The last few years have seen the publication of a number of studies by researchers claiming to have induced "synaesthesia," "pseudo-synaesthesia," or "synaesthesia-like" phenomena in non-synaesthetic participants. Although the intention of these studies has been to try and shed light on the way in which synaesthesia might have been acquired in developmental synaesthestes, we argue that they may...
متن کاملInvaded cluster algorithm for Potts models.
The invaded cluster algorithm, a method for simulating phase transitions, is described in detail. Theoretical, albeit nonrigorous, justification of the method is presented and the algorithm is applied to Potts models in two and three dimensions. The algorithm is shown to be useful for both first-order and continuous transitions and evidently provides an efficient way to distinguish between thes...
متن کاملWhen vertebrates invaded land during the Carboniferous
period, they were exposed not only to new ecological opportunities but also to a desiccating environment (Williams and Tieleman, 2002). To maintain cellular water homeostasis in such an environment, natural selection modified the integument of pioneering terrestrial animals, enabling them to reduce water loss through the skin. Nowhere is this modification of the integument more important than f...
متن کاملHow citrullination invaded rheumatoid arthritis research
Citrullination and the immune response to citrullinated proteins have been fundamental for the early recognition of rheumatoid arthritis by serological tests and a better understanding of its pathophysiology. In the first years after the initial publications, the focus was on the antibodies directed to citrullinated proteins. It is now realized that citrullinating enzymes and citrullinated prot...
