Two alternative models of organization of the mitochondrial electron transport chain (mETC) have been alternatively favored or questioned by the accumulation evidences of different sources, the solid model or the random collision model. Both agree in the number of respiratory complexes (I-IV) that participate in the mETC, but while the random collision model proposes that Complexes I-IV do not ...

Non-anticommutative Grassmann coordinates in four-dimensional twistdeformed N = 1 Euclidean superspace are decomposed into geometrical ones and quantum shift operators. This decomposition leads to the mapping from the commutative to the non-anticommutative supersymmetric field theory. We apply this mapping to the Wess-Zumino model in commutative field theory and derive the corresponding non-ant...

6 One of the most remarkable characteristics of collective motion of fish is the emergence of 7 complex migration patterns in which swimming fish are synchronised by remaining together 8 and moving in the same direction. These migration patterns, referred to as fish schools, are 9 often explained using individual based models (IBM’s) that focus on interactions between 10 single individuals. The...

Motivated by the SALLJEX Intercomparison Program in 2003 and the THORPEX goals to improve predictability through the proper combination of numerical weather forecasts produced by a large set of models, we have explored the potential predictability associated with the numerical products available in S. America. There are several models outputs currently available of regular basis in S. Approxima...

Previous studies suggested that the synesthesia-like coloured hearing could be found in nonsynesthetic population for both vowel quality and pitch. The vowel-colour and pitch-colour associations were investigated separately so it is unclear whether vowel quality or pitch has a stronger effect on crossmodal colour association, and how they may interact. No study has investigated this phenomenon ...

We reformulate the Cont-Bouchaud model of financial markets in terms of classical “super-spins” where the spin value is a measure of the number of individual traders represented by a portfolio manager of an investment agency. We then extend this simplified model by switching on interactions among the super-spins to model the tendency of agencies getting influenced by the opinion of other manage...

Abstract—There exists some time lag between the consumption of inputs and the production of outputs. This time lag effect should be considered in calculating efficiency of decision making units (DMU). Recently, a couple of DEA models were developed for considering time lag effect in efficiency evaluation of research activities. However, these models can’t discriminate efficient DMUs because of ...

We extend the study on the algebraic structure of the su(n) color Calogero-Sutherland models to the case of gl(n|m) color CS model and show that the generators of the super-Yangian Y (gl(n|m)) can be obtained from two gl(n|m) loop algebras. Also, a super W ∞ algebra for the SUSY CS model is constructed.

BACKGROUND/AIMS Many studies have shown that experienced second language (L2) learners are more skilled than novice L2 learners at a variety of L2 tasks, including auditory discrimination between members of L2 phonological contrasts. In this paper we argued that while L2 experience is typically beneficial when comparing the effects of more versus less experience, it is not necessarily beneficia...
