In response to a trend by relational and intersubjective analysts of replacing the centrality of repression with dissociation in the clinical model of psychoanalysis, I discuss the importance of both dissociation and repression in articulating the emotions, pathos, joy, and work—in other words, the “heart and soul”—of ... |
We present a theoretical analysis of galaxy-galaxy lensing in the context of halo models with CDM motivated dark matter profiles. The model enables us to separate between the central galactic and noncentral group/cluster contributions. We apply the model to the recent SDSS measurements with known redshifts and luminosi... |
Understanding how chemical energy is converted into directed movement is a fundamental problem in biology. In higher organisms this is accomplished through the hydrolysis of ATP by three families of motor proteins: myosin, dynein and kinesin. The most abundant of these is myosin, which operates against actin and plays ... |
Many traditional concept factorization methods employ single graph to approximate the manifold structure of data. Therefore, they cannot capture the underlying geometric structure hidden in data effectively. In this paper, we propose a novel method, called Multiple graph regularized Concept Factorization with Adaptive ... |
Background:Pediatric patients with heart disease are often treated with high doses of diuretics, which can lead to hypochloremic metabolic alkalosis. There are no data in children regarding the efficacy and safety of acetazolamide to treat hypochloremic metabolic alkalosis. Methods:Patients from January 2004 to June 20... |
A large amount of biomedical information is available to researchers today, and it is continuously increasing.

Seasonal and spatial variation in the genotypic richness of 3480 Escherichia coli isolates obtained from the Yeongsan River basin in South Korea was investigated by using the horizontal fluorophore-enhanced rep-PCR (HFERP) DNA fingerprinting technique. The relationship between 60 E. coli isolates from each of 58 freshw... |
Airway smooth muscle (ASM) is able to generate maximal force under static conditions, and this isometric force can be maintained over a large length range due to length adaptation. The increased force at short muscle length could lead to excessive narrowing of the airways. Prolonged exposure of ASM to submaximal stimul... |
We have systematically investigated the growth behavior and stability of small stoichiometric (TiO2)n (n = 1–10) clusters as well as their structural, electronic and magnetic properties by using the first-principles plane wave pseudopotential method within density functional theory. In order to find out the ground stat... |
In this paper, a new method based on SBR method is proposed to calculate the electromagnetic scattering problem of electrically large target. In traditional SBR method, the split size is usually less than 0.4 wavelength to ensure the accuracy. In this paper, the split size which could describe the shape of the target i... |
It is a universal phenomenon that the inputs of a real stochastic process are disturbed. However, this phenomenon is often ignored when stochastic port-Hamiltonian system (SPHS) is used for modeling, in which only the disturbance on the states is considered. For this reason, an extension of SPHS, named input-disturbed ... |
