Whether mathematical and linguistic processes share the same neural mechanisms has been a matter of controversy. By examining various sentence structures, we recently demonstrated that activations in the left inferior frontal gyrus (L. IFG) and left supramarginal gyrus (L. SMG) were modulated by the Degree of Merger (DoM), a measure for the complexity of tree structures. In the present study, w...

As Internet usage grows exponentially, network security issues become increasingly important. Network security measures are needed to protect data during transmission. Various security controls are used to prevent the access of hackers in networks. They are firewall, virtual private networks and encryption algorithms. Out of these, the virtual private network plays a vital role in preventing ha...

Understanding drought tolerance mechanisms requires knowledge about the induced weakness that leads to tree death. Bud survival is vital to sustain tree growth across seasons. We hypothesized that the hydraulic connection of the bud to stem xylem structures was critical for its survival. During an artificial drastic water stress, we carried out a census of bud metabolic activity of young Populu...

Abstract In this paper, we generalize the Nguyen–Spradlin–Volovich–Wen (NSVW) tree formula from MHV sector to any helicity sector. We find a close connection between Permutohedron and KLT relation, construct non-trivial mapping them, linking amplitudes in gauge gravity theories. The amplitude can also be mapped determinant followed matrix-tree theorem. Besides, use binary graphs manifest its Li...

We develop a semantic foundation and a core programming language for bi-directional transformations on tree-stuctured data. In one direction, these transformations, called lenses, map a complex “concrete” tree into a simplified “abstract” one; in the other, they map a modified abstract tree, together with the original concrete tree, to a correspondingly modified concrete tree. The challenge of ...

background non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (nafld) is the most common form of liver disease in many parts of the world. objectives the aim of the present study was to identify the most important factors influencing nafld using a classification tree (ct) to predict the probability of nafld. patients and methods this cross-sectional study was conducted in kavar, a town in the south of fars prov...

Phylogenetic networks are rooted, labelled directed acyclic graphswhich are commonly used to represent reticulate evolution. There is a close relationship between phylogenetic networks and multi-labelled trees (MUL-trees). Indeed, any phylogenetic network N can be "unfolded" to obtain a MUL-tree U(N) and, conversely, a MUL-tree T can in certain circumstances be "folded" to obtain aphylogenetic ...

Multipoint-to-multipoint communication can be implemented by combining the point-to-multipoint and multipoint-to-point connection algorithms. In an ATM multipoint-to-point connection, multiple sources send data to the same destination on a shared tree. Traffic from multiple branches is merged into a single stream after every merge point. It is sometimes impossible for the network to determine a...
