Suppose that λ = μ+ and μ is singular. We consider two aspects of the square property on subsets of λ. First, we have results which show e.g. that for א0 < κ = cf(κ) < μ, the equality cf([μ]≤κ,⊆) = μ is a sufficient condition for the set of elements of λ whose cofinality is ≤ κ to be split into the union of μ sets with squares. Secondly, we introduce a certain weak version of the square propert...

To examine the functional interactions between the color and form pathways in the primate visual cortex, we have examined the functional connectivity between pairs of color oriented and nonoriented V1 and V2 neurons in Macaque monkeys. Optical imaging maps for color selectivity, orientation preference, and ocular dominance were used to identify specific functional compartments within V1 and V2 ...

In the history of English one finds a mixture of V2 and non-V2 word order in declaratives for several hundred years, with frequencies suggesting a relatively gradual development in the direction of non-V2. Within an extended version of a cue-based approach to acquisition and change, this paper argues that there are many possible V2 grammars, differing from each other with respect to clause type...

In this paper, data from a study investigating the acquisition of verb second (V2) word order in a dialect of Norwegian which allows two different word orders in wh-questions (V2 and V3) are used to argue for a cue-based approach to language acquisition and change (Lightfoot 1999). More specifically, it is shown that certain word order patterns that are dependent on information structure are ac...

In Grid computing, a data transfer protocol called GridFTP has been widely used for efficiently transferring a large volume of data. Currently, two versions of GridFTP protocols, GridFTP version 1 (GridFTP v1) and GridFTP version 2 (GridFTP v2), have been proposed in the GGF. GridFTP v2 supports several advanced features such as data streaming, dynamic resource allocation, and checksum transfer...

Given n subspaces of a finite-dimensional vector space over a fixed finite field F, we wish to find a linear layout V1, V2, . . . , Vn of the subspaces such that dim((V1+V2+· · ·+Vi)∩(Vi+1+· · ·+Vn)) ≤ k for all i; such a linear layout is said to have width at most k. When restricted to 1-dimensional subspaces, this problem is equivalent to computing the path-width of an F-represented matroid i...

The V2 protein of tomato yellow leaf curl geminivirus (TYLCV) functions as an RNA-silencing suppressor that counteracts the innate immune response of the host plant. The host-cell target of V2, however, remains unknown. Here we show that V2 interacts directly with SlSGS3, the tomato homolog of the Arabidopsis SGS3 protein (AtSGS3), which is known to be involved in the RNA-silencing pathway. SlS...

We describe and analyze the password-based key establishment protocol PACE v2 Integrated Mapping (IM), an evolution of PACE v1 jointly proposed by Gemalto and Sagem Sécurité. PACE v2 IM enjoys the following properties: – patent-freeness (to the best of current knowledge in the field); – full resistance to dictionary attacks, secrecy and forward secrecy in the security model agreed upon by the C...

The hot, dense nuclear medium created in Gold-Gold collisions at RHIC exhibits strong, anisotropic collective motion, characterized by the elliptic flow coefficient v2. v2 has been extensively studied, and is thought to be related to the initial eccentricity of the colliding system and its resulting density, quantified by 1 S dN dη . Recently, RHIC has begun colliding Uranium ions. Collisions o...
