Converging lines of evidence from diverse research domains suggest that the left and right hemispheres play distinct, yet complementary, roles in inferential reasoning. Here, we review research on split-brain patients, brain-damaged patients, delusional patients, and healthy individuals that suggests that the left hemisphere tends to create explanations, make inferences, and bridge gaps in info...

This article explores the profoundly gendered nature of the split between the disciplines of economics and sociology that took place in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, emphasizing implications for current efforts to bring the fields more closely together. Drawing on historical documents and feminist studies of science, it investigates the gendered processes underlying the divergence of ...

In recent years, split-belt treadmill adaptation has emerged as a model paradigm used to study the neuromechanics of human locomotor learning. This paradigm is typically characterized by an adaptation period where one belt is driven to move 2-4 times the speed of the other, and a postadaptation period used to assess how much a participant has “learned” from exposure to the split condition. Duri...

An iterative regularization path with structural sparsity is proposed in this paper based on variable splitting and the Linearized Bregman Iteration, hence called Split LBI. Despite its simplicity, Split LBI outperforms the popular generalized Lasso in both theory and experiments. A theory of path consistency is presented that equipped with a proper early stopping, Split LBI may achieve model s...

The split-coloring problem is a generalized vertex coloring problem where we partition the vertices into a minimum number of split graphs. In this paper, we study some notions which are extensively studied for the usual vertex coloring and the cocoloring problem from the point of view of split-coloring, such as criticality and the uniqueness of the minimum split-coloring. We discuss some proper...

The aim of the present investigation was to study the growth, yield and yield components of maize (Zea mays L.) single cross 704 under different levels of irrigation, plant density, and ethephon in southern Iran where this particular crop has not yet been studied in detail. A field experiment was performed in the 2004 5 growing season at the experimental farm of the College of Agriculture, Shir...

OBJECTIVE To determine the second-trimester amniotic fluid concentrations of complement split products in pregnancies subsequently affected by early-onset preeclampsia. STUDY DESIGN Cohort of 731 women with singleton pregnancies undergoing second-trimester genetic amniocentesis followed up to delivery and analyzed as a nested case-control study. Cases of preeclampsia developing before 34 week...

Abstract Sensitive quantification of microRNA (miRNA) plays a crucial role in early diagnosis and precise therapy osteosarcoma. Herein, we build label-free sensitive miRNA approach based on the activation split-DNAzyme initiated primer exchange reaction (PER). Target cooperates with Mg 2+ through assisting assembly DNAzyme to correct conformation, which enables performance PER-based nucleic aci...
