The Spatial Semantic Hierarchy is a model of knowledge of large-scale space consisting of multiple interacting representations, both qualitative and quantitative. The SSH is inspired by the properties of the human cognitive map, and is intended to serve both as a model of the human cognitive map and as a method for robot exploration and map-building. The multiple levels of the SSH express state...

A recent NIH epidemiology study found the lifetime prevalence of alcohol use disorder in the United States to be 29%. Alcohol drinking behavior is strongly "learned" via pleasure center activation/reinforcement. Alcohol craving is a powerful desire to drink alcoholic beverages. Craving was added as one of the defining criteria for alcohol use disorder in DSM5, and craving reduction is becoming ...

BACKGROUND Health systems delivery systems can be divided into two broad categories: National Health Services (NHS) on the one hand and Social Security (based) Health care systems (SSH) on the other hand. Existing literature is inconclusive about which system performs best. In this paper we would like to improve the evidence-base for discussion about pros and cons of NHS-systems versus SSH-syst...

We observe a localized cnoidal (LCn) state in an electric circuit network. Its formation derives from the interplay of non-linearity and topology inherent to Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) chain inductors. Varicap diodes act as voltage-dependent capacitors, create non-linear on-site potential. For sinusoidal voltage excitation around midgap frequency, we show that response SSH follows Korteweg-de V...

Based on historical temperature and salinity (T–S) profiles, the correlation between sea surface (SST) anomaly, dynamic height (SSH) profile anomaly is constructed by regression analysis. A three-dimensional field reconstructed in northern South China Sea satellite SST SSH, with daily temporal 0.25°×0.25° spatial resolutions. The also based temperature. Compared observational T–S reflects chara...

We present a density matrix renormalization group study of the doped one-dimensional (1D) Hubbard-Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (Hubbard-SSH) model, where atomic displacements linearly modulate nearest-neighbor hopping integrals. Focusing on an optical variant model in strongly correlated limit relevant for cuprate spin chains, we examine how SSH interaction modifies model's ground- and excited-state pr...

High salinity is one of the most serious threats to crop production. To understand the molecular basis of plant responses to salt stress better, suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) and microarray approaches were combined to identify the potential important or novel genes involved in the early stage of tomato responses to severe salt stress. First, SSH libraries were constructed for the ...

[I] The slopes of the wavenumber spectra of sea surface height (SSH) and kinetic energy (KE) have been used to infer "interior" or surface quasi-geostrophic (QG or SQG) dynamics of the ocean. However, inspection of spectral slopes for altimeter SSH in the mesoscale band of 70 to 250 km shows much flatter slopes than the QG or SQG predictions over most of the ocean. Comparison of altimeter waven...
