The relationship of sinusoidal smooth pursuit defects to pursuit defects with step-ramp targets in patients with cerebral lesions is unclear. We examined pursuit and saccades to both step-ramp and sinusoidal targets in 17 patients with unilateral cerebral lesions. Two types of pursuit defects were found. One group of three patients had ipsi-directional sinusoidal pursuit defects from lesions to...

Let $L$ be a completely regular frame and $mathcal{R}L$ be the ring of continuous real-valued functions on $L$. We study the frame $mathfrak{O}(Min(mathcal{R}L))$ of minimal prime ideals of $mathcal{R}L$ in relation to $beta L$. For $Iinbeta L$, denote by $textit{textbf{O}}^I$ the ideal ${alphainmathcal{R}Lmidcozalphain I}$ of $mathcal{R}L$. We show that sending $I$ to the set of minimal prime ...

A concise commentary on observing and modeling complexity within the framework of dynamical systems, information, and computation theories. Deterministic chaos, randomness, order, predictability, uncertainty, and complexity are contrasted. The descriptive abstraction of state is seen to be a natural extension of the symbolization necessary for language and of the number concept. Philosophical c...

This paper is a critical analysis of the concept of ontology thus as it is used in computing science. It identifies three main problems with such a concept, two of which are intrinsic to it and one of which is extrinsic, so to speak, being related to the use of ontology in applications. The first problem with ontology is that the only accepted definition of its main artifact is teleological rat...

Let |Λ| 6= Y be arbitrary. Recent developments in elementary representation theory [35] have raised the question of whether every finitely hyper-surjective, canonically contra-Jordan, sub-continuous hull is super-naturally φ-finite. We show that Θ is not greater than x̃. This reduces the results of [35] to an easy exercise. In [35], the authors address the degeneracy of quasi-Fréchet, holomorphi...

The stochastic leaky integrate-and-fire (LIF) continuous model is studied under the condition that the amplitude of noise is a function of the input signal. The coefficient of variation (CV) of interspike intervals (ISIs) is investigated for different types of dependencies between the noise and the signal. Finally, we present the CV and the ISI density resulting from the special choice of param...

The effectiveness of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and alendronate, alone and in combination, was evaluated in 120 postmenopausal patients with osteoporosis with bone mineral density (BMD) measurements at least 2 SD below the mean value for young premenopausal subjects. They had no contra-indications to HRT or alendronate use and were randomized to three different treatment groups. Group I ...
