence during follow-up.

Results A total of 13 patients (mean age 65.23 years, 6 female) with KJD and a mean pre-procedure Kothari-Haber Score of 6 (standard deviation [SD] 2.16) underwent KJ-POEM across 10 participating centers. Clinical success and technical success were achieved in all cases (100%) with a mean post-procedure Kothari-Haber Score of 0.91 (SD 0.99). There were no AEs and no cases of injury to the recurrent laryngeal nerve. Mean length of hospital stay was 1.09 days (SD 0.74). Mean follow-up time was 9.41 months (SD 10.07) post-procedure. There was no post-procedure symptom recurrence any patient.

Conclusions KJ-POEM is a safe and effective alternative treatment for symptomatic KJD with excellent short/mid-term outcomes.
