Table S1. Timing of inflection points associated with start of the season green up dates for each of the eleven regions for which we have high-resolution data. We selected 7,500 random pixels from each of the eleven sites for which we had high-resolution validation data. We examined whether the inflection point associated with the start of the season occurred between May through July (monsoon s...

Liposome disintegration by either ultrasonic vibration or sodium cholate solubilization was investigated as a function of cholesterol (CH) content in the egg phosphatidylcholine (PC) liposome membrane. Turbidity changes were used as an indication of the membrane stability to these stresses. First-order disintegration constants (kufor ultrasonic stress and ksfor sodium cholate solubilization) we...

If the dark halo matter is primarily composed of MACHOs toward the lower end of the possible detection range (< 10 M⊙) a fraction of the lens detection events should involve the lens crossing directly in front of the disk of the background star. Previously, Nemiroff (1987) has shown that each crossing would create an inflection point in the light curve of the MACHO event. Such inflection points...

Abstract In Tashlhiyt Berber nouns, grammatical gender is usually expressed on both edges of the noun by segment /t/. However, at right edge, there another, more minor pattern: many grammatically feminine nouns end in a vowel. The regular realization involves final /t/ associated to suffixal CV unit. Vowel-final are derived when stem vowel V position suffix, blocking association This right-edge...

In a series of articles Ullman (2001, 2004; Ullman et al., 1997) has proposed that regular inflection is critically subserved by Broca's area. This suggestion is motivated by the finding that English speaking Broca's aphasics show selective deficits with regular inflection. Here we argue that this proposal does not hold cross-linguistically but is based on a confound between inflectional suffix...

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...
