The "psychic tonus" model or PTM [1] of hemispheric specialization states that the left hemisphere is a psychic and behavioral activator and that the right hemisphere is an inhibitor. The PTM predicts that the tonus of visual representation ought to manifest hemispheric specialization in the occipital lobes. Specifically PTM predicts that pathological positive visual tonus (visual hallucination...

Polynomial Texture Mapping (PTM) uses a simple polynomial regression to interpolate, and hence relight, image sets taken from a fixed camera but with multiple, changing lights with each light illuminating the scene in turn from different directions [1]. PTM is basically an extension of the simple Lambertian model of Photometric Stereo (PST), but replacing a linear term in the lighting direction...

In isolated airway smooth muscle (ASM) strips, an increase or decrease in ASM length away from its current optimum length causes an immediate reduction in force production followed by a gradual time-dependent recovery in force, a phenomenon termed length adaptation. In situ, length adaptation may be initiated by a change in transmural pressure (Ptm), which is a primary physiological determinant...

Autoreactive T cells specific for islet autoantigens develop in type 1 diabetes (T1D) by escaping central as well as peripheral tolerance. The current paradigm for development of islet autoimmunity is just beginning to include the contribution of posttranslationally modified (PTM) islet autoantigens, for which the immune system may be ignorant rather than tolerant. As a result, PTM is the lates...

This paper presents Persistent Turing Machines (PTMs), a new way of interpreting Turing-machine computation, based on dynamic stream semantics. A PTM is a Turing machine that performs an in nite sequence of \normal" Turing machine computations, where each such computation starts when the PTM reads an input from its input tape and ends when the PTM produces an output on its output tape. The PTM ...

From 1998 to 2001, the relationship between the proportion of tillers with >0 mummified aphids (Ptm) and the proportion of cereal aphids parasitized (Pp) was estimated on 57 occasions in fields of hard red winter wheat located in central and western Oklahoma. Both original (57 fields) and validation data (34 fields; 2001-2002) revealed weak relationships between Ptm and Pp, however, when Ptm > ...

LMA-PTM. It is not a single-use LMA-PTM because substantial details are designed and constructed in a different way to overcome weaknesses of other LMAsTM, as the producers of the LMA-STM promote their device. The LMA-STM’s clinical performance can only be evaluated in clinical trials. First published comparisons with a reasonable sample size between the LMA-PTM and LMA-STM showed clinically im...

➥ lation are familiar and the ‘swing’ of the pressure trace during inspiration and expiration is easily seen on a standard monitor display. These changes are largely the consequence of alterations in intrathoracic pressure (PIT). It is important to recognise that PIT greatly influences the transmural pressure (PTM), which is the actual effective distending pressure of the cardiac chamber, and r...

This paper investigates point-to-multipoint (PTM) transmission supporting adaptive modulation and coding (AMC) as well as retransmissions based on incremental redundancy. In contrast to the classical PTM transmission which was introduced by the Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service (MBMS), the adaptiveness requires user individual feedback channels that allow the receivers to report their radi...
