The class of molecules called short RNAs (sRNAs) are known to play a key role in gene regulation. Th are typically sequences of nucleotides between 21-25 nucleotides in length. They are known to play a key role in gene regulation. The identification, clustering and classification of sRNA has recently become the focus of much research activity. The basic problem involves detecting regions of int...

Researchers and practitioners have an abiding interest in improving tools and methods to support idea generation. In studies that go beyond merely enumerating ideas, researchers typically select one or more of the following three constructs, which are often operationalized as the dependent variable(s): 1) idea quality, 2) idea novelty, which is sometimes referred to as rarity or unusualness, an...

Особый интерес М. Волошина к цветонаименованиям вызван как особенностью эпохи (Серебряный век), так и его увлечением не только поэтическим словом, но в равной степени изобразительным творчеством. Цветовая картина мира стихотворений отличается многообразием колорем, передающих оттенки того или иного цвета, необычностью создаваемых цветообразов, которых обнаруживаются особенности восприятия автор...

Sirs, Non-traumatic anteroposterior atlanto-axial subluxation (AAS) has already been described in different rheumatic settings such as rheumatoid arthritis (1) and ankylosing spondylitis (2). Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is the most common inflammatory rheumatic disease in childhood and rarely involves the cervical spine at onset especially in children with polyarticular course (3). In t...

This paper studies unusual phenomena by discovering anomalous windows in multivariate spatial data. Such an anomalous window is a group of contiguous spatial objects indicating the occurrence of unusual phenomenon in terms of multiple variables. The paper presents a novel Robust non-parametric Multivariate Scan Statistic (RMSS). In contrast to the existing work, the authors’ approach is designe...

Children engage in pretend play from around 18 months of age, rarely confusing their “pretend” world with the “real” world. It has been recently suggested that various social cues and behavioural regularities presented by parents during their own pretend play enhance the ability of children to quarantine pretend acts from real acts. However, a question that has received little empirical investi...

It is a commonplace among contemporary information systems professionals that the concepts of data and information are obviously distinct and clearly understood. Through a review of the historical literature, this paper shows that, in fact, the distinction is not obvious, that it is an outgrowth of work in the information systems area, and that the distinction is not clearly understood. The pap...

Positive emotions are often treated as relatively similar in their cognitive-behavioral effects, and as having unambiguously beneficial consequences. For example, Valdesolo and DeSteno (2006) reported that a humorous video made people more prone to choose a utilitarian solution to a moral dilemma. They attributed this finding to increased positive affect. To determine whether such results actua...

Experiences of art involve exercise of ordinary cognitive and perceptual capacities but in unique ways. These two features of experiences of art imply the mutual importance of aesthetics and cognitive science. Cognitive science provides empirical and theoretical analysis of the relevant cognitive capacities. Aesthetics thus does well to incorporate cognitive scientific research. Aesthetics also...
