In pharmacy education, we are experiencing the “new normal” after an “inflection point” along with a host of other overused phrases. Yet, without doubt, there is pressing need to reconsider what was once standard operating procedure. When inflection point viewed as opportunity, it sparks strategic boom. Indeed, confluence threats and opportunities caused—or revealed—by COVID-19 pandemic setting...

In this paper we compare the method of Lagrangian descriptors with classical Poincare maps for revealing phase space structure two degree-of-freedom Hamiltonian systems. The comparison is carried out by considering dynamics a system having valley ridge inflection point (VRI) potential energy surface. VRI surfaces have four critical points: high saddle and lower separating wells. between points ...

This paper presents a framework for unsupervised natural language morphology induction wherein candidate suffixes are grouped into candidate inflection classes, which are then arranged in a lattice structure. With similar candidate inflection classes placed near one another in the lattice, I propose this structure is an ideal search space in which to isolate the true inflection classes of a lan...

Any theory of nominal inflection has to fulfil two tasks for a given language. First, the inventory of inflection markers has to be determined; and second, the syntactic distribution of these markers has to be accounted for. Typically, the latter task is handled within the syntactic component of a grammar, whereas the former task is addressed in a morphological (or lexical) component that is pr...

Supervised morphological paradigm learning by identifying and aligning the longest common subsequence found in inflection tables has recently been proposed as a simple yet competitive way to induce morphological patterns. We combine this non-probabilistic strategy of inflection table generalization with a discriminative classifier to permit the reconstruction of complete inflection tables of un...

In this short note we give a criterion when a planar tree-like curve, i.e. a generic curve in R 2 each double point of which cuts it into two disjoint parts, can be send by a diffeomorphism of R 2 onto a curve with no inflection points. We also present some upper and lower bounds for the minimal number of inflection points on such curves unremovable by diffeomorphisms of R 2. §1. Introduction T...

We introduce a new method for the recognition of partially occluded objects represented only by their contours. Object description, which stems from the inflection point detection, approximates the object by polygon and is affine invariant. The matching algorithm is simple and easy to implement. 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

We present a graphical analysis of the mechanisms underlying the occurrences of bubbling sequences and bistability regions in the bifurcation scenario of a special class of one dimensional two parameter maps. The main result of the analysis is that whether it is bubbling or bistability is decided by the sign of the third derivative at the inflection point of the map function.
