in this paper boundedness and compactness of generalized composition oper-ators from logarithmic bloch type spaces to q_k type spaces are investigated.

Recent work has demonstrated that attention can be configured to multiple potential targets in spatial search. However, this previous work relied on a fixed set of targets across multiple trials, allowing observers to offload attentional control settings to longer-term representations. In the present experiments, we demonstrate multiple attentional control settings that operate independently of...

Several growth factors (GFs) have been implicated in long-term memory (LTM), but no single GF can support all of the plastic changes that occur during memory formation. Because GFs engage highly convergent signaling cascades that often mediate similar functional outcomes, the relative contribution of any particular GF to LTM is difficult to ascertain. To explore this question, we determined the...

The roles of visual and haptic experience in different aspects of haptic processing of objects in peripersonal space are examined. In three trials, early-blind, late-blind, and blindfolded-sighted individuals had to match ten shapes haptically to the cut-outs in a board as fast as possible. Both blind groups were much faster than the sighted in all three trials. All three groups improved consid...

The requirements for Good Clinical Practice (GCP) in clinical trials are well documented [1], and ethical issues are hotly debated [2]. Operational aspects of trials, however, have received far less attention [3], perhaps due to restrictions on journal space for detailing methods. In low resource set t ings , however , large tr ia l s often face many logistical and organizational obstacles, and...

We present novel enhanced finite element methods for the Darcy problem starting from the non stable continuous P1/P0 finite element space enriched with multiscale functions. The methods are derived in a Petrov-Galerkin framework where both velocity and pressure trial spaces are enriched with functions based on residuals of the strong equations in each element and edge partition. The strategy le...

We lay out a program for constructing discontinuous Petrov-Galerkin (DPG) schemes having test function spaces that are automatically computable to guarantee stability. Given a trial space, a DPG discretization using its optimal test space counterpart inherits stability from the well-posedness of the undiscretized problem. Although the question of stable test space choice had attracted the atten...

The Shake-and-Bake algorithm is a powerful formulation of direct methods which alternates reciprocal-space phase refinement with filtering in real space to impose constraints. As implemented in SnB version 1.5, the current distributed version of the computer program, Shake-and-Bake combines peak picking in real space with optimization via either parameter-shift reduction of the minimal-function...

with subjects’ judgment of attentional state (see also VanRullen et al., 2011 for a review of evidence linking alpha oscillations to perception and attention). Multivariate methods are often used to characterize the spatial–temporal variance in each trial in order to derive pattern classifiers (see however Friston et al., 1996 for a more traditional use). For instance, Touryan et al. (2011) use...

Space heating represents a major share of households’ total energy consumption and related CO2 emissions. An approach often suggested to improve both the environmental economic performance system is demand-side management. However, there has been little research into how households perceive load shifting in space heating. This paper evaluates thermal perception among tenants 33 multi-residentia...
