This is a geometric approach to spatial involute gearing which has recently been developed by Jack Phillips (2003). After recalling Phillips' fundamental theorems and other properties, some geometric questions around this interesting type of gearing are discussed.

After recalling proofs of the Bell inequality based on the assumptions of separability and of noncontextuality, the most general noncontextual contrapositive conditional probabilities consistent with the Aspect experiment are constructed. In general these probabilities are not all positive.

We consider the p–Laplacian operator on a domain equipped with a Finsler metric. After deriving and recalling relevant properties of its first eigenfunction for p > 1, we investigate the limit problem as p → 1.

Some open problems and research topics related to numerical P systems are formulated – also recalling the problems from the corresponding section of the " mega-paper " [2] produced for the previous BWMC.

Whether recall of studied words (e.g., parsley, rosemary, thyme) could reduce false recognition of related lures (e.g., basil) was investigated. Subjects studied words from several categories for a final recognition memory test. Half of the subjects were given standard test instructions, and half were instructed to use recall to reduce false recognition. Manipulation checks indicated that the l...

Recent studies have shown systematic choice-supportive memory for past choices, wherein people tend to overattribute positive features to options they chose and negative features to unchosen options (Mather & Johnson, 2000, Mather, Shafir, & Johnson, 2000). In contrast, the present experiments showed no choice-supportive memory bias for assigned options. Rather than having a general motivation ...

Food-storing birds demonstrate remarkable memory ability in recalling the locations of thousands of hidden food caches. Although this behaviour requires the hippocampus, its synaptic mechanisms are not understood. Here we show the effects of cannabinoid receptor (CB1-R) blockade on spatial memory in food-storing black-capped chickadees (Poecile atricapilla). Intra-hippocampal infusions of the C...
