We study the spectral dimensions and asymptotics of Kreĭn–Feller operators for weak Gibbs measures on self-conformal fractals with or without overlaps. show that, restricted to unit interval, Lq-spectrum every measure ϱ respect a C1-IFS exists as limit. Building recent results authors, we can deduce that dimension equals fixed point its Lq-spectrum. For an IFS satisfying open set condition, it ...

Recent fMRI studies suggest that the inferior frontal sulcus (IFS) is involved in the coordination of interfering processes in dual-task situations. The present study aims to further specify this assumption by investigating whether the compatibility between stimulus and response modalities modulates dual-task-related activity along the IFS. It has been shown behaviorally that the degree of inte...

The reductionist approach has dominated the fields of biology and medicine for nearly a century. Here, we present a systems science approach to the analysis of physiological waveforms in the context of a specific case, cardiovascular physiology. Our goal in this study is to introduce a methodology that allows for novel insight into cardiovascular physiology and to show proof of concept for a ne...

Metabolic engineering for production of isoflavones in non-legume plants may provide the health benefits of these phytoestrogens from consumption of more widely used grains. In legumes, isoflavones function in both the symbiotic relationship with rhizobial bacteria and the plant defense response. Expression of a soybean isoflavone synthase (IFS) gene in Arabidopsis plants was previously shown t...

It has been shown previously that intermediate filament (IF) gels in vitro exhibit stiffening at high-applied stress, and it was suggested that this stiffening property of IFs might be important for maintaining cell integrity at large deformations (Janmey PA, Evtenever V, Traub P, and Schliwa M, J Cell Biol 113: 155-160, 1991). In this study, the contribution of IFs to cell mechanical behavior ...

The use of whole-genome sequencing in biomedical research is expected to produce dramatic advances in human health. The increasing use of this powerful, data-rich new technology in research, however, will inevitably give rise to incidental findings (IFs)-findings with individual health or reproductive significance that are beyond the aims of the particular research-and the related questions of ...

Reliability, availability and scalability are major concerns in the design of distributed file systems. We have built an island-based file system (IFS) called Archipelago to solve these problems by failure isolation and low-cost consistency maintenance. The building blocks of IFS are smaller self-contained file servers called islands. The main idea underlying island-based design is the one-isla...

We weigh the presumed benefits of routinely searching all research scans for incidental findings (IFs) against its substantial risks, including false-positive and false-negative findings, and the possibility of triggering unnecessary, costly evaluations and perhaps harmful treatments. We argue that routinely searching for IFs may not maximize benefits and minimize risks to participants.

Iterated Function Systems (IFS) raster compression techniques achieve their results by identifying self-similarities in the source image. However, not all source images contain exploitable self-similarity. We describe a compression technique that combines a Karhunen-Loeve basis set (for non self-similar aspects of an image) with a block based IFS.
