We discuss the relation between singletons in AdS 3 and logarithmic operators in the CFT on the boundary. In 2 dimensions there can be more logarithmic operators apart from those which correspond to singletons in AdS, because logarithmic operators can occur when the dimensions of primary fields differ by an integer instead of being equal. These operators may be needed to account for the greybod...

Irrelevant salient distractors often capture attention, but given a sufficiently specific search template, these salient items no longer capture attention. In the present experiments, we investigated whether specific target templates are sufficient to resist capture, or whether experience with the salient distractors is also necessary. To test this hypothesis, observers completed four blocks of...

We used placental tissue to compare the imprinted gene expression of IGF2, H19, KCNQ1OT1, and CDKN1C of singletons conceived via assisted reproduction technology (ART) with that of spontaneously conceived (SC) singletons. Of 989 singletons examined (ART n = 65; SC n = 924), neonatal weight was significantly lower (P < .001) in the ART group than in the SC group, but placental weight showed no s...

Multinomial subjective opinions are a special type of belief functions, where belief mass can be assigned to singletons of the frame as well as to the whole frame, but not to overlapping subsets of the frame. The multiplicative product of two multinomial opinions applies to the Cartesian product of the two corresponding frames. The challenge when multiplying multinomial opinions is that the raw...

Background The outcomes of such pregnancies have been rarely evaluated in our country. A descriptive study was planned to assess the health and condition of neonates conceived with assisted techniques in a one year period. MaterialsAndMethods At Royan Institute, Tehran, 443 women who became pregnant by one of the assisted techniques in vitro fertilization (IVF), intrauterine insemination (IUI) ...

This article examines the oral and glottal adjustments, as well as their coordination, during the production of singleton and geminate voiceless stops in Berber using fiberscopy, photoglottography and acoustic analyses. Acoustically, closure duration of geminates is longer than singletons. VOT, on the other hand, does not contribute to the distinction of length. At the glottal level, voiceless ...

Recently duplicated genes are believed to often overlap in function and expression. A priori, they are thus less likely to be essential. Although this was indeed observed in yeast, mouse singletons and duplicates were reported to be equally often essential. This contradiction can only partly be explained by experimental biases. We herein show that older genes (i.e., genes with earlier phyletic ...
