We examined the organization and function of the ventral object processing pathway. The prevailing theoretical approach in this field holds that the ventral object processing stream has a modular organization, in which visual perception is carried out in posterior regions and visual memory is carried out, independently, in the anterior temporal lobe. In contrast, recent work has argued against ...

We use large-scale Monte-Carlo simulations to study thermal fluctuations in chiral $p$-wave superconductors an applied magnetic field three dimensions. consider the stability of previously predicted unusual double-quanta flux-line lattice ground states such superconductors. In previous works it was shown that, neglecting fluctuations, a superconductor forms hexagonal doubly-quantized vortices, ...

The OH-stretch overtone spectroscopy and dynamics of the hydroxymethyl radical, CH(2)OH, are reported in the region of the second and third overtones, which is above the thermochemical threshold to dissociation to H+CH(2)O (D(0)=9600 cm(-1)). The second overtone spectrum at 10 484 cm(-1) is obtained by double resonance IR-UV resonance enhanced multiphoton ionization (REMPI) spectroscopy via the...

The isolation and cloning of the cDNA coding for myoglobin (Mb) from the mollusc Aplysia limacina is reported here. Five amino acid differences from the previously published protein sequence have been found in positions 22, 26, 27, 77 and 80 by back transplanting the cDNA; some of these may be relevant for overall structure stabilization in this Mb. High-level expression of the holoprotein in E...

Multi-reference configuration interaction with single and double excitation method has been utilized to calculate the potential energy surfaces of the five low-lying electronic states (1)A1, (1)A2, (3)A2, (1)B2, and (3)B2 of carbon dioxide molecule. Topology of intersections among these five states has been fully analyzed and is associated with double-well potential energy structure for every e...

It is widely believed that declarative memory is mediated by a medial temporal lobe memory system consisting of several distinct structures, including the hippocampus and perirhinal cortex. The strong version of this view assumes a high degree of functional homogeneity and serial organization within the medial temporal lobe, such that double dissociations between individual structures should no...

While the main features of elastic, diffractive and total cross sections are described well by Regge theory, the measured rise of the proton-(anti)proton single diffraction dissociation cross section with energy is considerably smaller than the theoretical prediction based on factorization and a constant triplepomeron coupling. The observed energy dependence is obtained by renormalizing the pom...
