The Hebb repetition effect as a laboratory analogue of novel word learning
(2009)The present study tests the hypothesis that a common ordering mechanism underlies both short-term serial recall of verbal materials and the acquisition of novel long-term lexical representations, using the Hebb repetition ... -
Hedgehog Signalling in Androgen Independent Prostate Cancer
(2008-12-01)Objectives: Androgen-deprivation therapy effectively shrinks hormone-naïve prostate cancer, both in the prostate and at sites of distant metastasis. However prolonged androgen deprivation generally results in relapse and ... -
Hedonic Quality or Reward? A Study of Basic Pleasure in Homeostasis and Decision Making of a Motivated Autonomous Robot
(2016-10-12)We present a robot architecture and experiments to investigate some of the roles that pleasure plays in the decision making (action selection) process of an autonomous robot that must survive in its environment. We have ... -
Hedonic Value : Enhancing Adaptation for Motivated Agents
(2013)Reinforcement learning (RL) in the context of artificial agents is typically used to produce behavioural responses as a function of the reward obtained by interaction with the environment. When the problem consists of ... -
Hegel on Purpose
(2019-08-29)In this paper we propose a new interpretation of Hegel’s views on action and responsibility, defending it against its most plausible exegetical competitors. Any exposition of Hegel will face both terminological and substantive ... -
Helical axis analysis to quantify humeral kinematics during shoulder rotation.
(2019-04-01)Information pertaining to the helical axis during humeral kinematics during shoulder rotation may be of benefit to better understand conditions such as shoulder instability. The aim of this study is to quantify the behavior ... -
Helicopter EMS and rapid transport for ST-elevation myocardial infarction: The HEARTS study
(2017-09-19)Background: Helicopter emergency medical services (HEMS) and ground EMS (GEMS) are both integral parts of out-of-hospital transport systems for patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing emergency ... -
Helium absorption and emission towards Theta^1 ORI C
(1997)The Hei absorption and emission systems towards Theta^1Ori C, the exciting star of the Orion Nebula, are investigated. To this end, high-resolution near-infrared long-slit spectra centred on the Hei 1.083-μm and Brgamma ... -

Helping robots imitate: Metrics and technological solutions inspired by human behaviour
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2009)In this paper we describe three lines of research related to the issue of helping robots imitate people. These studies are based on observed human behaviour, technical metrics and implemented technical solutions. The three ... -
Helplessness, mastery and the development of eating disorders : Exploring the links between vulnerability and precipitating factors
(2012)BACKGROUND: Helplessness and mastery in childhood and in response to the events that trigger onset are implicated in the development of eating disorders. However, no studies have yet explored how these are linked and whether ... -
Hemp fibre as alternative to glass fibre in sheet moulding compound. Part 1 : influence of fibre content and surface treatment on mechanical properties
(2010-07-01)Hemp fibre mat reinforced unsaturated polyester composites were fabricated using a conventional sheet moulding compound process. The influence of fibre and CaCO3 filler content on strength and stiffness of these hemp fibre ... -
