This is the first attempt of empirical investigation of language mediated concept activation (LMCA) in bilingual memory as a cognitive mechanism facilitating divergent thinking. Russian-English bilingual and Russian monolingual college students were tested on a battery of tests including among others Abbreviated Torrance Tests for Adults assessing divergent thinking traits and translingual prim...

Genes encoding thaumatin-like protein (TLPs) are frequently found in fungal genomes. However, information on TLP genes in Polyporus umbellatus is still limited. In this study, three TLP genes were cloned from P. umbellatus. The full-length coding sequence of PuTLP1, PuTLP2 and PuTLP3 were 768, 759 and 561 bp long, respectively, encoding for 256, 253 and 187 amino acids. Phylogenetic trees showe...

TLP retry mechanism is an effective measure of PCI Express to ensure data reliable transmissions. The paper theoretically analyzes reasons for retransmission, operating rules of retransmission and factors affecting the size of retry buffer. On this basis, proposes a circuit structure of implementing TLP retry mechanisms, describing the implementation process of retry management, and conducts fu...

In recent studies the truncated Levy process (TLP) has been shown to be very promising for the modeling of financial dynamics. In contrast to the Levy process, the TLP has finite moments and can account for both the previously observed excess kurtosis at short timescales, along with the slow convergence to Gaussian at longer timescales. I further test the truncated Levy paradigm using high freq...
