10 Boolean delay equations (BDEs) provide a mathematical framework to formulate and analyze conceptual models of complex multi-component systems. This framework is used here to construct a simple conceptual model for the El-Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon. ENSO involves the coupling of atmospheric and oceanic processes that are far from being completely understood. Our BDE model use...

Monoclonal antibodies (McAbs) were raised against the aggregation factor (AF) from the marine sponge Geodia cydonium. Two clones were identified that secrete McAbs against the cell binding protein of the AF complex. Fab fragments of McAbs: 5D2-D11 completely abolished the activity of the AF to form secondary aggregates from single cells. The McAbs were determined to react with the AF in vitro; ...

Verilog-2001 added many valuable enhancements to the IEEE1364-1995 Verilog Standard, but when can we safely use them? When the full suite of tools used by your company to do design all support Verilog-2001 enhancements, your company can safely start taking advantage of the enhancements. This paper details a number Verilog-2001 coding examples and indicates which simulation tools support the enh...

Prasad SN, et al. BMJ Case Rep 2017. doi:10.1136/bcr-2017-223029 Description A 12-year-old girl presented with a large painless hard swelling in the left parietal region, gradually increasing in size for 6 years. No complaint of headache or visual disturbance was present. Radiographs showed a large expansile lytic lesion with prominent bony trabeculae radiating centrifugally from the centre of ...

Star-forming galaxies (SFGs) with stellar masses below 10 M ⊙ make up the bulk of galaxy population at z > 2. The properties cold gas in these can only be probed very deep observations or by targeting strongly lensed galaxies. Here we report results a pilot survey using Atacama Compact Array molecular most magnified selected as giant arcs optical data. selection rest-frame ultraviolet (UV) w...

Traditional visualization techniques for multidimensional data sets, such as parallel coordinates, star glyphs, and scatterplot matrices, do not scale well to high dimensional data sets. A common approach to solve this problem is dimensionality reduction. Existing dimensionality reduction techniques, such as Principal Component Analysis, Multidimensional Scaling, and Self Organizing Maps, have ...

' 2005 CMA Media Inc. A 45-year-old man came to a primary centre with brief but progressive right-costal pain that followed heavy coughing secondary to pneumonia. The pain was pleuritic in nature but was also increased by direct palpation. Rest relieved it; acetaminophen had little effect. He reported right 6th–7th rib fractures a year previously. His other medical conditions included multiple ...

Two unsupervised neural networks were tested to understand the extent to which they capture elements of bumblebees’ unlearned preferences towards flower-like visual properties. The networks, which are based on Independent Component Analysis and Feature-Extracting Bidirectional Associative Memory use images of test-patterns that are identical to ones used in behavioural studies. While both model...
