Wounding is a severe impairment of function, especially for an exposed organism like the network-forming true slime mould Physarum polycephalum. The tubular network making up the organism’s body plan is entirely interconnected and shares a common cytoplasm. Oscillatory contractions of the enclosing tube walls drive the shuttle streaming of the cytoplasm. Cytoplasmic flows underlie the reorganiz...

In spatial data mining, a common task is the discovery of spatial association rules from spatial databases. We propose a distributed system, named ARES that takes advantage of the use of a multi-relational approach to mine spatial association rules. It supports spatial database coupling and discovery of multi-level spatial association rules as a means for spatial data exploration. We also prese...

Poverty can have spatial dimensions. While general figures might show the spatial pattern of poverty, there is a need for more detailed examination of this pattern. Relying on simple figures of spatial patterns and ranking regions based on them might be misleading. This paper tries to apply spatial analysis methodsm, namely spatial autoregressive models to find out the impacts of space on the h...

BACKGROUND The association between buprenorphine taper duration and treatment outcomes is not well understood. This review evaluated whether duration of outpatient buprenorphine taper is significantly associated with treatment outcomes. METHODS Studies that were published in peer-reviewed journals, administered buprenorphine as an outpatient taper to opioid-dependent participants, and provide...
