The Relation between one-dimensional Persistence and Multidimensional Persistence
… the relationship between multidimensional persistence and one dimensional persistence. Second, we attempt to classify the module by a certain linear map obtained by taking a free resolution of the multipersistence module. In both cases, we examine the pro’s and con’s of the approach by …

Personhood, Persistence, and Constitution
… provides the most suitable account of a person’s persistence. This is in accordance with Derek Parfit’s claim that what’s important in cases of survival is not personal identity, but psychological continuity. The essay focuses on a criticism raised by Marya Schechtman. She argues that Parfit’s …

Cytokine Dysregulation Promotes HPV Persistence
… the cervical mucosa has been implicated in HPV persistence. The switch from a predominantly Type 1 cytokine response to a predominantly Type 2 cytokine response is well-documented in advanced cervical lesions and cervical cancer samples. The cause of the cytokine imbalance in some individuals in …

Population dynamics of bacterial persistence
… under identical environments. Bacterial persistence is a prime example of such phenotypic heterogeneity, whereby a population survives under an antibiotic attack, by keeping a fraction of population in a drug tolerant state, the persister state. Specifically, persister cells grow more …

Exploiting persistence in CASE technology
… thesis demonstrates the benefits of orthogonal persistence for Computer-Aided Software Engineering by describing an initial design environment and its subsequent extension to include support for multiple co-existing models.

Annotation persistence over dynamic documents
… This study looks at one of them, annotation persistence over dynamic documents. With the development of annotation software, users now have the opportunity to annotate documents which they don't own, or to which they don't have write permission. In annotation software, annotations are …

Persistence of response variation and repetition
… multiple chained schedule was used to assess the persistence of fixed and variable response sequences. In one terminal link, a single 4-peck response sequence produced food (Repeat) and in the other terminal link a 4-peck response sequence produced food only if it had been occurring infrequently …

Cultural Persistence and Plains Cree Identity
… this phenomenon is termed "cultural persistence" or "cultural traditionalism". While considerable attention has been given to development of theories about culture change, including theories concerning acculturative change (change processes between cultures in contact) , comparatively …

Hydrodynamic controls on multiple tidal inlet persistence
The importance of the persistence of multiple inlets in coastal systems is fundamental for issues such as water quality, navigability, and beach/barrier stability. In long embayments, having extended residence times, the stability of multiple inlets can be important for more efficient flushing and …

On the representation theory of persistence modules
… we study representation theoretic aspects of persistence modules. The first subject is an investigation of the spectrum of the category of vector space representations of a totally ordered set $T$: We show the existence of and determine the spectrum of this category in the sense of Krause and …

Enhancement of Hiv Persistence By Adipose Tissue
<p>A major challenge for HIV eradication is the persistence of cellular and anatomic viral reservoirs. The primary cellular reservoirs for HIV, memory CD4 T cells and macrophages, traffic into various tissues where most viral replication occurs, or in the case of virally-suppressed …
