Abstract:

A phase-sensitive microscopy technique is proposed and demonstrated that employs the momentum correlations inherent in spontaneous parametric downconversion. One photon from a correlated pair is focused onto a microscopic target while the other is measured in the Fourier plane. This provides knowledge of the position and angle of illumination for every photon striking the target, allowing full post-production control of the illumination angle used to form an image. The versatility of this approach is showcased with asymmetric illumination and differential phase contrast imaging without any bea

Abstract Two sets of 97 French and 374 English lexical units identified as lexical blends are examined from a contrastive perspective. It appears that English displays a wider variety of patterns than French does – a larger number of marginal types of lexical input combination, of lexical shortening and of phonological splitting. Striking dissimilarities between the two languages also include an inclination for the pattern of double inner shortening in English and the pattern of left-hand-side inner shortening in French, as well as a preference for semantic and phonological right-headedness in

Abstract:

This article analyzes the contrast as a method to explore opposing ideas, but through the lens of its historical evolution. In Greek philosophy, the Aristotle’s and Plato’s contrast is one of the most striking. Plato supported the existence of the world of Ideas, while Aristotle emphasized the experience of observable reality. This difference between Platonic idealism and Aristotelian realism has profoundly marked Western philosophy, from concepts of knowledge and reality to ethics and politics. Cartesian philosophy insists on mind-body dualism, emphasizing the existence of diametrically oppos

But she also sometimes wrote to intervene in politics, and when she did so, she wrote in a strikingly different manner. The writings she intended as political interventions are stridently opinionated and judgmental; they do not attend to nuances o

Many amacrine cells showed remarkably high contrast gain: Up to 20–35% of the maximum response was evoked by a contrast step of only 1%.

Abstract:

Some specialized aquatic snakes such as Natrix tessellata strike at fish by rapidly accelerating their head towards the prey with their mouth opened widely. This strategy is believed to be suboptimal as relatively high drag forces act on the open jaws and, therefore, probably limit strike speed. Moreover, the bow wave in front of the snake's jaws could push prey away from the mouth, thus potentially explaining the relatively low capture success observed in these animals (<20%). Here, we used laser-scan based computational fluid dynamics to test these potential constraints on prey-capture pe

Herein, we tested in a North American viperid snake, the cottonmouth ( Agkistrodon piscivorus (Lacépède, 1789)), the hypothesis that warning displays serve as a reliable signal to potential predators that a snake will strike.

Abstract:

The Inhabited Bridge combines bridge and building, integrating with abundant functions, attracting people to linger on it. It shows a striking contrast to modern bridges which mainly serve fast traffic. Through historical retrospect and analysis of characteristics different from modern bridges, this article points out that the present bridge construction should make progress on four aspects: satisfying slow-traffic people, compounding various lingering functions, creating water-seeing open spaces, and harmonizing with environments.

Abstract:

The paper outlines a specific model of the labor marker shaped in Russia in the "shock" 1990-s. Analysis reveals a striking contrast between its normative and positive characteristics. Though in terms of labor legislation this model seems rigid and sclerotic its actual functioning demonstrates surprisingly high degree of flexibility. This paradox is accounted for by prevalence of informal institutions, norms and practices and by inefficiency of enforcement mechanisms operating in the Russian labor market.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Mice depleted of γδ T cells by monoclonal antibody treatment and infected with Plasmodium berghei ANKA did not develop cerebral malaria (CM). In striking contrast, δ0/0 mice infected with P. berghei developed CM despite their γδ T-cell deficiency. γδ T cells appear to be essential for the pathogenesis of CM in mice having experienced normal ontogeny but not in mice genetically deprived of γδ T cells from the beginning of life.

Abstract:

AbstractAccording to what is now the standard account in the history of psychology, in the 1880s William James and the Danish physician Carl Georg Lange independently developed a strikingly new theory, commonly referred to as the ‘James–Lange’ theory of emotion. In this paper it is argued that this standard account is highly misleading. Lange's views on affect in his (1885) Om Sindsbevægelser were more cautious than James allowed, and not open to criticisms that have often been levelled against the theory of emotion that James claimed he shared with Lange. In fact, Lange argued for distinction

Abstract:

Most healthcare experts agree that there is a growing disparity between the availability of technology and society's ability to pay for it. Because consumerism in healthcare has become so intimidating to many practitioners, they are often compelled to provide the best, most highly advanced technologies available, regardless of their costs, to all patients. As one study notes, “technological advance is the dominant factor in the upward spiral in healthcare costs.” There is general agreement that some controls must be placed on our healthcare expenditures as evidenced by the call for “healthcare

Abstract:

Abstract Central tolerance depends upon Ag-mediated cell death in developing thymocytes. However, the mechanism of induced death is poorly understood. Among the known death-inducing proteins, TNF was previously found to be constitutively expressed in the thymus. The role of TNF in thymocyte negative selection was therefore investigated using TNF receptor (TNFR)-deficient mice containing a TCR transgene. TNFR-deficient mice displayed aberrant negative selection in two models: an in vitro system in which APC are cultured with thymocytes, and a popular in vivo system in which mice are treated wit

Abstract:

Ukraine defied expectations by withstanding a full-scale Russian invasion in 2022, demonstrating the resilience of both local and national institutions. This was a striking contrast with 2014, when Russia seized Crimea and backed separatist revolts in the east of Ukraine, and the Ukrainian response had been weak and divided. Since then, Ukraine has strengthened its institutions by building political legitimacy and the capacity of its armed forces, cultivating national unity, and obtaining more international support.

Abstract:

We consider risk-sensitive generalizations of Nash and correlated equilibria in noncooperative games. We prove that, except for a class of degenerate games, unless a two-player game has a pure Nash equilibrium, it does not have a risk-sensitive Nash equilibrium. We also show that every game has a risk-sensitive correlated equilibrium. The striking contrast between these existence results is due to the different sources of randomization in Nash (private randomization) and correlated equilibria (third-party randomization).

Abstract:

An internal reconstruction of Hungarian based mostly on the morphophonemic alternations of the modern language yields dramatically different results from those obtained from a purely synchronic approach to the same data. This article presents such a reconstruction and argues that the striking contrast between the forms and processes it entails and those favored by a synchronic analysis demonstrates the need to give performance (parole) at least as much consideration as competence (langue) in the study of language history.
