In this thesis the implementation of the explicitly correlated coupled-cluster singles-and-doubles model is presented. This tool is capable of efficiently calculating CCSD energies at the basis set limit with relatively small orbital basis sets. The implementation supports RHF, UHF and ROHF reference wave functions. The usefulness of the developed tool is illustrated with selected chemical applications.

Improvements in task performance following practice can occur as a result of changes in distinct cognitive and neural processes. In some cases, we can improve our performance by selecting a more successful behavior that is already part of our available repertoire. Skill learning, on the other hand, refers to a slower process that results in improving the ability to perform a behavior, i.e., it involves the acquisition of a behavior that was not available to the controller before training. Skill learning can take place both in the sensory and in the motor domains. Sensory skill acquisition in perceptual learning tasks is measured by improvements in sensory acuity through practice-induced changes in the sensitivity of relevant neural networks. Motor skill is harder to define as the term is used whenever a motor learning behavior improves along some dimension. Nevertheless, we have recently argued that as in perceptual learning, acuity is an integral component in motor skill learning. In this special topic we set out to integrate experimental and theoretical work on perceptual and motor skill learning and to stimulate a discussion regarding the similarities and differences between these two kinds of learning.

Identifying and planning green infrastructures at the regional scale can be considered an intentional way of spreading the positive impacts of environmental conservation policies across spatial contexts much more complex and larger than protected areas. In this volume, a methodological approach is defined and experimentally implemented into the Sardinian region (Italy), in order to identify both a regional green infrastructure, and a network of ecological corridors, conceived as edges connecting the regional protected areas. This approach supports spatial decision-making processes aimed at addressing environmental hazards connected to landslides and floods, as well as at establishing effective spatial planning rules.

Doelstelling: Deze masterproef handelt over causale coherentierelaties in Engelse bronteksten en hun Nederlandse vertalingen. Aan de hand van een krantencorpus en een romancorpus worden de frequentie en de vertaling in het Nederlands van zes Engelse causale uitdrukkingen (of connectieven) "because, so, because of, since, therefore en thus" bestudeerd. We onderzoeken deze connectieven binnen de drie domeinen die Sweetser (1990) voorstelt: het content domein (volitional of non-volitional), het epistemische domein en het speech act domein. Daarnaast bekijken we of de expliciete causale uitdrukkingen in de bronteksten expliciet vertaald worden of impliciet blijven in de doelteksten. Middelen of methode: Het krantencorpus bestaat uit artikels in drie Engelse kranten en de bijhorende vertalingen gepubliceerd in drie Vlaamse kranten. Het romancorpus omvat drie Engelse romans en de Nederlandse vertalingen. Gealigneerde zinnen uit beide corpora worden aan de hand van Kwalitan toegewezen aan een of meerdere van Sweetsers domeinen. Resultaten: "Because" blijkt de meest frequente causale uitdrukking en "thus" komt het minst voor. De meest voorkomende vertalingen zijn "omdat, want, dus en daarom." Vaak zijn de causale uitdrukkingen tegelijk voorbeelden van content relaties en epistemische relaties. De expliciete uitdrukking van connectieven in de brontekst wordt grotendeels behouden in de doeltekst: ongeveer 80% van de Engelse causale uitdrukkingen wordt in het Nederlands geëxpliciteerd.

This is the only book that examines the theory and data on the development of implicit and explicit memory. It first describes the characteristics of implicit and explicit memory (including conscious recollection) and tasks used with adults to measure them. Next, it reviews the brain mechanisms thought to underlie implicit and explicit memory and the studies with amnesics that initially prompted the search for different neuroanatomically-based memory systems. Two chapters review the Jacksonian (first in, last out) principle and empirical evidence for the hierarchical appearance and dissolution of two memory systems in animal models (rats, nonhuman primates), children, and normal/amnesic adults. Two chapters examine memory tasks used with human infants and evidence of implicit and explicit memory during early infancy. Three final chapters consider structural and processing accounts of adult memory dissociations, their applicability to infant memory dissociations, and implications of infant data for current concepts of implicit and explicit memory. (Series B).
