On 13 July 2004, during an expedition exploring biodiversity along the northern Mid-Atlantic Ridge, ROV dive recorded videos of numerous sublinear sets holes in sediment at ca. 2,082 m depth. The location was north Azores. Each set appeared track-like. Lengths individual series ranged from < 1 to many meters. straight or gently curved. Some intersected crossed. Close examination showed t...

The context for this paper is Feferman's theory of explicit mathematics, T 0. We address a problem that was posed in F 82]. Let MID be the principle stating that any monotone operation on classiications has a least xed point. The main objective of this paper is to show that T 0 + MID, when based on classical logic, also proves the existence of non-monotone inductive deenitions that arise from a...

The teratogenic mechanism(s) of valproate (VPA) have been suggested to arise through inhibition of proliferation coupled with differentiation at a mid-G1 phase restriction point in the cell cycle. As protein kinase C (PKC) plays a pivotal role in cell proliferation and differentiation, the effect of inhibitors specific for the catalytic and regulatory domains on transit through the G1 phase of ...

Humans can perceive the motion of living beings from very impoverished stimuli like point-light displays. How the visual system achieves the robust generalization from normal to point-light stimuli remains an unresolved question. We present evidence on multiple levels demonstrating that this generalization might be accomplished by an extraction of simple mid-level optic flow features within coa...

This paper investigates production of the mid vowels /e, ɛ, ø, œ, o, ɔ/ by four speakers of New Caledonian French (NCF). Formant and durational properties of these vowels are examined with respect to the type of syllable in which they occur. Results point to general adherence to the loi de position in NCF, such that the close-mid vowels occur in open syllables and the open-mid vowels occur in c...

Let \(\psi\) be a Blaschke product and \(d\theta(\mathop{\rm supp}\psi)=0\). In this paper we prove that the functions of Bourgain algebra \( (\psi H^\infty (D), L^\infty (D))_b \) have essential non-tangential limit at almost every point \(T=\{z:\mid z\mid = 1\}\).

We attempted to elucidate the corticospinal tract location at the posterior limb of the internal capsule in the human brain. Ten healthy volunteers were recruited. Probabilistic mapping was performed using the functional MRI activation resulting from a hand motor task as region of interest 1 and the corticospinal tract area of the anterior pons as region of interest 2. The average location of t...

OBJECTIVES Functional tricuspid regurgitation (FTR) is generally caused by the dilation of the tricuspid annulus (TA) and the tethering of tricuspid leaflets; however, it also occurs in patients without dilatation of the TA. The aim of this study was to develop and to use a four-dimensional tracking system, utilizing cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and to assess TA flexibility in pati...

This research focused on mid-term planning representing the tactical level of supply chain management among manufacturers. Mid-term planning is based on established frame contracts between suppliers and customers. Demand forecasts and early customer orders (from retailers or consumers) are the starting point for performing planning runs involving logistical functions such as procurement, produc...
