How extra-linguistic goals affect common ground formation
… productions, 2) the relationship between informativity of the reference productions and their length, and 3) how goal habituation affects references produced under different goal states. Consistent effects of condition on the reference production lengths are not observed, however, across …

MOLECULAR GENETICS OF HAEMOPHILIA A IN SINGAPORE
… suitable DNA polymorphisms which reveals maximum informativity in the three major ethnic groups, namely Chinese, Indian and Malay, in Singapore for linkage studies in their respective family members. Four Four intragenic bi-allelic polymorphisms (RFLP) namely G:A - intron 7, BcII - intron 18, …

COGNITION, MODALITY, AND LANGUAGE IN HEALTHY YOUNG ADULTS
… We predicted that working memory would predict informativity in participants’ narrative language samples. We found mixed results for our two measures of informativity (e.g., the Measure of Textual Lexical Diversity and Shannon entropy). We attributed the observed differences in these two …

OPTIMIZED APPROACHES FOR LIQUID BIOPSY IN GLIOBLASTOMA PATIENTS
… clinically compatible strategies to enhance the informativity of liquid biopsy: plasma extracellular vesicles (EVs), 5-aminolevulinic-acid (5-ALA)–induced protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) fluorescence, and focused-ultrasound blood–brain-barrier opening (FUS-BBBO). The objective is to determine whether …

Robust graph transduction
… The difficulty of a superpixel is judged by its informativity, individuality, inhomogeneity, and connectivity. As a result, our saliency detector generates manifest saliency maps, and outperforms baseline methods on the typical public datasets.
