Bow and set size effects on response times in absolute identification mirror the effects on accuracy: Central stimuli and stimuli in large sets are responded to more slowly and less accurately. In an analysis of the response time data from Experiment 1 of N. Stewart, G. D. A. Brown and N. Chater (2005), involving the absolute identification of tone frequency (pitch), we find that in contrast to...

Trace distance (between two quantum states) can be viewed as quantum generalization of statistical difference (between two probability distributions). On input a pair of quantum states (represented by quantum circuits), how to construct another pair, such that their trace distance is large (resp. small) if the original trace distance is small (resp. large)? That is, how to reverse trace distanc...

The infectious intracellular lifestyle of Salmonella enterica relies on the adaptation to nutritional conditions within the Salmonella-containing vacuole (SCV) in host cells. We summarize latest results on metabolic requirements for Salmonella during infection. This includes intracellular phenotypes of mutant strains based on metabolic modeling and experimental tests, isotopolog profiling using...

We have conducted radioastronomical observations of 9 dark clouds with the IRAM 30m telescope. We present the first identification in space of the ketenyl radical (HCCO) toward the starless core Lupus-1A and the molecular cloud L483, and the detection of the related molecules ketene (H2CCO) and acetaldehyde (CH3CHO) in these two sources and 3 additional dark clouds. We also report the detection...

We present an analysis of thermal emission from comet 162P/Siding Spring (P/2004 TU12) measured during its discovery apparition in December 2004. The comet showed no dust coma at this time, so we have sampled emission from the comet’s nucleus. Observations using the “Mid-Infrared Spectrometer and Imager” (“MIRSI”) were performed at NASA’s Infrared Telescope Facility, where the peak of the comet...
