We study spatiotemporal intermittency (STI) in a system of coupled sine circle maps. The phase diagram of the system shows parameter regimes where the STI lies in the directed percolation (DP) class, as well as regimes which show pure spatial intermittency (where the temporal behavior is regular) which do not belong to the DP class. Thus both DP and non-DP behavior can be seen in the same syste...

Non-synostotic deformational plagiocephaly (DP) is head asymmetry that results from external forces that mold the skull in the first year of life. Primary care providers are most likely to encounter DP when infants present for well-child care, and for this reason it is important that providers be competent in assessing, diagnosing, and participating in the prevention and management of DP. The p...

Location. The internship will take place at the " Institut de Mathématiques de Jussieu-Paris Rive Gauche " in Jussieu. Scientific context and objectives. A DP-ribbon is a topological cylinder (a sphere with two boundaries) with a distinguished core circle with a distinguished side and an arrangement of DP-ribbons is a finite family of at least two DP-ribbons pairwise attached as shown in Fig. 1...

We found a population of nonlymphoid cells expressing both CD4 and CD8 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of human T-cell leukemia virus type-I pX transgenic rats with autoimmune diseases. These cells, which showed a monocytic phenotype, were also found in wild-type rats, and their number increased by adjuvant-assisted immunization. GM-CSF increased the number of these double-positiv...

4. If b ∈ acl(aS), then dp-rk(b/S) ≤ dp-rk(a/S). 5. dp-rk(ab/S) ≤ dp-rk(a/bS) + dp-rk(b/S). We work in a monster model C of a dp-minimal field (i.e., a field of dp-rank 1). “Models” will refer to small elementary substructures M C. We’ll write concatenation multiplicatively and multiplication using ·. We will assume that C is not strongly minimal. One already knows what strongly minimal fields ...

Stochastic sandpiles self-organize to an absorbing-state critical point with scaling behavior different from directed percolation (DP) and characterized by the presence of an additional conservation law. This is usually called the C-DP or Manna universality class. There remains, however, an exception to this universality principle: a sandpile automaton introduced by Maslov and Zhang, which was ...

Deliberate practice (DP) occurs when an individual intentionally repeats an activity in order to improve performance. The claim of the DP framework is that such behavior is necessary to achieve high levels of expert performance. The proponents of the framework reject evidence that suggests that other variables are also necessary to achieve high levels of expert performance, or they claim that t...

Learning methods based on dynamic programming (DP) are receiving increasing attention in arti cial intelligence. Researchers have argued that DP provides the appropriate basis for compiling planning results into reactive strategies for real-time control, as well as for learning such strategies when the system being controlled is incompletely known. We introduce an algorithm based on DP, which w...

Based upon considerations of a theoretical model of N/N fractionation during steady-state nitrate uptake from soil, we hypothesized that, for plants grown in a common soil environment, whole-plant dN (dP) should vary as a function of the transpiration efficiency of nitrogen acquisition (FN/v) and the difference between dP and root d N (dP 2 dR). We tested these hypotheses with measurements of s...

Developmental prosopagnosia (DP) refers to face recognition deficits in the absence of brain damage. DP affects ∼2% of the population, and it often runs in families. DP studies have made considerable progress in identifying the cognitive and neural characteristics of the disorder. A key challenge is to develop a valid taxonomy of DP that will facilitate many aspects of research.
