Because smooth-pursuit eye movements (SPEM) can be executed only in the presence of a moving target, it has been difficult to attribute the neuronal activity observed during the execution of these eye movements to either sensory processing or to motor preparation or execution. Previously, we showed that rhesus monkeys can be trained to perform SPEM directed toward an "imaginary" target defined ...

We show that if L is a second-order uniformly elliptic operator in divergence form on R, then C1(1+ |α|) ≤ ‖L‖L1→L1,∞ ≤ C2(1+ |α|). We also prove that the upper bounds remain true for any operator with the finite speed propagation property.

Breath has a realist function in most artistic media. It serves to remind the reader, the viewer or the spectator of the exigencies of the body. In science fiction (SF) literature and films, breath is often a plot device for human encounters with otherness, either with alien peoples, who may not breathe oxygen, or environments, where there may not be oxygen to breathe. But while there is a tech...
