The Argument Dependency Model

2015

This chapter summarizes the architecture of the extended Argument Dependency Model (eADM), a model of language comprehension that aspires toward neurobiological plausibility. It combines design principles from neurobiology with insights on cross-linguistic diversity. Like other current models, the eADM posits that auditory language processing proceeds along two distinct streams in the brain emanating from auditory cortex: the antero-ventral and postero-dorsal streams. Both streams are organized hierarchically and information processing takes place in a cascaded fashion. Each stream has functionally unified computational properties congruent with its role in primate audition. While the dorsa…

Flow properties and hydrodynamic interactions of rigid spherical microswimmers.

2017

We analyze a minimal model for a rigid spherical microswimmer and explore the consequences of its extended surface on the interplay between its self-propulsion and flow properties. The model is the first order representation of microswimmers, such as bacteria and algae, with rigid bodies and flexible propelling appendages. The flow field of such a microswimmer at finite distances significantly differs from that of a point-force (Stokeslet) dipole. For a suspension of microswimmers, we derive the grand mobility matrix that connects the motion of an individual swimmer to the active and passive forces and torques acting on all the swimmers. Our investigation of the mobility tensors reveals tha…

Shelf life assessment of industrial durum wheat bread as a function of packaging system

2017

This study compared the effect of different packaging systems on industrial durum wheat bread shelf-life, with regard to thermoformed packaging (TF) and flow-packaging (FP). Two TFs having different thickness and one FP were compared by assessing physico-chemical and sensorial properties and volatile compounds of sliced bread during 90 days of storage. Texture, aw and bread moisture varied according to a first-order kinetic model, with FP samples ageing faster than TFs. Sensorial features such as consistency, stale odor, and sour odor, increased their intensity during storage. Furans decreased, whereas hexanal increased. The Principal Component Analysis of the whole dataset pointed out that…

Extending the star order to Rickart rings

2015

Star partial order was initially introduced for semigroups and rings with (proper) involution. In particular, this order has recently been studied on Rickart *-rings. It is known that the star order in such rings can be characterized by conditions not involving involution explicitly. Owing to these characterizations, the order can be extended to certain special Rickart rings named strong in the paper; this extension is the objective of the paper. The corresponding order structure of strong Rickart rings is studied more thoroughly. In particular, the most significant lattice properties of star-ordered Rickart *-rings are successfully transferred to strong Rickart rings; also several new resu…

Weak associativity and restricted rotation

2009

A restricted rotation induced by a weak associative law is introduced. The corresponding equivalence relation is identical to the Glivenko congruence on Tamari lattices, i.e. lattices of binary trees endowed by the well-known rotation operation.

Two Questions of L. A. Shemetkov on Critical Groups

1996

Throughout the paper we consider only finite groups. Let X be a class of groups. A group G is called s-critical for X , or simply X-critical, if G is not in X but all proper subgroups of G are in X. w Ž .x Ž . Following Doerk and Hawkes 3, VII, 6.1 , we denote Crit X the class s of all X-critical groups. Knowledge of the structure of the groups in Ž . Crit X for a class of groups X can often help one to obtain detailed s information for the structure of the groups belonging to X. Ž w Ž .x. O. J. Schmidt see 5, III, 5.2 studied the N-critical groups, where N is the formation of the nilpotent groups. These groups are also called w x Schmidt groups. In 2 , answering to a question posed by Shem…

Sigma-fragmentability and the property SLD in C(K) spaces

2009

Abstract We characterize two topological properties in Banach spaces of type C ( K ) , namely, being σ-fragmented by the norm metric and having a countable cover by sets of small local norm-diameter (briefly, the property norm-SLD). We apply our results to deduce that C p ( K ) is σ-fragmented by the norm metric when K belongs to a certain class of Rosenthal compacta as well as to characterize the property norm-SLD in C p ( K ) in case K is scattered.

On extremal intersection numbers of a block design

1982

K.N. Majumdar has shown that for a 2-(v, k, @l) design D there are three numbers @a, @t, and @S such that each intersection number of D is not greater than @S and not less than max{@a, @t}. In this paper we investigate designs having one of these 'extremal' intersection numbers. Quasisymmetric designs with at least one extremal intersection number are characterized. Furthermore, we show that a smooth design D having the intersection number @S or @a>0 is isomorphic to the system of points and hyperplanes of a finite projective space. Using this theorem, we can characterize all smooth strongly resolvable designs.
