Experiments using chimeric stimuli have shown that the right hemisphere is more influential in processing facial information. Here, again, we found clear evidence that study participants used the information from the left side of the face to inform their gender decisions when chimeric male/female, female/male stimuli were presented. Most interestingly though, this effect was not only present fo...

This paper presents travel time geoacoustic inversion of broadband data collected on a vertical line array at short range of 230 m during the Shallow Water 2006 experiments. A ray-tracing method combined with a hybrid optimization algorithm that utilizes differential evolution and downhill simplex was used for the inversion of sediment properties. The ocean sound speed profile and geometric par...

complementary with respect to n of the given combination. Suppose now we form the nm combinations of any n numbers m at a time and consider the set of combinations formed by combining each of these nm combinations with their complementaries in such a way that the numbers in any combination arranged in their natural order are immediately followed by the numbers in the complementary combination a...

Abstract. In the evolution of a genome, the gene sequence is sometimes rearranged, for example by transposition of two adjacent gene blocks. In biocombinatorics, one tries to reconstruct these rearrangement incidents from the resulting permutation. It seems that the algorithms used are too effective and find a shorter path than the real one. For the simplified case of adjacent transpositions, w...

The study of this phenomenon has a long history in generative grammar, where it has generally been taken to be a quintessentially syntactic phenomenon (see, for example, Kayne and Pollock (2001), Pesetsky and Torrego (2001), Rizzi (1996), and Zubizarreta (2001) for some recent analyses). Here I will argue that in at least some types of Romance inversion, the explanation for why inversion occurs...

Recognition of both faces and Chinese characters is commonly believed to rely on configural information. While faces typically exhibit behavioral and N170 inversion effects that differ from non-face stimuli (Rossion, Joyce, Cottrell, & Tarr, 2003), the current study examined whether a similar reliance on configural processing may result in similar inversion effects for faces and Chinese charact...

Counterion-induced inversion of the DNA charge was characterized through extensive molecular dynamics simulations. We observed reversal of the DNA motion in an external electric field upon increasing the concentration of trivalent or quadrivalent counterions. In the case of a divalent electrolyte, inversion of the DNA's electric charge was observed at high concentrations of the electrolyte but ...

Brain T1 mapping has important clinical applications in detecting brain disorders. Conventional T1 mapping techniques are usually based on inversion recovery spin echo (IRSE) imaging or its more time-efficient counterpart inversion recovery fast spin echo (IRFSE) imaging because they can deliver good image quality. Multiple inversion times are required to accurately estimate T1 over a wide rang...

A number of genetic methods for the isolation, characterization and manipulation of large chromosomal inversions in Salmonella typhimurium are described. One inversion-carrying mutant is characterized in detail and used to demonstrate a number of unique genetic properties of bacterial inversions. --Contrary to expectation, it was found that large inversion mutations can be repaired by generaliz...

The application of the Mobius inversion formula to the specific-heat-phonon spectrum inversion problem (SPI) initially appeared promising [N.X. Chen, Phys. Rev. Lett. 64, 1193 (1990); J. Maddox, Nature (London) 344, 377 (1990)]. However, no one has previously been able to obtain the exact Debye spectrum with the correct cut-off factor and frequency dependence from the Mobius formula. The main d...
