In this paper, we derive graphical and analytic criteria for the existence of periodic oscillations in large-scale cyclic gene regulatory networks, and present quantitative biological insight based on the analytic result. Based on the Poincaré-Bendixson theorem for cyclic systems, it is first shown that local instability of an equilibrium point implies the existence of periodic oscillations. Th...

The differential diagnosis of the type of feeblemindedness known as imbecility is by no means an artisan's job. No foot rule, scale, or point system has been devised or will ever be devised that will relieve the clinician of long, patient, and discriminating analysis in arriving at a diagnosis. An individual may be diagnosed or classified as an imbecile on the mental scale, on the intellectual ...

We present finite energy analytic monopole and dyon solutions whose size is fixed by the electroweak scale. We discuss two types of solutions. The first type is obtained by regularizing the recent solutions of Cho and Maison by modifying the coupling strength of the quartic self-interaction of W -boson in WeinbergSalam model. The second is obtained by enlarging the gauge group SU(2)×U(1) to SU(...

Resilience, the ability to maintain or regain positive levels of functioning despite adversity, is one of several strengths that can assist people in positive life adaptation. Midlife (35 60 years) is a period when individuals need to adapt to several major changes and challenges. However, no scale exists to measure resilience specifically in the midlife population. Therefore, this study develo...

In this paper we describe a measurement-analytic framework for estimating the overflow probability, an important measure of quality of service (QoS), at a given multiplexing point in the network. A multiplexing point in the network could be a multiplexer or an output port of a switch where resources such as bandwidth and buffers are shared. Our approach impinges on using the notion of the domin...

We prove a conjecture of [3] giving a closed form formula for the norm of the Jack polynomials in superspace with respect to a certain scalar product. The proof is mainly combinatorial and relies on the explicit expression in terms of admissible tableaux of the non-symmetric Jack polynomials. In the final step of the proof appears an identity on weighted sums of partitions that we demonstrate u...

The paper is a contribution both to the theoretical foundations and to the actual construction of efficient automatizable proof procedures for non-classical logics. We focus here on the case of finite-valued logics, and exhibit: (i) a mechanism for producing a classic-like description of them in terms of an effective variety of bivalent semantics; (ii) a mechanism for extracting, from the bival...
