We prove that given any θ1, . . . , θ2d−2 ∈ R\Z, the support of the bifurcation measure of the moduli space of degree d rational maps coincides with the closure of classes of maps having 2d − 2 neutral cycles of respective multipliers e1 , . . . , e2d−2 . To this end, we generalize a famous result of McMullen, proving that homeomorphic copies of (∂M) are dense in the support of the k-bifurcatio...

The uppermost section of the Hunter Mine group (HMG) (2728 Ma), a bimodal volcanic complex in the Abitibi greenstone belt, contains both oxide and carbonate facies banded iron-formation (BIF). This paper explores the relationship between volcanic activity and the development of the two types of iron-formation. The oxide facies, represented by chert-jasper-magnetite iron-formation is widespread ...

OBJECTIVE Existing evidence suggests that family interventions can be effective in reducing relapse rates in schizophrenia and related conditions. Despite this, such interventions are not routinely delivered in Australian mental health services. The objective of the current study is to investigate the incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICERs) of introducing three types of family interventio...

Several glycoproteins or polypeptides that are produced by T cells in culture (T lymphokines) and that inhibit cell proliferation in vitro have been identified and characterized. Two of these factors, immune interferon (IFN-3') (1-3) and one member of the lymphotoxin (LT) 1 family (4-6), have been purified to homogeneity, cloned, and sequenced (1-3, 7, 8). Several others are at different stages...

In a previous work, published in this Journal (n.10/2), we outlined the utility to find shared criteria for diagnosing the levels of Intellectual Disability / Mental Retardation. We presented a computerized algorithm based on the predefined and standardized integration of scores derived from intellectual and adaptive tests. In this paper we will report the results of the comparative analysis be...

Single-neuron activity was recorded from the posterior auditory field (PAF) in the cortex of gas-anesthetized cats. Tone bursts and broadband complex sounds were used for auditory stimulation. Responses to frequency-modulated (FM) sounds, in particular, were studied systematically. Linear FM sweeps were centered around the best frequency (BF) of a neuron and had an excursion large enough to cov...
