A lthough some have portrayed the current feral and abandoned cat trap-neuter-release (TNR) controversy as pitting cat haters against cat lovers, this is not the case. Those opposing TNR and the proliferation of free-roaming cats consider domestic cats to be important and valuable companion animals to the pet-owning public and their families. What opponents of TNR object to are cats in the wron...

this study was aimed to detect anti-toxoplasma gondii antibodies in cats infected with rh strain of t. gondii by using an immunoblotting method. for this, cats were experimentally infected using tachyzoites harvested from vero cell cultures. tachyzoites were then lysed and transferred to polyacrylamide gels followed by blotting to pvdf membranes. an immunoblotting was performed using these memb...

objective cerebrospinal fluid (csf), its secretion, circulation and absorption have been the subject of recent researches. there is a general agreement that the main site of csf secretion is in the choroids plexus. however, the main absorption site is controversial. some believe that arachnoid granulations are the principle sites of csf absorption. in this study, different locations of csf abso...

In this paper‎, ‎we give the notions of crossed polymodule and cat$^1$-polygroup‎ ‎as a generalization of Loday's definition‎. ‎Then‎, ‎we define the pullback cat$^1$-polygroup and we obtain some results in this respect‎. ‎Specially‎, ‎we prove that by a pullback cat$^1$-polygroup we can obtain a cat$^1$-group‎.

If you were to describe what you see in the left part of Figure 1, you would most probably say that you see a white triangle on top of the three black disks. However, strictly speaking, only three segments of black circles (pac-men) are shown. The perception of the so-called Kanizsa triangle [1] is a very interesting phenomenon of the workings of our visual system (as well as that of other spec...

Bicat is the tricategory of bicategories, homomorphisms, pseudonatural transformations, and modifications. Gray is the subtricategory of 2-categories, 2functors, pseudonatural transformations, and modifications. We show that these two tricategories are not triequivalent. 1. Background. Weakening the notion of 2-category by replacing all equations between 1-cells by suitably coherent isomorphism...

The outputs of a trained neural network contain much richer information than just a one-hot classifier. For example, a neural network might give an image of a dog the probability of one in a million of being a cat but it is still much larger than the probability of being a car. To reveal the hidden structure in them, we apply two unsupervised learning algorithms, PCA and ICA, to the outputs of ...

An ongoing debate concerns whether spoken word recognition happens in an incremental or continuous manner (Marslen-Wilson & Zwitserlood, 1989; McClelland & Elman, 1986). In the current study, participants (31 adults and 49 infants aged 24-30months) were presented with four images while they heard a sentence like “Look at the cat”. Among the images was one object that rhymed with the spoken word...
