TL;DR: It is argued that the decrease in imitation of meaningful actions, relative to meaningless actions, is caused by a damage of the semantic route, and that the decline in imitation is produced by a breakdown of the direct route.
Abstract: Previous studies have suggested that imitators can reproduce known gestures shown by a model using a semantic, indirect route, and novel gestures using a sublexical, direct route. In the present study we aimed at testing the validity of such a dual-route model of action imitation. Patients with either left-brain damage (LBD) or right-brain damage (RBD) were tested on an action imitation task. Actions were either meaningful (n ¼ 20) or meaningless (n ¼ 20), and were presented in an intermingled list and, on a different day, in separate lists. We predicted that, in the mixed condition, patients would use a direct route to imitate meaningful and meaningless actions, as it allows the imitation of both action types. In the blocked condition, patients were expected to select the semantic route for meaningful actions and the direct route for meaningless actions. As hypothesized, none of the 32 patients showed dissociations between imitation of meaningful and meaningless actions in the mixed presentation. In contrast, eight patients showed a dissociation between imitation of meaningful actions and imitation of meaningless actions in the blocked presentation. Moreover, two of these patients showed a classical double dissociation between the imitation of the two action types. Results were interpreted in support of the validity of a dual-route model for explaining action imitation. We argue that the decrease in imitation of meaningful actions, relative to meaningless actions, is caused by a damage of the semantic route, and that the decline in imitation of meaningless actions, relative to meaningful actions, is produced by a breakdown of the direct route. The brain areas that were lesioned in all six LBD patients who showed a dissociation were in the superior temporal gyrus and the angular gyrus, whereas the two RBD subjects had common lesions of the pallidum and of the putamen. The brain structures affected in our patients with selective apraxia are consistent with those reported before in other neuropsychological reports. They are also in agreement with areas found activated in imaging studies in which the neural mechanisms underlying imitation were examined.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors generalized the scattering theory of the integrable statistical models to the case of systems with extended lines of defect, by adding the reflection and transmission amplitudes for the interactions with the line of inhomogeneity to the scattering amplitudes in the bulk.

TL;DR: In this article, the CORE space mission is used to map the polarisation of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) and the performance of the mission is evaluated.
Abstract: We forecast the main cosmological parameter constraints achievable with the CORE space mission which is dedicated to mapping the polarisation of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB). CORE was recently submitted in response to ESA's fifth call for medium-sized mission proposals (M5). Here we report the results from our pre-submission study of the impact of various instrumental options, in particular the telescope size and sensitivity level, and review the great, transformative potential of the mission as proposed. Specifically, we assess the impact on a broad range of fundamental parameters of our Universe as a function of the expected CMB characteristics, with other papers in the series focusing on controlling astrophysical and instrumental residual systematics. In this paper, we assume that only a few central CORE frequency channels are usable for our purpose, all others being devoted to the cleaning of astrophysical contaminants. On the theoretical side, we assume ΛCDM as our general framework and quantify the improvement provided by CORE over the current constraints from the Planck 2015 release. We also study the joint sensitivity of CORE and of future Baryon Acoustic Oscillation and Large Scale Structure experiments like DESI and Euclid. Specific constraints on the physics of inflation are presented in another paper of the series. In addition to the six parameters of the base ΛCDM, which describe the matter content of a spatially flat universe with adiabatic and scalar primordial fluctuations from inflation, we derive the precision achievable on parameters like those describing curvature, neutrino physics, extra light relics, primordial helium abundance, dark matter annihilation, recombination physics, variation of fundamental constants, dark energy, modified gravity, reionization and cosmic birefringence. In addition to assessing the improvement on the precision of individual parameters, we also forecast the post-CORE overall reduction of the allowed parameter space with figures of merit for various models increasing by as much as ~ 107 as compared to Planck 2015, and 105 with respect to Planck 2015 + future BAO measurements.

TL;DR: In this paper, the first-order Raman intensities of alpha-quartz were derived using a first-principles density functional approach, with an average error of 13% for relative intensities.
Abstract: Using a first-principles density functional approach, we calculate the first-order Raman intensities of alpha -quartz. The dynamical charge tensors, vibrational frequencies and eigenmodes, and polarizability tensors are obtained within a perturbational approach. We calculate Raman intensities by evaluating the variation of the polarizability tensors for finite displacements of the atoms. Calculated intensities agree well with experimental data, showing an average error of 13% for relative intensities. Using our first-principles results as reference, we critically examine simple models for the Raman activity. We first consider a bond polarizability model, for which the parameters are derived from our first-principles results for alpha -quartz. This model reproduces the first-principles intensities with an average error of 15%. In the attempt of reducing this error, we then introduce a model in which the symmetry of the first neighbor shell is accounted for in the most general way. For alpha -quartz, this model extends the bond polarizability model, which is recovered as a special case. The model, which fully accounts for the local symmetry, describes the first-principles results within an average error of 12%, marginally improving upon the bond polarizability model (15%). However, when these models with parameters derived for alpha -quartz are applied to a cristobalite polymorph, only the bond polarizability model shows good transferability properties. These results support the use of the bond polarizability model as a simple scheme for calculating Raman intensities in tetrahedrally bonded SiO2 systems.
