state computation with kinematical gates − Quantum ground Email alerting service here corner of the article or click Receive free email alerts when new articles cite this article-sign up in the box at the top right-hand We develop a computation model for solving Boolean networks that implements wires dynamically through quantum ground-state computation and implements gates kine-matically throug...

In this talk we will discuss to what extent breathing kinematics can be used as a cue to turn-taking behaviour in spontaneous multiparty conversation. We improve on existing accounts by considering all possible transitions between speaker states (silent, speaking, backchanneling) and by not relying on global speaker models. Instead, all features (including breathing range and resting expiratory...

An allograft is often considered an immunologically inert playing field on which host leukocytes assemble and wreak havoc. However, we demonstrate that graft-specific physiologic responses to early injury initiate and promulgate destruction of vascularized grafts. Serial analysis of allografts showed that intragraft expression of the three chemokine ligands for the CXC chemo-kine receptor CXCR3...

Visual thinking plays an important role in scientiic reasoning. Based on the research in automating diverse reasoning tasks about dynamical systems, nonlinear controllers, kine-matic mechanisms, and uid motion, we have identiied a style of visual thinking, imagistic reasoning. Imagistic reasoning organizes computations around image-like, analogue representations so that perceptual and symbolic ...

Cytokines and Rheumatoid Arthritis The term “cytokine” is coined from the combination of “cyto”, a prefix which means cell, and “kine”, which denotes movement. Cytokines all have the following features: 1. They are low-molecular-weight glycoproteins that are not hormones. 2. They have an effect at very small concentrations. 3. Different cytokines can have the same function (redundancy). For exa...

The three Myc proteins, c-Myc, L-Myc and N-Myc, are all basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH)-Zip transcription factors that coordinate cell proliferation, cell cycle progression, cell growth, metabolism, differentiation and tissue remodel ing, as well as a variety of protective checkpoint mechanisms such as growth arrest and apoptosis. Myc proteins form heterodimers with their bHLH-Zip partner Max, tr...

Jet multiplicity distributions in top quark pair (tt) events are measured in pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV with the CMS detector at the LHC using a data set corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 fb −1. The measurement is performed in the dilepton decay channels (e + e − , μ + μ − , and e ± μ ∓). The absolute and normalized differential cross sections for tt produ...

PGD2, a lipid mediator released from mast cells, is known to participate in allergic reactions. However, the mechanism by which PGD2 contributes to such reactions remains unclear. We established a novel experimental model of asthma that permitted direct assessment of the role of PGD2 in airway inflammation. Antigen-sensitized mice were exposed to aerosolized prostaglandin D2 (PGD2) 1 d before c...

Search for supersymmetry in hadronic final states with missing transverse energy using the variables α T and b-quark multiplicity in pp collisions at √ s = 8 TeV Abstract An inclusive search for supersymmetric processes that produce final states with jets and missing transverse energy is performed in pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV. The data sample corresponds to an integrated...
