Although exclusive common pool resource management regimes have locally been applied since time immemorial in many coastal and fjord areas, the legal conceptualization of space, oceans their living resources were traditionally treated as a “global commons.” The idea restricting access to oceanic delegating governance state instruments has become increasingly popular middle previous century when...

objectives: the attentional control scale is a self- report questionnaire that assesses individual differences in attentional control. despite its extensive use, the psychometric properties of the persian version of the acs are not well understood. thus, the present study aimed at investigating the psychometric properties of the attentional control scale and its relationship with symptoms of an...

Allostery has been revealed as an essential property of all proteins. For enzymes, shifting of the structural equilibrium distribution at one site can have substantial impacts on protein dynamics and selectivity. Promising sites of remotely shifting such a distribution by changing the dynamics would be at flexible loops because relatively large changes may be achieved with minimal modification ...

The neural circuits that regulate sleep and arousal as well as their integration with circadian circuits remain unclear, especially in Drosophila. This issue intersects with that of photoreception, because light is both an arousal signal in diurnal animals and an entraining signal for the circadian clock. To identify neurons and circuits relevant to light-mediated arousal as well as circadian p...

The proposed method for watermark insertion in 3D polygon mesh is based on its geometrical properties. In this method selected vertices (geometrical attribute) are shifted from its original position. The changes in position of vertices w.r.t. original position is considered as watermark. The selection of vertices for shifting from their original position is dependent on the number normalization...

Implicit type shifting, or coercion, appears to indicate a modular grammatical architecture, in which the process of semantic composition may add meanings absent from the syntax in order to ensure that certain operators, e.g., the progressive, receive suitable arguments (Jackendo¤ 1997; De Swart 1998). I will argue that coercion phenomena actually provide strong support for a sign-based model o...
