Change in action: how infants learn to walk down slopes.

A critical aspect of perception-action coupling is the ability to modify ongoing actions in accordance with variations in the environment. Infants' ability to modify their gait patterns to walk down shallow and steep slopes was examined at three nested time scales. Across sessions, a microgenetic training design showed rapid improvements after the first session in infants receiving concentrated...

Death on the slopes

Introduction The field of cell-death research has matured since pioneering discoveries showed that apoptosis is regulated genetically. Although many of the core caspase-signalling pathways are known, some of the most basic aspects of the biochemistry of mitochondrial apoptosis induction have remained elusive and are, in certain cases, controversial. Research on the metabolic dysfunction that oc...

Boundary slopes (nearly) bound cyclic slopes

Let rm and rM be the least and greatest finite boundary slopes of a hyperbolic knot K in S . We show that any cyclic surgery slopes of K must lie in the interval (rm − 1/2, rM + 1/2). AMS Classification 57M25; 57M27

Where the Slopes Are

For each prime number p which does not divide N there is a linear operator Tp acting on Sk(N,C), known as the p-th Hecke operator. (In fact, the Tp stabilize Sk(N,Q).) A modular form which is an eigenvector for all of these linear operators simultaneously is called an eigenform; the space Sk(N,C) has a basis made up of eigenforms, and the Fourier coefficients of these eigenforms can be normaliz...
