Boolean function is constant or not ∗
We study the probability of making an error if, by querying an oracle a fixed number of times, we declare constant a randomly chosen n-bit Boolean function. We compare the classical and the quantum case, and we determine for how many oracle-queries k and for how many bits n one querying procedure is more efficient than the other.
متن کاملProteins Involved in Otoconia Formation and Maintenance
The vestibule of the inner ear senses head motion for spatial orientation and bodily balance. In vertebrates, the vestibular system consists of three fluid filled semicircular canals, which detect rotational acceleration, and two gravity receptor organs, the utricle and saccule, which respond to linear acceleration and gravity (Figure 1). The utricle and saccule are also referred to as the otol...
متن کاملOsteopontin is a critical inhibitor of calcium oxalate crystal formation and retention in renal tubules.
Calcium nephrolithiasis is the most common form of renal stone disease, with calcium oxalate (CaOx) being the predominant constituent of renal stones. Current in vitro evidence implicates osteopontin (OPN) as one of several macromolecular inhibitors of urinary crystallization with potentially important actions at several stages of CaOx crystal formation and retention. To determine the importanc...
متن کاملEndocannabinoid Signaling is Critical for Habit Formation
Extended training can induce a shift in behavioral control from goal-directed actions, which are governed by action-outcome contingencies and sensitive to changes in the expected value of the outcome, to habits which are less dependent on action-outcome relations and insensitive to changes in outcome value. Previous studies in rats have shown that interval schedules of reinforcement favor habit...
متن کاملProcess Writing and Enhancement of Critical Thinking Ability: Is Writing a Vehicle or an Ingredient of Critical Thinking?
The study aimed to investigate the relationship between process writing (PW) and critical thinking (CT) ability of Iranian EFL learners. Furthermore, the role of PW in the enhancement of CT was investigated. In so doing, 125 upper-intermediate language learners were selected from Islamic Azad University based on convenience sampling. The results of pretest administration indicated that particip...
