Corela, 2014 Some studies on second language learning show that learners cannot reach the level of native speakers. Even at an advanced stage, learners' productions can be characterized by phenomena known as "fossilisation" and "nativisation" (Selinker & Lamendella ...

Development of a generic focal spot measurement method suitable for bore‐type linacs
Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.Abstract Purpose In linear accelerators, deviations in the x‐ray focal spot position significantly affect the accuracy of radiation therapy. However, as the focal spot position in bore‐type linac systems such as the Radixact system, cannot be assessed using conventional methods, a new evaluation method is required.

Assessment of a medical physics educational program for science teachers
Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction Medical physics is a fulfilling profession where physics is applied to advance human health. However, many are uninformed of the role of physicists in medicine, and students are unaware of this career pathway. This study presents a pilot 1‐year program for science teachers to learn about physics in medicine and share with students

Time Is Not More Abstract Than Space in Sound
Frontiers in Psychology, 2019 Time is talked about in terms of space more frequently than the other way around. Some have suggested that this asymmetry runs deeper than language. The idea that we think about abstract domains (like time) in terms of relatively more concrete domains ...

Design and validation of a novel dosimetry phantom for motion management audits
Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.Abstract Background We present a novel phantom design for conducting end‐to‐end dosimetry audits for respiratory motion management of two anatomical treatment sites. The design enables radiochromic film measurements of the dose administered to the target throughout the respiratory cycle (motion‐included) and the dose delivered to the time‐averaged ...

A Python package for fast GPU‐based proton pencil beam dose calculation
Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.Abstract Purpose Open‐source GPU‐based Monte Carlo (MC) proton dose calculation algorithms provide high speed and unparalleled accuracy but can be complex to integrate with new applications and remain slower than GPU‐based pencil beam (PB) methods, which sacrifice some physical accuracy for sub‐second plan calculation.

Travelling in Time and Space at the Origins of Language
Humana.Mente: Journal of Philosophical Studies, 2014 In this paper we propose a narrative hypothesis on the nature of language and a proto-discursive hypothesis on the origin of our communicative abilities. Our proposal is based on two assumptions.

Whorfian potential in child language
Psychology of Language and Communication, 2018 As toddlers begin the language acquisition process, event memory and the capacity for dead-reckoning are developing in the cognitive domain, providing the potential to think about the relative location of events in time and objects in space.

Concept of time in language and text (contextual time markers)
Językoznawstwo, 2021 The aim of this paper is to study different time representations in language and text. Time is an abstract category firmly connected to human life, it can be considered to be the fourth dimension of reality, used to describe events in three-dimensional ...
