AFM in a split second

The impact of a split-second error.

Second international AFM BioMed Conference on AFM in life sciences and medicine, 16-18 October 2008, Monterey, CA, USA.

Founded in June 2006, AFM BioMed organized its first international conference from 19 to 21 April 2007 in Barcelona (Pellequer et al., 2007). Hosted by Universitat de Barcelona, IBEC and the CEA, this event welcomed approximately 220 scientists from 24 countries reflecting the strong and rapidly growing enthusiasm for the use of AFM in the life sciences and medicine (Parot et al., 2007). The se...

the effectiveness of strategy-based instruction in teaching english as a second or foreign language: a meta-analysis of experimental studies

a large number of single research studies on the effects of strategy-based instruction (sbi) in teaching english as a foreign or second language has been conducted so far. however, the lack of a comprehensive meta-analysis targeting the effectiveness of english language sbi is observed. moreover, the findings of experimental studies regarding the context of the english language, proficiency lev...

A KIND OF F-INVERSE SPLIT MODULES

Let M be a right module over a ring R. In this manuscript, we shall study on a special case of F-inverse split modules where F is a fully invariant submodule of M introduced in [12]. We say M is Z 2(M)-inverse split provided f^(-1)(Z2(M)) is a direct summand of M for each endomorphism f of M. We prove that M is Z2(M)-inverse split if and only if M is a direct...

More Than Meets the Eye: Split-Second Social Perception.

Recent research suggests that visual perception of social categories is shaped not only by facial features but also by higher-order social cognitive processes (e.g., stereotypes, attitudes, goals). Building on neural computational models of social perception, we outline a perspective of how multiple bottom-up visual cues are flexibly integrated with a range of top-down processes to form percept...
