A Spectroscopic Paradox: The Interaction of Methanol with ZSM-5 at Room Temperature

The adsorption of methanol in HZSM-5 at low temperatures has long been regarded as an associative process involving hydrogen bonding to the acidic zeolite hydroxyl groups. Recent studies employing inelastic neutron scattering spectroscopy (INS) have reported that complete dissociation to methoxylate the zeolite occurs at 298 K, and infrared evidence for a partial dissociation at 298 K has also been described. Here we investigate the apparent contradictions between different techniques, using a combination of INS, infrared spectroscopy and solid-state NMR spectroscopy, including isotopic substitution experiments. Different possible explanations are proposed and considered; we conclude that at room temperature methanol is very largely associatively adsorbed, although the presence of some small extent (>1%) of methoxylation cannot be ruled out.

Music, Vibrotactile Mediation and Bodily Sensations in Anorexia Nervosa: "It's Like I can Really Feel My Heart Beating"

This article presents the theoretical, scientific, and methodological foundations for the design and implementation of an innovative technological and clinical platform that combined sound, music, and vibrotactile mediation used in a therapeutic setting by adolescents suffering from anorexia nervosa. In 2019, we carried out a pilot experiment with a group of 8 adolescent patients hospitalized in the Eating Disorders Unit of the Department of Adolescent and Young Adult Psychiatry of the Institut Mutualiste Montsouris in Paris. Within this clinical framework, we aimed to create conditions suitable for patients to reinvest in their “disaffected” bodily zones and internal experiences through reflecting on the sensations, emotions, and ideas generated by the sensory experiences created when sound and musical stimuli are transmitted through vibrations. The findings demonstrate the ways in which adolescent patients made use of the platform’s audiovibrotactile mediating objects to express a personal associative process through speech during their exchanges with clinical psychologists.

Thinking through Poetry

“Thinking through poetry” refers to an associative process of poetic structure, through which Du Fu explores a basic issue. In “Getting Rid of the Blues” the poet addresses the question of empire as circulation, “that which goes far.” The antithetical term is the local, “that which cannot go far.” Poetry is something that circulates throughout the empire, but it often carries the image of the local and, through the image, a desire for what even the emperor cannot have: fresh, ripe lychees.

Beyond Rescorla-Wagner: the ups and downs of learning

We check the robustness of a recently proposed dynamical model of associative Pavlovian learning that extends the Rescorla-Wagner (RW) model in a natural way and predicts progressively damped oscillations in the response of the subjects. Using the data of two experiments, we compare the dynamical oscillatory model (DOM) with a non-associative oscillatory model (NAOM) made of the superposition of the RW learning curve and oscillations. Not only do data clearly show an oscillatory pattern, but they also favour the DOM over the NAOM, thus pointing out that these oscillations are the manifestation of an associative process. The latter is interpreted as the fact that subjects make predictions on trial outcomes more extended in time than in the RW model, but with more uncertainty.

Agama Dan Interaksi Sosial: Potret Harmoni Beragama Di Wiyono Kabupaten Pesawaran

In its capacity as social beings, humans tend to relate and interact with their environment. As for social interaction, it is always preceded by social contact and communication. This contact is then followed by processes that are associative or disassociative or opposition. The associative process begins with cooperation then continues with accommodation, assimilation, and acculturation. This research focuses on efforts to portray the harmonization of religious communities in the Wiyoni area of Pesawaran District. From the results of the study it can be concluded that: Social interactions that occur are more directed at dynamic interactions where the occurrence of mutually beneficial two-way interactions that result in associative interactions that are mutually reinforcing. So that this leads to the realization of harmonization in inter-religious life. While the factors that support the occurrence of interaction are mutual respect between one religion to another (Islam and Christianity), support from religious leaders, and ethnically in the village. Wiyono is mostly Javanese who culturally promote culture of mutual respect for each other.

POLA INTERAKSI MASYARAKAT ARAB – SUNDA DI KABUPATEN PURWAKARTA

AbstrakInteraksi sosial sebagai faktor utama dalam kehidupan sosial, didasarkan pada komunikasi. Proses interaksi adalah suatu proses yang mengharuskan adanya suatu kerja sama antara dua atau lebih kelompok. Kondisi itu terjadi dalam proses asosiatif antara masyarakat Arab dan Sunda di Kabupaten Purwakarta. Interaksi sosial antara kedua etnis tersebut sangat mewarnai kehidupan sosial di daerah Purwakarta. Abstract Social interaction is a primary factor in social life, based on communications. The main interaction process is an associative process. It is a process that requires teamwork between two people or more. This condition occurs in associative process between the Arabian people and Sundanese people in Purwakarta. The social interaction between two ethnics greatly affects the social life in Purwakarta.

Knowledge as a factor in the associative process: an experience in forming a business networking group/El conocimiento, determinante en procesos de asociatividad: una experiencia en conformación de redes empresariales

El presente artículo muestra el resultado de la experiencia en un ejercicio de investigación, que aplicó un diseño metodológico de participación-acción, para conformar una red empresarial con productores del sector lechero del departamento de Boyacá, siguiendo las orientaciones metodológicas de Dini (2010), para la construcción de confianza y la definición de apuestas colectivas. El proceso implicó grupos focales, talleres y mesas de discusión, a través de las cuales se hizo posible el seguimiento a las variables: conocimiento del individuo y disposición a la asociatividad. La valoración cuantitativa de los datos sobre estas dos variables, permitió hallar el coeficiente de correlación de Pearson. El análisis reporta un valor de 0,82 que explica una correlación positiva, lo cual confirma que la presencia de conocimiento individual incide directa y positivamente en la disposición para trabajar bajo modelos asociativos.

Abstraction and generalization in statistical learning: implications for the relationship between semantic types and episodic tokens

Statistical approaches to emergent knowledge have tended to focus on the process by which experience of individual episodes accumulates into generalizable experience across episodes. However, there is a seemingly opposite, but equally critical, process that such experience affords: the process by which, from a space of types (e.g. onions—a semantic class that develops through exposure to individual episodes involving individual onions), we can perceive or create, on-the-fly, a specific token (a specific onion, perhaps one that is chopped) in the absence of any prior perceptual experience with that specific token. This article reviews a selection of statistical learning studies that lead to the speculation that this process—the generation, on the basis of semantic memory, of a novel episodic representation—is itself an instance of a statistical, in fact associative, process. The article concludes that the same processes that enable statistical abstraction across individual episodes to form semantic memories also enable the generation, from those semantic memories, of representations that correspond to individual tokens, and of novel episodic facts about those tokens. Statistical learning is a window onto these deeper processes that underpin cognition. This article is part of the themed issue ‘New frontiers for statistical learning in the cognitive sciences’.

A WCET Test Method Based on Associative Process Communication

The Real-time system estimates the worst-case execution time (WCET) of the program to ensure the real-time requirements of the system. In this paper, a test method based on Associative Process Communication (APC) is put forward. First it tests the WCET value of basic blocks of ICFG through the use of APC algorithm, and then estimates the WCET by analyzing the worst execution path of the basic block. APC test method tests all benchmarks of Mälardalen. And the test results show that the proposed test method is precise and effective, and the test error is within the theoretical analysis.
