We provide conditions on a monoidal model categoryM so that the category of commutative monoids in M inherits a model structure from M in which a map is a weak equivalence or fibration if and only if it is so inM. We then investigate properties of cofibrations of commutative monoids, rectification between E∞-algebras and commutative monoids, the relationship between commutative monoids and mono...

It is known that rectification of currents through the inward rectifier K(+) channel (Kir) is mainly due to blockade of the outward current by cytoplasmic Mg(2+) and polyamines. Analyses of the crystal structure of the cytoplasmic region of Kir2.1 have revealed the presence of both negatively (E224, D255, D259, and E299) and positively (R228 and R260) charged residues on the wall of the cytopla...

The potential role that rectification of ENSO plays as a viable mechanism to generate climate anomalies on the decadal and longer time scales demands a thorough study of this process. In this paper, rectification of ENSOwas studied using an ocean GCM that has a realistic seasonal cycle. In addition to conducting a pair of forced ocean GCM experiments with and without ENSO fluctuations, as done ...

End-stopped perceptive fields associated with line targets were demonstrated previously with length and width Westheimer functions. In this study we investigated rectifying non-linearity in these perceptive fields to examine whether they directly reflect the organization of cortical receptive fields. Specifically, we reversed the polarity of parts of the background field associated with a speci...

AMPA receptors (AMPARs) mediate the bulk of fast synaptic excitation in the CNS. We have recently shown that AMPAR-dependent synaptic transmission in immature neocortical pyramidal neurons is mediated by GluR2-deficient receptors that can be modulated by intra- or extracellular polyamines (PAs). Phosphorylation of AMPARs, e.g. by PKC, can lead to enhanced excitation, and PAs are known to modula...

We present a novel algorithm performing projective rectification which does not require explicit computation of the epipolar geometry, and specifically of the fundamental matrix. Instead of finding the epipoles and computing two homographies mapping the epipoles to infinity, as done in recent work on projective rectification, we exploit the fact that the fundamental matrix of a pair of rectifie...

When low output voltage and EN61000-3-2 compliance are put together, not too many options can be used, especially if the power range is between 300–600 W. This paper presents one of the best solutions to comply with both specifications at the same time: the use of a single-stage topology to comply with the low-frequency harmonic limits combined with a half-bridge converter with complementary co...
