We investigate the relation between two quantitative measures characterizing short term memory in input driven dynamical systems, namely the short term memory capacity (MC) [3] and the Fisher memory curve (FMC) [2]. We show that even though MC and FMC map the memory structure of the system under investigation from two quite different perspectives, for linear input driven dynamical systems they ...

Arithmetic Kleinian groups are arithmetic lattices in PSL2(C). We present an algorithm that, given such a group Γ, returns a fundamental domain and a finite presentation for Γ with a computable isomorphism.

Disk galaxies in a cluster of galaxies are moving in hot gas filling the cluster. Generally, they are moving at transonic or supersonic velocities. If ram-pressure stripping is insufficient to destroy the gas disk, the galaxies should be affected by the wind of the surrounding hot gas similar to an airfoil. In this paper, I consider whether the aerodynamic interaction can be strong enough to fo...

Parental scaffolding is an important mechanism utilized by infants during their development. Infants, for example, pay stronger attention to the features of objects highlighted by parents and learn the way of manipulating an object while being supported by parents. Parents are known to make modifications in infant-directed actions, i.e. use “motionese”. Motionese is characterized by higher rang...

It is discussed that many researches relevant to the media communication issue user's anonymity widely. However it tends to be unremarked that the physical interaction by the participants who have uncertain attribute symbolized anonymity. This paper focuses the indirect interaction by participants. And we examine that participants recognize existence of the others through the indirect interacti...

One of the major developments of twentieth century physics has been the gradual recognition that a common feature of the known fundamental interactions is their gauge structure. In this article the authors review the early history of gauge theory, from Einstein’s theory of gravitation to the appearance of non-abelian gauge theories in the fifties. The authors also review the early history of di...

Despite the availability of a large number of protein-protein interactions (PPIs) in several species, researchers are often limited to using very small subsets in a few organisms due to the high prevalence of spurious interactions. In spite of the importance of quality assessment of experimentally determined PPIs, a surprisingly small number of databases provide interactions with scores and con...

This chapter surveys the fundamental forces that drive the formation and size of cities. We discuss the different types of agglomeration economies generated by a dense web of activities, with special emphasis on the benefits associated with the clustering of highly skilled workers. The distribution of activities within cities results from the trade-off between commuting and housing costs. We sh...
