For example, x1 + · · · + xd ∈ Ud (C). This follows from the fact that the upper half plane is a cone, so if σ1, . . . , σd are in the upper half plane then so is their sum. Another example is x1x2 − 1. If σ1 and σ2 are in the upper half plane then σ1σ2 ∈ C \ (0,∞), so σ1σ2 − 1 is not zero. U1 (C) is easily described. It is all polynomials in one variable whose roots are either real, or lie in ...

The present study examined the spatial distribution of involuntary attentional capture over the two visual hemi-fields. A new experiment, and an analysis of three previous experiments showed that distractors in the left visual field that matched a sought-for target in color produced a much larger capture effect than identical distractors in the right visual field, revealing a visual field asymm...

An important variant of the traditional line bisection task has involved a mechanical device invented by Bisiach and his colleagues (Bisiach et al. Perceptual and premotor factors of unilateral neglect. Neurology 1990;40:1278-81 [3]). This tool was devised to dissociate motor from perceptual factors in hemi-spatial neglect, by means of a mid-line indicator which moved 'congruently' or 'non-cong...

Secondary glutamate transporters in neuronal and glial cells in the mammalian central nervous system remove the excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate from the synaptic cleft and prevent the extracellular glutamate concentration to rise above neurotoxic levels. Secondary structure prediction algorithms predict 6 transmembrane helices in the first half of the transporters but fail in the C-termin...

A general dynamical system composed by two coupled sectors is considered. The initial time configuration of one of these sectors is described by a set of classical data while the other is described by standard quantum data. These dynamical systems will be named half quantum. The aim of this paper is to derive the dynamical evolution of a general half quantum system from its full quantum formula...

A subgroup of the automorphism group a graph acts half-arc-transitively on if it transitively vertex-set and edge-set but not arc-set graph. If full half-arc-transitively, is said to be half-arc-transitive. In 1994 Gardiner Praeger introduced two families tetravalent arc-transitive graphs, called C±1 C±ε that play prominent role in characterization graphs admitting an automorphisms with normal ...

Patients with hemi-spatial neglect have trouble finding targets defined by a conjunction of visual features. The problem is widely believed to stem from a high-level deficit in attentional deployment, which in turn has led to disagreement over whether the detection of basic features is also disrupted. If one assumes that the detection of salient visual features can be based on the output of spa...

Tetanus neurotoxin (TeNT) is a powerful bacterial protein toxin that cleaves VAMP/synaptobrevin, an essential protein of the synaptic vesicle fusion machinery, and consequently blocks neurotransmission. The extreme neurospecificity of TeNT is determined by the binding of its C-terminal domain (fragment C or H(C)) to neuronal receptors. Whereas polysialogangliosides are known acceptors for the t...
