The symbolic paradigm of cognitive modeling, championed by Minsky and Papert, Newell and Simon, and other pioneers of the 1950’s and 1960’s, remains very much alive and well today. Yet an alternative paradigm, first championed in the 1950’s by Rosenblatt, in which cognitive processes are viewed as emergent functions of a complex stochastic dynamical system, has continued to have adherents. A co...

After a recent study, the pore water and high-resolution solid phase analyses as well as microbial investigations on the Namibian shelf indicate that sharp phosphate peaks, observed in 2-3 cm sediment depth, correspond to the depth where great sulfur bacteria are most abundant (Schulz and Schulz, 2005). Beside the well known connection between the benthic cycles of iron and phosphorus it could ...

Vol. 206 No. 13 3101-3114 www.jem.org/cgi/doi/10.1084/jem.20091925 3101 The intestinal mucosa contains large numbers of mononuclear cells, including macrophages and DCs, which together are believed to play a central role in regulating mucosal innate and adaptive immune responses in both the steadystate and inflammatory setting (Kelsall, 2008)...

Numerical and analytical details are presented on the newly discovered superscaling property of the energy spacing distribution in the three dimensional Anderson model. PACS: 71.30.+h, 72.12.Rn, 05.40.+j .

We establish the phenomenon of Anderson localisation for a quantum two-particle system on a lattice Zd with short-range interaction and in presence of an IID external potential with sufficiently regular marginal distribution.

Pink has given a qualitative answer to the Mumford-Tate conjecture for Drinfeld modules in 90s. He showed that image of v-adic Galois representation is v-adically open motivic group any prime v. In contrast this result, we provide family uniformizable Anderson t-modules which representations their t-adic Tate-modules are "far from" having t-adically groups. Nevertheless, still Zariski-dense acc...

The author carries out numerical simulations of vesicle formation based on the density functional theory for block copolymer solutions. It is shown by solving the time evolution equations for concentrations that a polymer vesicle is spontaneously formed from the homogeneous state. The vesicle formation mechanism obtained by this simulation agrees with the results of other simulations based on t...

We study the mean-field Poisson-Boltzmann equation in the context of dense ionic liquids where steric effects become important. We generalise lattice gas theory by introducing a Flory-Huggins entropy for ions of differing volumes and then compare the effective free energy density to other existing lattice gas approximations, not based on the Flory-Huggins Ansatz. Within the methodology presente...
