Performance in complex tasks is essential for many high risk operators. The achievement of such supported by high-level cognitive functions arguably involving functional activity and connectivity a large ensemble brain areas that form the fronto-parietal network. Here we aimed at determining whether rest within this network could predict performance task: Space Fortress video game. Functional N...

We study stability of solutions of the Cauchy problem for the Hunter–Saxton equation ut + uux = 14 ( R x −∞ u 2 x dx− R∞ x ux dx) with initial data u0. In particular, we derive a new Lipschitz metric dD with the property that for two solutions u and v of the equation we have dD(u(t), v(t)) ≤ edD(u0, v0).

We present TrustNeighborhoods, a security trust visualization for situational awareness on the Internet aimed at novice and intermediate users of a distributed file sharing system. The TrustNeighborhoods technique uses the metaphor of a multi-layered city or fortress to intuitively represent trust as a simple geographic relation. The visualization uses a radial space-filling layout; there is a ...

A supersymmetric extension of the Hunter-Saxton equation is constructed. We present its bi-Hamiltonian structure and show that it arises geometrically as a geodesic equation on the space of superdiffeomorphisms of the circle that leave a point fixed endowed with a right-invariant metric.

The study of a well-preserved crucible fragment from the Middle Kingdom Egyptian fortress in Buhen lower Nubia revealed unexpected presence numerous prills very arsenic- and nickel-rich copper alloy what looks like smelting slag. Based on optical scanning electron microscopy polished section, this paper discusses potential metallurgical process that was carried out type crucible. Strongly reduc...
