Li, X. (Xiaobai). "Reading subtle information from human faces." Doctoral thesis, Oulun yliopisto, 2017. http://urn.fi/urn:isbn:9789526216386.

Abstract:

Abstract The face plays an important role in our social interactions as it conveys rich sources of information. We can read a lot from one face image, but there is also information we cannot perceive without special devices. The thesis concerns using computer vision methodologies to analyse two kinds of subtle facial information that can hardly be perceived by naked eyes: the micro-expression (ME), and the heart rate (HR). MEs are rapid, involuntary facial expressions which reveal emotions people do not intend to show. It is difficult for people to perceive MEs as they are too fast and subtle,

Abstract:

Coding and decoding information into and from (bio)macromolecules is of pivotal importance for most processes in nature. A simple readout methodology constitutes a key challenge for data-storage in artificial molecules. The determination of the comonomer-order in synthetic sequence-defined macromolecules, however, requires elaborate analytical techniques. The herein presented work focuses on the synthesis of sequence-defined macromolecules via photochemical ligation reactions, and ultimately the development of a novel fluorescence-based readout of the comonomer-order.

Abstract:

This thesis investigates three contemporary Canadian texts— Ruth Ozeki’s A Tale for the Time Being, Margaret Atwood’s Oryx and Crake, and Rita Wong’s forage—that treat information as an object that can be wasted and recuperated. Using information theory and a new sub-field of critical waste theory called “Discard Studies,” I explore how the authors studied in this thesis place these two lines of thought alongside one another to examine how the concept of recycling information challenges the material, cultural, and ideological structures that distance humans from their waste. Specifically, I re

Abstract:

A survey investigating the reading and information needs of elderly Punjabis was conducted in Bradford and Derbyshire. A questionnaire was prepared which was used as a structured interview. 120 interviews were recorded, 60 from each authority. This number included Hindus, Moslems and Sikhs and the generic term 'Punjabi' was used for these three distinct religious groups. Women were also included in this survey to see if they have any different requirements from men. Reading and information material included print and nonprint material. This research presents the actual needs of elderly Punjabi

Abstract:

I examined the processing of stereotype-relevant information during reading, in particular the degree to which stereotype-mismatch detection and resolution are resource-dependent. In addition I investigated the effects of stereotype-relevant episodic representations on subsequent linguistic and non-linguistic processing. Experiment 1 showed that reading participants looked longer at pronouns that mismatched the stereotypical gender of the agent than at stereotype-matching pronouns (e.g., “...the secretary familiarised herself/ himself...”). Experiment 1 also showed that mismatch detection can

Abstract:

This research examines the role of phonological information in recognizing Chinese characters. A converging methods approach was taken, employing diverse experimental paradigms to address both theoretical and empirical questions. The experiments provided strong and positive evidence for the role played by orthographic codes as well as the absence of prelexical phonological effects in reading Chinese. In two masked priming experiments, orthographic masked priming was observed consistently across the lexical decision and the naming tasks despite of the fact the primes were phonologically unrelat

Abstract:

New literacies in reading research demand for the study of comprehension skills using multiple modalities, through a more complex, multi-platform view of reading. Taking into account the robust roll of technology in our daily lives, research suggests that educators need activities to connect students' lack of reading skills with their growing multimodal literacy. During the post-reading phase of a directed reading activity (DRA), students were engaged in digital storytelling, where they created digital videos and slideshows based on information text read during DRA.

Abstract:

Six experiments were conducted to address the role of phonological information in visual word recognition. A semantic decision task was used to ensure that word meanings were accessed. Experiments 1-4 showed that subjects make more false positive errors on homophone foils (e.g. living thing-FLEE) than on spelling controls (e.g. living thing-FLEX) only when both members of the homophone pair are uncommon and are similarly spelled. In Experiment 5, there was an increase in errors on low but not high frequency homophone category exemplars when they were preceded by a word related to the other mem

Opinnäytetyöni tutkimusaihe käsittelee lukumotivaatiota. Aihe löytyi syksyllä 2013 Lukuinto-projektin kautta, jossa yhtenä aliprojektina oli jääkiekkoa pelaavien poikien lukemista tutkiva projekti Kiekkoja ja Kirjoja. Syntyi ajatus lukumotivaation parantamisesta pelaamalla. Aihetta ei ole juurikaan tutkittu aiemmin ja lukumotivaatiota parantamaan pyrkivän pelin luominen tutkimusobjektiksi tuntui kiehtovalta. Aihe on tärkeä ja ajankohtainen, sillä esimerkiksi PISA-tutkimuksissa lukumotivaation ja lukemistaitojen on osoitettu vähentyneen viime vuosien aikana. Aihe on ollut esillä myös mediassa.

Although fictional stories are not always an accurate source of information about the world, research has suggested that readers encode information from such stories in a manner that allows it to be freely retrieved and used in later situations.

Second, based on the observation that wa-phrases in all-focus and subject-focus sentences induce the contrastive reading, I argue and demonstrate that the contrastive reading arises when wa-phrases are part of focus.
