Background and Purpose Research has identified a number of factors associated with poststroke recovery, but the prediction of long-term functional outcome remains an uncertain endeavor. In previous work, extinction to tactile, doublesimultaneous stimulation has been shown to have short-term predictive utility. The present study was designed to examine its long-term prognostic value and to deter...

In [Sh, chapter XI], Shelah shows that certain revised countable support (RCS) iterations do not add reals. His motivation is to establish the independence (relative to large cardinals) of Avraham’s problem on the existence

We present a spectrum of default logics, using powerdomains to encode default constraints. The resulting non-monotonic entailment relations all satisfy the law of reasoning by cases. This result is a consequence of two general theorems valid for any Scott domain: the Di-chotomy Theorem and the Extension Splitting Theorem. We brieey indicate that for propositional logic, the complexity of entail...

The mammalian acquired immune system is a robust and powerful information processing system that demonstrates features such as decentralised control, parallel processing, adaptation, and learning through experience. Artificial Immune Systems (AIS) are a class of machine-learning algorithms that are imbued with some principles of the immune system, and attempt to take advantage of some of the be...

In this paper we argue that the cluster-approach is an adequate concept to capture the essence of innovation processes in an industry. The cluster concept takes all ‘innovation stakeholders’ into account and as such forms an alternative for the sectoral approach of an industry. Clusters can have very cohesive and integrated structures but may not not be very inclined to adapt when circumstances...

We study investments in impact funds, which we define as private equity funds with a stated mandate to fund companies that generate both financial returns and positive externalities. Using data on the capital commitments of 6,000 limited partners (LPs) into 10,000 funds, we examine the effect of impact on LP’s fund choice within a general fund choice model. We focus on how fund choice varies by...
