This investigation brings together a response-time system identification methodology (e.g., Townsend & Wenger Psychonomic Bulletin & Review 11, 391-418, 2004a) and an accuracy methodology, intended to assess models of integration across stimulus dimensions (features, modalities, etc.) that were proposed by Shaw and colleagues (e.g., Mulligan & Shaw Perception & Psychophysics 28, 471-478, 1980)....

Charged residues in the S4 transmembrane segment of voltage-gated cation channels play a key role in opening channels in response to changes in voltage across the cell membrane. However, the molecular mechanism of channel activation is not well understood. To learn more about the role of the S4 in channel gating, we constructed chimeras in which S4 segments from several divergent potassium chan...

Complete synchronization between two Hele-Shaw cells is examined. The two dynamical systems are chaotic in time and spatially extended in two dimensions. It is shown that a large number of connectors are needed to achieve synchronization. In particular, we have studied how the number of connectors influences the dynamical regime that is set inside the Hele-Shaw cells.

• 14 frozen soil thermal conductivity (FSTC) algorithms in land surface models were reviewed. These FSTC evaluated with measurements at temperature ≤−4 °C. The Becker 1992 algorithm performed the based on measured FSTC. incorporated into SHAW model for evaluation. No perform well, average bias ranging from −2.2 to 2.8 °C and −0.08 0.1 cm 3 −3 . Frozen (FSTC, λ eff ) is a critical thermophysical...
