    A reciprocity formula from abelian BF and Turaev–Viro theories

    No full text
    AbstractIn this article we show that the use of Deligne–Beilinson cohomology in the context of the U(1) BF theory on a closed 3-manifold M yields a discrete ZN BF theory whose partition function is an abelian TV invariant of M. By comparing the expectation values of the U(1) and ZN holonomies in both BF theories we obtain a reciprocity formula

    Risk factors for incidence and persistence of disability in chronic major depression and alcohol use disorders: longitudinal analyses of a population-based study

    No full text
    BackgroundMajor depression and alcohol use disorders are risk factors for incidence of disability. However, it is still unclear whether a chronic course of these health conditions is also prospectively associated with incidence of disability. The aim of the present study was, first, to confirm whether chronic major depression (MD) and alcohol use disorders (AUD) are, respectively, risk factors for persistence and incidence of disability in the general population; and then to analyze the role of help-seeking behavior in the course of disability among respondents with chronic MD and chronic AUD. MethodData from two assessments in the National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions were analyzed. Disability was measured by eight domains of the Short Form 12 Health Survey version 2 (SF-12). Generalized estimating equations and logistic regression models were run to estimate risk factors for persistence and incidence of disability, respectively. ResultsAnalyses conducted on data from the US general population showed that chronic MD was the strongest risk factor for incidence and persistence of disability in the social functioning, emotional role and mental health domains. Chronic AUD were risk factors for incidence and persistence of disability in the vitality, social functioning, and emotional role domains. Within the group of chronic MD, physical comorbidity and help-seeking were associated with persistent disability in most of the SF-12 domains. Help-seeking behavior was also associated with incidence of problems in the mental health domain for the depression group. Regarding the AUD group, comorbidity with physical health problems was a strong risk factor for persistence of disability in all SF-12 domains. Help-seeking behavior was not related to either persistence or incidence of disability in the chronic alcohol group. ConclusionsChronic MD and chronic AUD are independent risk factors for persistence and incidence of disability in the US general population. People with chronic MD seek help for their problems when they experience persistent disability, whereas people with chronic AUD might not seek any help even if they are suffering from persistent disability.<br/

    <p>(A) Bursting responses of one representative BF neuron to S-Large and S-Small onset. Individual trials in raster plots were aligned to sound onset and sorted by RT (blue). (B) Population PSTH (mean ± sem) for BF bursting neurons (<i>n</i> = 144) showed stronger bursting to S-Large than to S-Small. The mean RTs for the corresponding trials were indicated in the inset (mean ± std, <i>n</i> = 40 sessions). (C) Scatter plot of the mean bursting amplitude for each BF bursting neuron in S-Large versus S-Small trials from one session. Each dot represents one BF bursting neuron (<i>n</i> = 144), with red dots representing neurons recorded during the first three sessions after reversal (<i>n</i> = 14). (D) Correlation between BF bursting amplitude modulation and mean RT modulation in one session, each calculated as a ratio between S-Large and S-Small trials. Results plotted separately for individual BF bursting neurons (gray), as well as for the entire bursting population per session during the first three reversal sessions (red) or afterwards (blue). Between S-Large and S-Small trials in a session, BF bursting strength was strongly correlated with the modulation of mean RT.</p

    Maximum likelihood tree at BF.

    No full text
    Phylogenetic analysis of BF alleles recovered from S. haematobium samples in Oluji/Oke Igbo, Ondo state and Kachi, Jigawa state in Nigeria were compared against reference sequences (S.m* = S. mansoni, S.ma* = S. mattheei, S.c* = S. curassoni and S. bovis; OR574883-OR574888). For samples that were heterozygous, only non- S.haematobium alleles are shown in the tree. Hence, for sample OD14, only the S. curassoni allele is depicted for the Sh x Sc alleles present at BF. Likewise, for OD2,6,8–13, 15–16, and J15, only the S. bovis allele is depicted for the Sh x Sb alleles present at BF. All other samples were homozygous for S. haematobium alleles at BF.</p

    An early history of the Gestalt factors of organisation

    No full text
    Wertheimer's (1923, Psychologische Forschung 4 301 - 350) idea that the perceptual world is articulated according to factors of organisation is widely acknowledged as one of the most original contributions of Gestalt psychology and stands as a milestone in the history of vision research. An inquiry focused on the forerunners of some of Wertheimer's factors of perceptual organisation is documented here. In fact, in 1900 Schumann described grouping by proximity and by vertical symmetry, and in 1903 G E Müller identified the factors of sameness/similarity and contour. Other authors contributed to the early description of these factors, such as Rubin, who in 1922 originally illustrated grouping by similarity. Even though Wertheimer himself granted these authors due recognition, later psychologists have paid little attention to their contributions. Some possible reasons for this negligence are briefly discussed

    THE INFRARED SPECTRA OF BF3_3 CATION AND BF2_2OH CATION TRAPPED IN SOLID NEON

    Author Institution: Optical Technology Division, National Institute of Standards and Technology, Gaithersburg, MD 20899-8441New, more detailed studies of the photoionization and Penning ionization of BF3_3 trapped in solid neon have confirmed the earlier{} infrared spectroscopic identification of BF2_2 and BF2_2 cation and have yielded a revised assignment for the infrared absorptions of BF3{_3} cation. The position of the absorption attributed to ν\nu3_3 of that molecule is consistent with the distortion of the ground-state cation from D3h_{3h} symmetry because of strong vibronic interaction between levels of the \~{B} 2^2E^{\prime} state and E^{\prime} levels of the \~{X} 2^2A2_2^{\prime} ground state, as predicted by Haller and co-workers.{ppel, L.~S.~Cederbaum, W.~von~Niessen, and G.~Bieri, J.~Chem.~Phys. 78, 1359 (1983).}} The facile reaction of BF3_3 with traces of H2_2O desorbed from the walls of the vacuum system leads to the stabilization of sufficient BF2_2OH for the identification of two vibrational fundamentals of BF2_2OH cation

    The category {\bf Rel}({\bf Nom})

    No full text
    The category Rel(C){\rm Rel}(\mathcal{C}) may be formed for any category C\mathcal{C} with finite limits using the same objects as C\mathcal{C} but whose morphisms from XX to YY are binary relations in C\mathcal{C}, that is, subobjects of X×YX\times Y. In this paper, concerning the topos Nom{\bf Nom}, we study the category Rel(Nom){\bf Rel}({\bf Nom}). In this category, we define and investigate certain morphisms, such as deterministic morphisms. Then, stochastic mappings between nominal sets are defined by exploiting the underlying relation of functions between nominal sets. This allows one to reinterpret concepts and earlier results in terms of morphisms
