In this paper we use wavelet coherency and phase-difference analysis to classify all Spanish provinces based on Monthly Total Mortgage data in each province and Quarterly Gross Domestic Product data in Spain. The information obtained using wavelet analysis leads us to propose two different classifications for the fifty-two Spanish provinces. First, we use the wavelet coherency level between two...

E3 colicinogenic cells are immune to colicin E3. A protein called "E3 immunity protein" was previously isolated from E3 colicinogenic cells and shown to prevent the E3-induced in vitro inactivation of ribosomes. We now show that the structural gene for E3 immunity protein resides on the Col E3 plasmid, a plasmid which is present in E3 colicinogenic cells and carries the structural gene for coli...

Head direction cells change their firing rates as a function of the orientation of an animal within an environment. Typically, these cells display a unimodal tuning curve with maximal firing at the cell's preferred direction. As different cells have different preferred directions, the population of cells has been hypothesized to represent the orientation of the animal within the environment. Pr...

For many applications of scalable multicomputers with distributed memory it is desirable to provide transparent shared virtual memory. For such applications, the hardware and system software must maintain coherency among the local memories. Most existing coherency schemes for multicomputers manage memory uniformly at a single granularity of fixed size pages or cache blocks, leading to unnecessa...

Prolonged observations of moving plaids lead to bi-stable alternations between coherency and transparency. However, most studies of plaids used brief presentations and a 2AFC between the two interpretations, thus overlooking the dynamical aspect of plaid perception. In other domains, most notably binocular rivalry, it was shown that the dynamics of the bi-stable alternations reveal important in...

This study investigates stakeholders' perception of the sustainability Nigeria's MYTO pricing methodology vis-Ã -vis government's electricity efficiency objectives. Using a five-point Likert questionnaire, data was collected and analysed via descriptive regression analyses. The results indicate that 96% variations in is accounted for by objectives acceptability, accessibility availability. conc...

Our research focuses on developing design-oriented analytical tools that enable us to better understand how a network comprising dynamic and static elements behaves when it is set in oscillatory motion, and how the interconnection topology relates to the spectral properties of the system. Such oscillatory networks are ubiquitous, extending from miniature electronic circuits to large-scale power...
