Denote by Sk the set of floors that can be reached from floor 32 in k, but not in k − 1, steps. Then, obviously, S0 = 32. Now we give description of the algorithm for computing Sk, for any k > 0, assuming that all S0, S1, . . . , Sk−1 have been computed. From the definition of Sk it follows that any element x of Sk was reached from at least one of x − 11, where x − 11 ∈ Sk−1 and x + 6, where x ...

Servo presses achieve high formability by using different punch motion curves, thereby increasing their applicability in conventional processing fields. In this study, the curves of servo were optimized, and effects on springback U-shaped sheet metal explored. Subsequently, optimal curve was determined, effect after investigated. Different proposed simulated for comparison with results methods,...

UCL Press was relaunched at UCL in June 2015, as the UK’s first fully open access university press. It publishes scholarly monographs, textbooks, edited collections, scholarly editions and journals. All publications are made freely available online in open access form and print books are also sold via retailers at an affordable price. UCL authors are funded to publish open access with the Press...

After meeting with health officials on 1 July, US President Barack Obama has called on Congress to back a bill to fund the US response to the Zika virus disease outbreak before it breaks for its seven week summer recess. “We have to get the money from Congress over the next two weeks to make sure that we can begin to develop the effective vaccines, the mosquito abatement tools, the state emerge...

Tongue-pressure resistance training is known to increase tongue strength in seniors and individuals with stroke-related dysphagia. However, evidence of associated functional improvements in swallowing is equivocal. We investigated similarities in pressure waveform profiles between swallowing and several tongue-palate pressure tasks to identify tasks that may be best suited for inclusion in tong...

reduce the moisture content of the pulp coming out of the presses. This will be done by obtaining, from the models, ratios to run the presses at and running the presses at those ratios. Results will be obtained during the next sugar processing campaign at the end of this year. Data analysis, making use of graphic tool XVGR available on X-terminals, will enable to asses the optimisation system e...

Determining if we, or another agent, were responsible for a sensory event can require an accurate sense of timing. Our sense of appropriate timing relationships must, however, be malleable as there is a variable delay between the physical timing of an event and when sensory signals concerning that event are encoded in the brain. One dramatic demonstration of such malleability involves having pe...

Movements of the upper limb are controlled mostly through the contralateral hemisphere. Although overall activity changes in the ipsilateral motor cortex have been reported, their functional significance remains unclear. Using human functional imaging, we analyzed neural finger representations by studying differences in fine-grained activation patterns for single isometric finger presses. We de...

How do populations of neurons represent a variable of interest? The notion of feature spaces is a useful concept to approach this question: According to this model, the activation patterns across a neuronal population are composed of different pattern components. The strength of each of these components varies with one latent feature, which together are the dimensions along which the population...

Drawing on my informal survey of press directors from the Association of American University Presses I contend that effective and sustainable publishing collaborations between research libraries and scholarly presses should be based on organizational interests and have the following characteristics: ongoing communication, clearly articulated expectations, an identified audience, financial proje...
