1754 INSIGHTS | The Journal of Experimental Medicine The establishment of complex behaviors, memory, and language has long fascinated humanity. It is, after all, what makes us human. Understanding this complexity presents one of the most significant challenges in biomedical research. Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are a group of neurodevelopmental disorders often characterized by repetitive a...

Most recent work on reasoning with cases in law has taken the style of reasoning used in the CATO system as its model, and uses the notion of factors, as found in that system. Fundamental to CATO, a successor the HYPO system, were factors, which are closely related to HYPO-style dimensions. In this paper, we will argue that the simplification involved in using factors, while it has proved pragm...

Despite the tremendous development in CNC programming facilities, linear and circular cuts parallel to the coordinate planes continue to be the standard motions of modern CNC machines. However, the increasing industrial demand for parts with intricate shapes cannot be satisfied with only these standard motions. The proportion of parts which are not covered by the standard CNC motions is certain...

This paper studies asymmetric price responses of individual firms, via daily retail prices of almost all gasoline stations in the Netherlands and suggested prices of the five largest oil companies over more than two years. I find that 38% of the stations respond asymmetrically to changes in the spot market price. Hence, asymmetric pricing is not a feature of the market as a whole, but of indivi...

Propositional argumentation systems are based on assumption based reasoning and used for computing arguments which support a given hypotheses Assumption based reasoning is closely related to hypothetical default theories or inference through theory formation The latter approach known as the Theorist frame work has well known relations to abduction and default reasoning In this paper proposition...

Accounting for the fine details of the patterning of co-articulated gestures in time is an important outstanding challenge. We report articulatory data capturing the relative timing of consonantal and final vowel gestures in VCV sequences. The elicitation procedure used ensures that the speech studied exhibits substantial variation in both speaking rate and in the degree of hypo/hyper-articulat...

The study was carried out to ascertain benthic macro-invertebrates checklist in the Cross River, Nigeria and using it for bio-indication of the river quality. A total of 186 benthos specimens were collected. The phylum Insecta was most abundant (96) representing 51.61% of total benthos abundance; followed by Oligochaeta 60 (32.25%), Nemertea 10 (5.37%), Hirudiae 8 (4.3%), Cladocera 6 (3.22%), A...

Assume that n and k are positive integers with n ≥ 2k + 1. A non-hamiltonian graph G is hypo hamiltonian if G − v is hamiltonian for any v ∈ V (G). It is proved that the generalized Petersen graph P (n, k) is hypo hamiltonian if and only if k = 2 and n ≡ 5 (mod 6). Similarly, a hamiltonian graph G is hyper hamiltonian if G−v is hamiltonian for any v ∈ V (G). In this paper, we will give some nec...
