A general tension-reduction (GTR) model was recently considered (Aerts & Sassoli de Bianchi, 2015a,b) to derive quantum probabilities as (universal) averages over all possible forms of non-uniform fluctuations, and explain their considerable success in describing experimental situations also outside of the domain of physics, for instance in the ambit of quantum models of cognition and decision....

Semantic formalisms such as MRS [Copestake et al., 2003], UDRT [Reyle, 1993], or CLLS [Egg et al., 2001] provide elegant solutions for the treatment of semantic ambiguities in terms of underspecification. These semantic formalisms are not constrained to specific syntactic frameworks. MRS, for example, is mainly used with HPSG grammars, but may also be built from LFG grammars using co-descriptio...

Battery aging of electrified vehicles is a key parameter to be controlled in order ensure sufficient energy efficiency and driving range across the whole vehicle lifespan. The United Nations Economic Commission for Europe has recently adopted new regulatory framework, Global Technical Regulation No. 22, prescribing minimum performance requirements in-vehicle battery durability. With implementat...

The general Markov model (GMM) of nucleotide substitution does not assume the evolutionary process to be stationary, reversible, or homogeneous. The GMM can be simplified by assuming the evolutionary process to be stationary. A stationary GMM is appropriate for analyses of phylogenetic data sets that are compositionally homogeneous; a data set is considered to be compositionally homogeneous if ...

Guided tissue regeneration (GTR) with bioabsorbable collagen membranes (CM) is commonly used for the treatment of periodontal defects. The objective of this systematic review of randomized clinical trials was to assess the clinical efficacy of GTR procedures with CM, with or without bone substitutes, in periodontal infrabony defects compared with that of open flap debridement (OFD) alone. Prima...

We present a very general geometrico-dynamical description of physical or more abstract entities, called the general tension-reduction (GTR) model, where not only states, but also measurement-interactions can be represented, and the associated outcome probabilities calculated. Underlying the model is the hypothesis that indeterminism manifests as a consequence of unavoidable fluctuations in the...

Introduction: We wished to compare the survival benefit associated with gross total resection (GTR) in World Health Organization (WHO) grade II astrocytomas (A2) to those of grade III (A3) and grade IV (glioblastoma) astrocytomas. Methods: Using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program (1999-2010) database, we identified 4,113 A2 patients. Surgical resection was defined as...

Heme and chlorophyll accumulate to high levels in legume root nodules and in photosynthetic tissues, respectively, and they are both derived from the universal tetrapyrrole precursor delta-aminolevulinic acid (ALA). The first committed step in ALA and tetrapyrrole synthesis is catalyzed by glutamyl-tRNA reductase (GTR) in plants. A soybean (Glycine max) root-nodule cDNA encoding GTR was isolate...
