Rather, Japanese were more likely than Canadians to wish for money or material goods, and less likely than Canadians to wish for be...

The Drosophila single-minded gene controls CNS midline cell development by both activating midline gene expression and repressing lateral CNS gene expression in the midline cells. The mechanism by which Single-minded represses transcription was examined using the ventral nervous system defective gene as a target gene. Transgenic-lacZ analysis of constructs containing fragments of the ventral ne...

Well, someone can decide by themselves what they want to do and need to do but sometimes, that kind of person will need some birthing a mother the surrogate body and the pregnant self references. People with open minded will always try to seek for the new things and information from many sources.

One of the most promising applications in VANETs is vehicle chatting, which allows like-minded vehicles to chat on the topics of common interest on the road. But, some privacy challenging issues emerged recently in vehicle chatting application. The probable issues are how to find a like-minded vehicle on the road and how to prevent one’s interest privacy (IP) from others who are not like-minded...

The continuous opinion dynamics with group-based heterogeneous bounded confidences is considered in this paper. Firstly, a slightly modified Hegselmann-Krause model is proposed, and the agents are divided into open-minded-, moderate-minded-, and close-mindedsubgroups according to the corresponding confidence intervals. Then numerical simulations are carried out to analyze the influence of the c...

Children today must learn to use more varieties of symbolic media than ever before, so it is even more important to understand the processes involved in symbolic development. Recent research has greatly exp...
