In 1938, A. V. Hill demonstrated that the inverse relationship between the force generated and the velocity of shortening constitutes one of the most fundamental mechanical properties of skeletal muscle (1). More recently it has been shown that a similar reciprocal relationship between force and velocity also exists in the isolated cat papillary muscle (2-5). Moreover, at any given muscle lengt...

BACKGROUND The goal of the study was to examine mismatch negativity (MMN) in schizotypal personality disorder (SPD) individuals. Abnormal MMN has been a consistent finding in chronic schizophrenia and there also have been reports of reduced duration MMN in first episode schizophrenia patients [Umbricht, D., Krljes, S., Mismatch negativity in schizophrenia: a meta-analysis. Schizophrenia Researc...

Favaron et al. (1991) have obtained a proof of a conjecture of Fajtlowicz’ computer program Graffiti that for every graph G the number of zeroes left after fully reducing the degree sequence as in the Havel-Hakimi Theorem is at most the independence number of G. In this paper we present a simplified version of the proof of Graffiti’s conjecture, and we find how the residue relates to a natural ...

Dehydration embrittlement of serpentine was investigated by employing triaxial deformation experiments at high pressure and temperature (P = 1–6 GPa; T = 550–820oC). A modified Griggs apparatus was used up to 3.4 GPa and a Walker-type multi-anvil apparatus was used at 3.5–6 GPa). The investigated specimen is a serpentinized peridotite from Val Malenco, Italy. Dehydration of the sample under dif...

Congress has not commanded that the less qualified be preferred over the better qualified simply because of minority origins. Far from disparaging job qualifications as such, Congress has made such qualifications the controlling factor, so that race, religion, nationality, and sex become irrelevant.'

In 1994–1995, DIMACS sponsored a theme year on computational biology. Among the numerous seminars and workshops was one organized by Alberto Apostolico and Raffaele Giancarlo, recapitulated in their 1998 paper, on the history and motivations for sequence comparison. In my participation in this event, I was led to consider some of the early interactions, at the Centre de recherches mathématiques...

reasoning lies through the career of similarity. There is evidence for effects of specific content in deductive reasoning . A large number of studies based on Wason's (1968) classic selection task have shown that while normal subjects typically fail in the application of conditional inference rules to abstract and unfamiliar material (in particular, they fail to apply Modus Tollens), their perf...
