The concept of occupationalther­ apy as a "science of adaptive responses," as proposed by King in her 7978 Eleanor Clarke Slagle Lecture, is explored and expanded on in this article. The authors pos­ tulate an adaptation continuum consIsting of homeostatzc reac­ tions, adaptive responses, adaptIVe skills, and adaptive patterns-a continuum that places the adap­ tive response in a sequential and ...

In a repeated-interaction public goods economy, dynamic behavior may affect the efficiency of various mechanisms thought to be efficient in one-shot games. Inspired by results obtained in previous experiments, the current paper proposes a simple best response model in which players’ beliefs are functions of previous strategy profiles. The predictions of the model are found to be highly consiste...

We present an algorithm that computes the structure of a finite abelian group G from a generating system M . The algorithm executes O(|M | √ |G|) group operations and stores O( √ |G|) group elements.

BellQMA(k) is the subclass of QMA(k) in which the verifier is restricted to perform unentangling measurements on the proofs received from each Merlin. BellQMAO(log m)(Õ( √ m)) is the class of promise problems having BellQMA proofs with Õ( √ m) provers, each sending an O(logm)-qubit message, and with a constant completeness-soundness gap. In this paper, we prove that a 3SAT instance with m claus...

BACKGROUND In many regions of the world, wild mammals act as reservoir of Mycobacterium bovis, a situation that prevents the eradication of bovine tuberculosis. In order to observe whether a strain isolated from a wild boar, previously tested as highly virulent in a mice model, is also virulent in cattle, we performed cattle experimental inoculation with this strain RESULTS Groups of Friesian...

We have conducted a deep (15P rP23), 20 night survey for transiting planets in the intermediate-age ( 550Myr) open cluster M37 (NGC 2099) using the Megacam wide-field mosaic CCD camera on the 6.5 mMMT. In this paper we present a catalog and light curves for 1445 variable stars; 1430 (99%) of these are new discoveries. We have discovered 20 new eclipsing binaries and 31 new short-period (P < 1 d...
