Simultaneously presented signals may be processed in serial or in parallel. One potentially valuable indicant of a system’s characteristics may be the appearance of multi-modality in response time distributions. It is known that standard serial models can predict multimodal RT distributions, but it is unknown whether multimodality is diagnostic of serial systems, or whether alternative architec...

In a series of lectures in 1970,' Professor Grant Gilmore pronounced the death of contract. The announcement heralded a renaissance in contract scholarship. The renaissance has reached maturity: in the past two years no less than four major books have been published on contract, and these books do not exhaust the multitudinous positions on contract that have been espoused in the law reviews, ec...

We study the bifurcations associated with stability of the inverted (stationary) state in the parametrically forced pendulum by varying the driving amplitude ǫ and frequency ω. We first note that the inverted state is unstable for ǫ = 0. However, as ǫ is increased, the inverted state exhibits a cascade of “resurrections,” i.e., it becomes stabilized after its instability, destabilize again, and...

Although over 500 articles have been published in the last 5 years on vertebroplasty, a fundamental question remains—is vertebroplasty a safe and eff ective procedure to reduce pain and disability for patients with vertebral compression fractures? Initial enthusiasm for vertebroplasty was driven by clinician experience and meta-analysis of large observational series showing patient benefi t. Th...

Recent studies implicate Hsp104/Clp family chaperones in both protein disaggregation and protein degradation. How do these homologous ring-shaped complexes function in such different ways?

The resurrection approach is a powerful tool for estimating phenotypic evolution in response to global change. Ancestral generations, revived from dormant propagules, are grown side by side with descendent generations in the same environment. Phenotypic differences between the generations can be attributed to genetic change over time. Project Baseline was established to capitalize on this poten...
