POWERS quantifies four types of information: turns and types of turns (including minimal turns that hand back the conversational to the partner and substantive turns that in POWERS are defined as containing a content word); lexical retrieval; trouble-indicating behaviours; breakdown and collaborative repair.
Two p w i i matrices were obtained by aligning all 3' and 5' splice sites respectively, and by computing how frequently base w i appears at position i. 5' (donor) splices sites are defined as containing 3 exonic and 7 intronic bases, while 3' (acceptor) splice sites contain 3 exonic and 26 intronic bases [ 64, 66].
A monostrain probiotic is defined as containing one strain of a certain species and consequently multistrain probiotics contain more than one strain of the same species or, at least of the same genus.
A time bin was defined as containing artifacts if any of these three indices had a z-score larger than 5, or if any two of these three indices had z-scores larger than 3. Ripple events were extracted using exactly the same procedure as in a previous study27.
In Hintikka (1996: 149) this logic is termed truth-functionally extended IF first-order logic – in contradistinction to 'extended IF first-order logic,' which in Hintikka (1991: 47, 1996: 149) and Hintikka & Sandu (1997) is defined as containing, in addition to IFL formulas, only formulas ¬φ, where φ is an IFL formula (or sentence).
