The large scale behavior of a population of cells that grow and interact through the concentration field of the chemicals they secrete is studied using dynamical renormalization group methods. The combination of the effective long-range chemotactic interaction and lack of number conservation leads to a rich variety of phase behavior in the system, which includes a sharp transition from a phase ...

We investigate an open question concerning properties of algebraic independence in continuous theories (see Section 4). The rest of the work is essentially a translation to continuous logic of popular notions of independence (in particular, forking and dividing). Much of the time we are simply “copying” classical proofs from well-known sources, while along the way making the necessary adjustmen...

As an effective data representation, storage, management, calculation and analysis model, ontology has been attracted more and more attention by scholars and been applied to various engineering disciplines. In the background of big data, the ontology is expected to increase the amount of data information, and the structure of its corresponding ontology graph has become complicated. Thus, it dem...

A dual-task paradigm was used to examine the effect of withdrawing attentional and/or cognitive resources from the flash-lag judgment. The flash-lag illusion was larger, and performance in a detection task was generally poorer, under dual-task conditions than in single-task control conditions. These effects were particularly pronounced when decisions in the two tasks were required simultaneousl...

Satellite cells are muscle stem cells that have important roles in postnatal muscle growth and adult muscle regeneration. Although fast- and slow-dividing populations in activated satellite cells have been observed, the functional differences between them remain unclear. Here we elucidated the relationship between proliferation behaviour and satellite cell function. To assess the frequency of c...
