in this work, we analyse a pair of two-dimensional coupled reaction-diusion equations known as the gray-scott model, in which spot patterns have been observed. we focus on stationary patterns, and begin by deriving the asymptotic scaling of the parameters and variables necessary for the analysis of these patterns. a complete bifurcation study of these solutions is presented. the main mathematic...

This paper deals with the implications of the socialness of private communication. Drawing upon ethnographic observations of first time mobile phone users in Rah, an island in Vanuatu, we revisit the debate on how the mobile phone reconfigures private and personal communication. Our observations show how the advent of the mobile phone disrupts and challenges existing practices around how privat...

Estrogen has a widespread and complex influence on brain capabilities such as learning and memory. On the other hand, hippocampus as one of the main brain structures has an important role in spatial information processing. There is some evidence on the existence of estrogen receptors in the hippocampal CA1 area. So, in this study the effect of intrahippocampal injection of estradiol benzoate on...

Interactive visual analytic systems enable users to discover insights from complex data. Users can express and test hypotheses via user interaction, leveraging their domain expertise and prior knowledge to guide and steer the analytic models in the system. For example, semantic interaction techniques enable systems to learn from the user’s interactions and steer the underlying analytic models b...
