Rapid movements to a target are ballistic; they usually do not last long enough for visual feedback about errors to influence them. Yet, the brain is not simply precomputing movement trajectory. Classical models of movement control involve a feedback loop that subtracts 'where we are now' from 'where we want to be'. That difference is an internal motor error. The feedback loop reduces this erro...

Theoretical progress in understanding the dynamics of spreading processes on graphs suggests the existence of an epidemic threshold below which no epidemics form and above which epidemics spread to a significant fraction of the graph. We have observed information cascades on the social media site Digg that spread fast enough for one initial spreader to infect hundreds of people, yet end up affe...

The death stops here lants rely on a sensitive process of programmed cell death to curtail pathogenic infection by selectively executing infected cells. To prevent the death response from spreading to noninfected areas, cells near and at the site of infection activate autophagy, say and colleagues. In virus-infected plants that are unable to turn on autophagy, cell death spreads from the site o...

Bus systems in the United States are unattractive to many potential riders because of their lack of efficiency, especially with regard to travel time. One of the reasons services are not more efficient has to do with the spacing of bus stops. After using a nearest facility algorithm with an 800 m walking distance threshold to identify eligible bus stops in the current bus system in the city of ...

The advance of GPS tracking technique brings a large amount of trajectory data. To better understand such mobility data, semantic models like “stop/move” (or inferring “activity”, “transportation mode”) recently become a hot topic for trajectory data analysis. Stops are important parts of trajectories, such as “working at office”, “shopping in a mall”, “waiting for the bus”. There are several m...

Palatal stops and affricates are relatively rare in the world’s languages, compared to velar stops and postalveolar affricates. In some languages, palatal stops underwent a diachronic shift and merged with postalveolar affricates. This study undertakes a spectral analysis of palatal stops in two Romance varieties, i.e. the dialect of San Giovanni in Fiore (spoken in a small town of Calabria, so...

Sudden stops can be characterized by sharp reversals in capital inflows, large declines in output, and steep collapses in real asset prices (Mendoza and Smith, 2009). In almost all recent crises, capital account reversals amounting to more than 10% of an afflicted country’s GDP have occurred (Calvo and Reinhart, 1999 and Nabli, 1999). More specifically, reversals in capital flows to emergin...

Due to technology and its daily continuous advancing and enhancement the users dealing with it are hungry for the best and better quality of service and this demand never stops, from this point came the idea of my research which aims to enhance the mobile network using the LOAD BALANCE and its algorithm to make it better ,in my research am requiring a HANDOVER process to be involved to get the ...
