The Simon effect refers to the performance (response time and accuracy) advantage for responses that spatially correspond to the task-irrelevant location of a stimulus. It has been attributed to a natural tendency to respond toward the source of stimulation. When location is task-relevant, however, and responses are intentionally directed away (incompatible) or toward (compatible) the source of...

Eating disorder recovery is an identity transition characterised by ambivalence, in which group memberships play important part. However, our understanding of how groups with different norms (i.e., supportive vs. unsupportive recovery) can facilitate or inhibit limited. To address this gap, study adopted the Social Identity Model Recovery to examine manifest through changing composition individ...

Genetic nonself recognition systems such as vegetative incompatibility operate in many filamentous fungi to regulate hyphal fusion between genetically dissimilar individuals and to restrict the spread of virulence-attenuating mycoviruses that have potential for biological control of pathogenic fungi. We report here the use of a comparative genomics approach to identify seven candidate polymorph...

Identification and characterization of the self-incompatibility genes in Brassicaceae species now allow typing of self-incompatibility haplotypes in natural populations. In this study we sampled and mapped all 88 individuals in a small population of Arabidopsis lyrata from Iceland. The self-incompatibility haplotypes at the SRK gene were typed for all the plants and some of their progeny and us...

Cytoplasmic incompatibility results in embryo mortality in diploids, or all male offspring in haplodiploids, when individuals carrying different cytoplasmic factors are crossed. Cytoplasmic factors have been identified as intracellular micro-organisms. Microbe-induced cytoplasmic incompatibility is found in many insect taxa and may play a role in reproductive isolation between populations. Such...

The notion of “incompatibility” of system variables arose with quantum mechanics; it is inconceivable in classical physics. Two expressions of incompatibility from the earliest days of quantum theory are the uncertainty principle of Heisenberg (measurement of one variable causes uncontrollable disturbance in other variables) and Bohr’s “complementarity” (not all variables have simultaneous “rea...

Incompatibility in markets with network effects can either benefit or harm consumers. Incompatibility reduces consumers’ ability to “mix and match” components offered by different sellers, but can also be associated with changes in product attributes that might benefit consumers. In this paper, we estimate the effects of incompatibility in a classic hardware/software market: ATM cards and machi...

the increased risk of hemolytic reactions and erythrocyte recovery delay in abo incompatible hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (hsct) is well established. effects of abo incompatibility on transplantation outcomes is evaluated in this study. we prospectively followed 501 patients undergoing allogeneic stem cell transplantation according to abo compatibility groups of minor, major and bidi...

    Dynamic model,   regional economy,   innovation.   This paper presents a normative balance mathematical model of regional economy that contains a lot of unspecified parameters which are not defined directly by the data of economic statistics. A method for estimation of the model parameters by application of parallel computations on multi-processors systems is presented. It is determined the...
