Kinetic transition networks can now be calculated for small proteins using geometry optimisation to characterise minima, transition states and pathways, and unimolecular rate theory to supply rate constants corresponding to each transition state. The networks can be visualised by constructing disconnectivity graphs, revealing striking differences between good structure-seeking systems and a mod...

Correctly assessing the consequences of events is essential for a successful interaction with the world. It not only requires a causal understanding of the world but also the ability to distinguish whether a given event is the result of an agent’s own action (intervention) or simply the consequence of the world being in action (observation). Previous studies have shown that humans can learn cau...

In this section, we discuss briefly how to compare different almost complex structures on a manifold. Let M be a fixed compact manifold, TM its tangent bundle. Let J ∈ End(TM ) be an almost complex structure on M , with associated decomposition TM ⊗ C ' TM 0,1 ⊕ TM 1,0, and projections π0,1 and π1,0 to the two summands. Now suppose J ′ is a second almost complex structure. The reader should thi...

In our previous work we have introduced filters on the set of countable ordinals as invariants to standard characteristics of walks in this domain. In this note we examine their projections to the set of natural numbers.

The flexibility of Korean NP structures has been well-observed, but there have been few attempts to provide precise syntactic structures. This paper at first reviews the basic distributional properties of Korean prenominal expressions as well as constraints in ordering, and then sketches a constraint-based, lexicalist analysis for Korean NP structures. Arguing for surface-based syntactic struct...

In this paper we investigate the regularity properties of weighted Bergman projections for smoothly bounded pseudo-convex domains of finite type in C. The main result is obtained for weights equal to a non-negative rational power of the absolute value of a special defining function ρ of the domain: we prove (weighted) Sobolev-L and Lipschitz estimates for domains in C2 (or, more generally, for ...

OBJECTIVE: This study utilized an observational coding scheme to identify parenting behavior reflecting psychological control and autonomy granting and examined relations between these parenting dimensions and indices of child and family functioning. DESIGN: A community sample of 90 preadolescents (aged 10.5 to 12 years) and both of their parents engaged in a triadic interaction that was coded...

We establish sufficient and necessary conditions for an n× n Hermitian matrix A to be a multicommutator or a multianticommutator of orthoprojections.

The research described here builds on our previous work by generalizing the univariate models described there to models for multivariate relations. This family, labelled p*, generalizes the Markov random graphs of Frank and Strauss, which were further developed by them and others, building on Besag's ideas on estimation. These models were first used to model random variables embedded in lattice...

A virus is a program that replicates itself by copying its code into other files. A common virus protection mechanism involves scanning files to detect code patterns of known viruses. We prove that the problem of reliably identifying a bounded-length mutating virus is NP-complete by showing that a virus detector for a certain virus strain can be used to solve the satisfiability problem. The imp...
