Considerable work has used language-switching tasks to investigate how bilinguals manage competition between languages. Language-switching costs have been argued to reflect persisting inhibition or persisting activation of a non-target language. However, these costs might instead reflect the use of bivalent stimuli (i.e. pictures or digits that can be responded to in either language). That is, ...

During male but not female mammalian meiosis, there is efficient apoptotic elimination of cells with unpaired (univalent) chromosomes at the first meiotic metaphase (MI) [1]. Apoptotic elimination of MI spermatocytes is seen in response to the univalent X chromosome of XSxr(a)O male mice [2], in which the X chromosome carries Sxr(a) [3, 4], the Y-chromosome-derived sex-reversal factor that incl...

In this work, the subclass of the function class S of analytic and bi-univalent functions is defined and studied in the open unit disc. Estimates for initial coefficients of Taylor- Maclaurin series of bi-univalent functions belonging these class are obtained. By choosing the special values for parameters and functions it is shown that the class reduces to several earlier known classes of analy...

Let A denote the class of analytic functions f z defined in the unit disc E {z : |z| < 1} and satisfying the conditions f 0 0, f ′ 0 1. Let S denote the subclass of A consisting of univalent functions in E, and let S∗ and C be the subclasses of Swhich contains, respectively, star-like and convex in Bazilevič 1 introduced the class B α, β, h, g as follows. Let f ∈ A. Then, f ∈ B α, β, h, g , α, ...

background: the secondary genetic changes other than the promyelocytic leukemia-retinoic acid receptor (pml-rara) fusion gene may contribute to the acute promyelocytic leukemogenesis. chromosomal alterations and mutation of flt3 (fms-like tyrosine kinase 3) tyrosine kinase receptor are the frequent genetic alterations in acute myeloid leukemia. however, the prognostic significance of flt3 mutat...

Functional brain imaging techniques, which permit noninvasive measures of neurophysiology and neuroreceptor binding, are powerful and sensitive tools for research aimed at elucidating the pathophysiology of major depression. The application of these technologies in depression research has produced several studies of resting cerebral blood flow (BF) and glucose metabolism in subjects imaged duri...
