Gibbon's scalar expectancy theory assumes three processing stages in time estimation: a collating level in which event durations are automatically tracked, a counting level that reads out the time-tracking system, and a comparing level in which event durations are matched to abstract temporal references. Pöppel's theory, however, postulates a dual system for perception of durations below and ab...

A bstract In the modular linear differential equation (MLDE) approach to classifying rational conformal field theories (RCFTs) both MLDE and RCFT are identified by a pair of non-negative integers [n,l] . n is number characters as well order that solve l , Wronskian index, associated structure zeroes characters. this paper, we study [3,0] [3,2] MLDEs in classify corresponding CFTs. We reduce pro...

BACKGROUND Electrical stimulation of peripheral nerves produces acute analgesic effects. This randomized, sham-controlled, crossover study was designed to evaluate the effect of differing durations of electrical stimulation on the analgesic response to percutaneous electrical nerve stimulation in 75 consenting patients with low back pain. METHODS All patients received electrical stimulation f...

In this paper we study the problem of scheduling a given sequence activities where each activity consumes resource with limited availability. Activity durations as well consumptions are assumed to be time-dependent. Because interaction time-dependent and consumptions, policies based on starting in early possible may fail due unnecessarily high exceeding availability resource. We propose dynamic...

We establish sufficient conditions on durations that are stationary with finite variance and memory parameter d ∈ [0, 1/2) to ensure that the corresponding counting process N(t) satisfies VarN(t) ∼ Ct (C > 0) as t → ∞, with the same memory parameter d ∈ [0, 1/2) that was assumed for the durations. Thus, these conditions ensure that the memory in durations propagates to the same memory parameter...

We extend a structural result by A. Dress and M. Steel [3], to show that the three-state Perfect Phylogeny problem reduces in polynomial time to the classic 2-SAT problem. We also give a more expanded exposition of the proof of the structural result from [3]. We hope this note will encourage additional researchers to try to solve the central open question: finding simple efficient solutions to ...
