Distinct Regions of Right Temporal Cortex Are Associated with Biological and Human-Agent Motion: Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Neuropsychological Evidence
(Society for Neuroscience, 2013)In human lateral temporal cortex, some regions show specific sensitivity to human motion. Here we examine whether such effects reflect a general biological-nonbiological organizational principle or a process specific to ... -
Distinct Signatures for Coulomb Blockade and Aharonov-Bohm Interference in Electronic Fabry-Perot Interferometers
(American Physical Society, 2009)Two distinct types of magnetoresistance oscillations are observed in two electronic Fabry-Perot interferometers of different sizes in the integer quantum Hall regime. Measuring these oscillations as a function of magnetic ... -
Distinct Spatiotemporal Activity in Principal Neurons of the Mouse Olfactory Bulb in Anesthetized and Awake States
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2013)The acquisition of olfactory information and its early processing in mammals are modulated by brain states through sniffing behavior and neural feedback. We imaged the spatiotemporal pattern of odor-evoked activity in a ... -
Distinct, strict requirements for Gfi-1b in adult bone marrow red cell and platelet generation
(The Rockefeller University Press, 2014)The zinc finger transcriptional repressor Gfi-1b is essential for erythroid and megakaryocytic development in the embryo. Its roles in the maintenance of bone marrow erythropoiesis and thrombopoiesis have not been defined. ... -
Distinctive Encoding Reduces the Jacoby-Whitehouse Illusion
(Psychonomic Society, 2008)We investigated the influence of distinctive encoding on the Jacoby and Whitehouse (1989) illusion. Subjects studied visually presented words that were associated with either an auditory presentation of the same word ... -
Distinctive Neural Mechanisms Supporting Visual Object Individuation and Identification
(MIT Press, 2009)Many everyday activities, such as driving on a busy street, require the encoding of distinctive visual objects from crowded scenes. Given resource limitations of our visual system, one solution to this difficult and ... -
Distinguishing black holes from naked singularities through their accretion disc properties
(IOP Publishing, 2013)We show that, in principle, a slowly evolving gravitationally collapsing perfect fluid cloud can asymptotically settle to a static spherically symmetric equilibrium configuration with a naked singularity at the center. We ... -
Distortion of gravitational-wave packets due to their self-gravity
(American Physical Society, 2007)When a source emits a gravity-wave (GW) pulse over a short period of time, the leading edge of the GW signal is redshifted more than the inner boundary of the pulse. The GW pulse is distorted by the gravitational effect ... -
The Distortion of the Cosmic Microwave Background Spectrum Due to Intergalactic Dust
(American Astronomical Society, 2016)Infrared emission from intergalactic dust might compromise the ability of future experiments to detect subtle spectral distortions in the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) from the early Universe. We provide the first ... -
Distortion of the Luminosity Function of High-redshift Galaxies by Gravitational Lensing
(American Astronomical Society, 2015)The observed properties of high - redshift galaxies depend on the underlying foreground distribution of large - scale structure, which distorts their intrinsic properties via gravitational lensing. We focus on the regime ... -
Distortions of Mind Perception in Psychopathology
(Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2010)It has long been known that psychopathology can influence social perception, but a 2D framework of mind perception provides the opportunity for an integrative understanding of some disorders. We examined the covariation ... -
A distributed cell division counter reveals growth dynamics in the gut microbiota
(Nature Pub. Group, 2015)Microbial population growth is typically measured when cells can be directly observed, or when death is rare. However, neither of these conditions hold for the mammalian gut microbiota, and, therefore, standard approaches ... -
Distributed Colony-Level Algorithm Switching for Robot Swarm Foraging
(Springer-Verlag, 2011-11-15)Swarm robotics utilizes a large number of simple robots to accomplish a task, instead of a single complex robot. Communications constraints often force these systems to be distributed and leaderless, placing restrictions ... -
Distributed Deep Neural Networks Over the Cloud, the Edge and End Devices
(IEEE, 2017-06)We propose distributed deep neural networks (DDNNs) over distributed computing hierarchies, consisting of the cloud, the edge (fog) and end devices. While being able to accommodate inference of a deep neural network (DNN) ... -
Distributed Dynamic Spectrum Allocation for Secondary Users in a Vertical Spectrum Sharing Scenario
(Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST), 2012)In this paper, we study the problem of distributed spectrum allocation under a vertical spectrum sharing scenario in a cognitive radio network. The secondary users share the spectrum licensed to the primary user by observing ... -
Distributed Implementations of Vickrey-Clarke-Groves Mechanisms
(IEEE Computer Society, 2004)Mechanism design (MD) provides a useful method to implement outcomes with desirable properties in systems with self-interested computational agents. One drawback, however, is that computation is implicitly centralized in ... -
A Distributed Morphology Analysis of Present Tense Auxiliaries in Zamudio
(Mendebalde Kultur Alkartea, 2006)We provide an analysis of the morphology of present indicative auxiliary verbs in Zamudio Basque. In doing so we present an illustration of the theory of Distributed Morphology and the post-syntactic rules that obscure a ... -
Distributed Multi-Robot Algorithms for the TERMES 3D Collective Construction System
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2011)The research goal of collective construction is to develop systems in which large numbers of autonomous robots build large-scale structures according to desired specifications. We present algorithms for TERMES, a multi-robot ... -
Distributed quantum computation based on small quantum registers
(American Physical Society, 2007)We describe and analyze an efficient register-based hybrid quantum computation scheme. Our scheme is based on a probabilistic, heralded optical connection among local five-qubit quantum registers. We assume high-fidelity ... -
Distributed Quantum inner product estimation
(ACM, 2022-06-09)As small quantum computers are becoming available on different physical platforms, a benchmarking task known as cross-platform verification has been proposed that aims to estimate the fidelity of states prepared on two ...
