We distinguish two types of topology changes. Changes in the underlying network topology do not affect our suppression and redundancy schemes, because we operate at the level of suppression edges, which we do not assume to be direct communication edges. Changes in the suppression topology can be handled in a straightforward manner. For each suppression edge i → j that we want to change or creat...

Abstract Introduction Spatial learning in rodents is useful for addressing a variety of research questions. We set out to create fully automated spatial task that required make sequence cued navigational decisions. used this maze investigate the impact sleep on insight gain, sudden rather than gradual acquisition skill or behavior. Methods designed circular four-quadrant elevated maze. Each qua...

cation exchange capacity and specific surface area are among some of the important soil characteristics the direct measurement of which is laborious, costly and time consuming. therefore, fractal dimension of particle size distribution has been widely studied in relation with many such dynamic and static processes as transmission of water and solutes, water holding capacity, heat storage and co...

Organic agriculture (OA) is practiced on 1% of the global agricultural land area and its importance continues to grow.

We present a comprehensive study of the effects of third-order dispersion (TOD) on dispersion-managed (DM) solitons. The two main effects of TOD are creation of asymmetry of the DM soliton’s profile and generation of continuum radiation. Considering these two effects, we derive a conservative bound on the magnitude of TOD below which it will not have a significant detrimental effect on DM solit...
