This document reports the activities of the AES working group organized at the Ecole Normale Sup erieure. Several candidates are evaluated. In particular we outline some weaknesses in the designs of some candidates. We mainly discuss selection criteria between the candidates , and make case-by-case comments. We nally recommend the selection of Mars, RC6, Serpent, ... and DFC. As the report is b...

1. On p. 1843 we used the formula dFC 1⁄4 ffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffi d 1 þ d 02 2 q instead of the correct formula dFC 1⁄4 ðd 0 1 þ d 0 2Þ= ffiffiffi 2 p (where di, i = 1,2 is the observer’s sensitivity in the ith interval of a 2-IFC trial). The key consequence of this error is that we compute the slope s of the theoretic line in testing our Claim 3 as s 1⁄4 ffiffiffiff...

In ATT, a human autoimmune serum, we found anti-nucleolar antibodies that recognized nucleolar antigens confined to a single nucleolar compartment, the dense fibrillar component (DFC). We localized these antigens by immunoelectron microscopy in DFC of HeLa cell nucleoli both on Lowicryl sections and cryoultrathin sections without embedding. The antigens were solubilized by incubation with 2M Na...

Fundamental problems in neuroscience today are understanding how patterns of ongoing spontaneous activity are modified by task performance and whether/how these intrinsic patterns influence task-evoked activation and behavior. We examined these questions by comparing instantaneous functional connectivity (IFC) and directed functional connectivity (DFC) changes in two networks that are strongly ...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of triple fixed-combination bimatoprost 0.01%/brimonidine 0.15%/timolol 0.5% (TFC) versus dual fixed-combination brimonidine 0.2%/timolol 0.5% (DFC) in primary open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension. METHODS Patients with intraocular pressure (IOP) ≥23 and ≤34 mmHg were randomized to twice-daily TFC or DFC. The primary variable is the change ...

Brain networks can be defined and explored through their connectivity. Here, we analyzed the relationship between structural connectivity (SC) across 2,514 regions that cover entire brain brainstem, dynamic functional (DFC). To do so, focused on a combination of two metrics: first assesses degree SC-DFC similarity -i.e. extent to which correlations explained by pathways-; second is intrinsic va...

The main objective of this research is to analyze the bifurcation phenomenon in Internet congestion model for Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) with Random Early Detection (RED). This problem can be divided to many categories considering different viewpoints. Different approaches of modeling (continuous and discrete models) and various system structures (control in end node or routers) are so...

a t t e r n T h e o r e t i c L e a r n i n g Abstract The goal of learning from sample data is to extract a concept that captures the underlying pattern while still representing it in a way useful to the investigator. A new approach based on function decomposition in the Pattern Theory framework is presented here. The objective of this extended abstract is threefold. The rst is to provide an o...
