It is well known that in many scalar models for the spread of a fitter phenotype or species into the territory of a less fit one, the asymptotic spreading speed can be characterized as the lowest speed of a suitable family of traveling waves of the model. Despite a general belief that multi-species (vector) models have the same property, we are unaware of any proof to support this belief. The p...

The paper presents a general framework for concurrent navigation and exploration of unknown environments based on discrete potential fields that guide the robot motion. These potentials are obtained from a class of partial differential equation (PDE) problems called boundary value problems (BVP). The boundaries are generated from sensor readings and therefore they change as the robot moves. Thi...

PURPOSE This study evaluates the extent to which bilingual children produce the same or overlapping responses on tasks assessing semantic skills in each of their languages and whether classification analysis based on monolingual or conceptual scoring can accurately classify the semantic development of typically developing (TD) bilingual children. METHOD In Study 1, 55 TD children (ages 4;0 [y...

Grapevine degeneration in grapevines caused by Grapevine fanleaf virus (GFLV) has been documented in many viticultural regions worldwide (Andret-Link et al. 2004). It is one of the major economically important virus diseases affecting the longevity of grapevines and reducing the fruit yield and fruit quality. Infected grapevines show a range of foliar symptoms consisting of leaf deformation, ye...

Interferon-alpha (IFN-a) and interleukin-2 (IL-2) are cytokines with a variety of immune effects that suggest they might be useful anticancer agents. Indeed, antitumor responses to IFN-a or IL-2 have been documented in various types of experimental and human malignancies, especially renal-cell carcinoma and malignant melanoma. Published clinical trials of IFN-alpha and IL-2 in these cancers hav...
