The role of the Southern Ocean in global climate is examined using three simulations with a coupled model employing geometries different only at the location of Drake Passage (DP). The results of three main experiments are examined: 1) a simulation with DP closed, 2) an experiment with DP at a shallow (690 m) depth, and 3) a realistic DP experiment. The climate with DP closed is characterized b...

BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to investigate whether a distal protection (DP) device can preserve the index of microcirculatory resistance (IMR) after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with anterior ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). METHODS AND RESULTS The study group of 36 consecutive patients with anterior STEMI were randomized into ...

BACKGROUND Little is known about the factors influencing the future situation of individuals on sickness absence (SA) or disability pension (DP). The aim was to investigate whether being sickness absent is associated with future DP and premature death, and whether such associations can be explained by familial factors. METHODS A sample of 45 734 Swedish twins was followed for 13 years. Cox pr...

We study spatiotemporal intermittency (STI) in a system of coupled sine circle maps. The phase diagram of the system shows parameter regimes where the STI lies in the directed percolation (DP) class, as well as regimes which show pure spatial intermittency (where the temporal behavior is regular) which do not belong to the DP class. Thus both DP and non-DP behavior can be seen in the same syste...

Non-synostotic deformational plagiocephaly (DP) is head asymmetry that results from external forces that mold the skull in the first year of life. Primary care providers are most likely to encounter DP when infants present for well-child care, and for this reason it is important that providers be competent in assessing, diagnosing, and participating in the prevention and management of DP. The p...

Location. The internship will take place at the " Institut de Mathématiques de Jussieu-Paris Rive Gauche " in Jussieu. Scientific context and objectives. A DP-ribbon is a topological cylinder (a sphere with two boundaries) with a distinguished core circle with a distinguished side and an arrangement of DP-ribbons is a finite family of at least two DP-ribbons pairwise attached as shown in Fig. 1...

We found a population of nonlymphoid cells expressing both CD4 and CD8 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of human T-cell leukemia virus type-I pX transgenic rats with autoimmune diseases. These cells, which showed a monocytic phenotype, were also found in wild-type rats, and their number increased by adjuvant-assisted immunization. GM-CSF increased the number of these double-positiv...

4. If b ∈ acl(aS), then dp-rk(b/S) ≤ dp-rk(a/S). 5. dp-rk(ab/S) ≤ dp-rk(a/bS) + dp-rk(b/S). We work in a monster model C of a dp-minimal field (i.e., a field of dp-rank 1). “Models” will refer to small elementary substructures M C. We’ll write concatenation multiplicatively and multiplication using ·. We will assume that C is not strongly minimal. One already knows what strongly minimal fields ...

Stochastic sandpiles self-organize to an absorbing-state critical point with scaling behavior different from directed percolation (DP) and characterized by the presence of an additional conservation law. This is usually called the C-DP or Manna universality class. There remains, however, an exception to this universality principle: a sandpile automaton introduced by Maslov and Zhang, which was ...
