Even with the recent exponential growth in neuroscience research, relatively little attention has been given to cultural influences on brain maturation. In the case of psychological processes that are culturally variable, work in cultural developmental neuroscience is vital in determining the degree of generality that can be attributed to neuroscientific findings and in providing unique insight...

JEL Classification Code(s): J 31, J 71) "Perceptions of Discrimination, Effort to Obtain Psychological Balance, and Relative Wages: Can We Infer a Happiness Gradient?" There is a substantial literature that finds a linkage between happiness and relative economic well being as measured by earnings or wages. There is also a well documented racial gap in wages. One explanation for this is disparat...

Background: Few previous studies have investigated the incidence rate (IR) and point prevalence (PP) of seropositive seronegative rheumatoid arthritis (RA), further, estimates remain unknown in Danish population. Objectives: To investigate IR PP RA adult population from 1998 to 2018 using four register-based case definitions RA. Methods: Nationwide cohort study. Using administrative registers, ...

INTRODUCTION In combination with multivariate pattern analysis algorithms such as Support Vector Machines (SVM) [1] or Support Vector Regression (SVR) [2], functional connectivity offers a powerful tool for brain classification. With this approach, several groups have successfully identified and predicted brain characteristics using resting-state MRI data [35]. Specifically, Dosenbach et al. ha...

Remarks given in the review of Paper 1 should be taken into account, more particularly remarks about the expected limitations and real performances over the size range targetted by LOAC. Since we have presented in the revised version of paper 1 some new results confirming the performances of LOAC, we prefer not changing the text here. 2.

A method of determining optimal control for functional differential systems is presented. This is a generalization of Krasovskii's results on the optimal control of time delay" systems, which include several of the results published recently. A technique for the numerical solution of the resulting Riccati equations is developed, and an example is worked to illustrate the presented results. 1, I...
