wilson's disease is a rare but treatable condition with variable clinical presentations. its diagnosis depends on a combination of clinical and laboratory findings. we evaluated the clinical and laboratory findings in children with wilson's disease (wd). twenty -seven children (4-14 years, 59.2 % male, 40.7% female) with confirmed wd were evaluated between 1994 and 2003 at imam khomei...

MacArthur and Wilson [MacArthur, R. H. & Wilson, E. O. (1967) The Theory of Island Biogeography (Princeton Univ. Press, Princeton, NJ)] used the rate of recolonization of the Krakatau Islands (sterilized in the cataclysmic 1883 eruption) by birds and vascular plants to test their equilibrium model of immigration and extinction processes on islands. Working with data only up to 1933, they conclu...

We compute at strong coupling the largeN correlation functions of supersymmetric Wilson loops in large representations of the gauge group with local operators of N = 4 super Yang-Mills. The gauge theory computation of these correlators is performed using matrix model techniques. We show that the strong coupling correlator of the Wilson loop with the stress tensor computed using the matrix model...

In gauge systems coupled to matter, the static potential flattens out at a scale where the confining string breaks by formation of a dynamical pair of particles. Surprisingly, such a breaking is invisible in Wilson loops even when the inter-charge separation is much larger than the flattening scale. Observing string breaking also requires using different operators. A known string mechanism prov...

Models of the perception of phonologically variant speech differ in the extent to which contextual information is used predictively versus regressively. These temporal disparities reflect similar differences in the experimental literature on the perception of English place assimilation (in which for example the place of the /n/ in lean bacon takes on the bilabial place of articulation of the fo...

The detection of environmental regularity is a fundamental process in visual perception. One way of increasing our understanding of the visual system is by modelling the performance of human observers on tasks in which they are required to detect visual regularities such as bilateral symmetry. Past research has indicated that there is a perceptual advantage for symmetry information located imme...

In 2+1 dimensions, Dirac fermions in reducible, i.e. four-component representations of the spinor algebra form the basis of many interesting model field theories and effective descriptions of condensed matter phenomena. This paper explores lattice formulations which preserve the global U(2Nf ) symmetry present in the massless limit, and its breakdown to U(Nf )⊗U(Nf ) implemented by three indepe...

This paper argues that at least some cases of productive language use, specifically cases of apparent variation in word sense, require a treatment at the conceptual level rather than a lexical semantic solution. It is argued that the lexical semantics should be left underspecified in these cases, and the observed variation in truth-conditions should be attributed to differences in conceptual re...
