'Philip E. Bourne'] Structural classifications of proteins assume the existence of the fold, which is an intrinsic equivalence class of protein domains. Here, we test in which conditions such an equivalence class is compatible with objective similarity measures. We base our analysis on the transitive property of the…

Measures of psychological attributes, such as motivation, typically involve rating scales, assuming that an attribute can be ordered. If an attribute has an ordinal structure, its levels stand in ordinal relations to one another, and these must be transitive. We tested if transitivity is preserved when people compare…

Several experimental studies have observed substantial violations of transitivity for decisions between risky lotteries over monetary outcomes. The goal of our experiment is to test whether these violations also affect the evaluation of health states. A particular feature of our experimental design is that it takes…

The intransitive cycle of superiority is characterized by such binary relations between A, B, and C that A is superior to B, B is superior to C, and C is superior to A (i.e., A>B>C>A—in contrast with transitive relations A>B>C). The first part of the article presents a brief review of studies of intransitive cycles in…

Ergativity marks subject arguments as agents of a transitive event and thereby signals verbal transitivity and influences language comprehension. We report here on an event-related brain potentials (ERP) study in Hindi, in which we investigated this interconnection to ascertain whether the ergative case as a processing…

A CR-dynamical system is a pair (X, G), where X is a compact metric space and G is a closed relation (CR) on X. In this paper, we introduce a new type of transitive point and transitivity in CR-dynamical systems. We develop a new tool called transitivity trees, which we use to determine the relationship between the…

'Maria Lebedeva'] Measuring psychological attributes, such as motivation, typically involves rating scales, assuming that an attribute can be ordered, and that ratings represent this order. Previously, only the first assumption had been tested, albeit limited. First, we checked the ordinal structure of motivation…

In recent years there has been interest in the relationship between intransitivity and the presence of true (Type II) contextuality (contextuality with context independent marginals). The latter has been considered to be a sine qua non of quantum mechanics, although it has been observed in experiments on human decision…

The ventromedial frontal lobes (VMF) are important for decision-making, but the precise causal role of the VMF in the decision process has not yet fully been established. Previous studies have suggested that individuals with VMF damage violate transitivity, a hallmark axiom of rational decisions. However, these prior…

Let (X, f) be a topological dynamical system and F be a Furstenberg family (a collection of subsets of N with hereditary upward property). A point x ∈ X is called an F-transitive point if for every non-empty open subset U of X the entering time set of x into U, {n ∈ N : f n (x) ∈ U}, is in F; the system (X, f) is…

'Yeong-Cherng Liang'] One of the goals of science is to understand the relation between a whole and its parts, as exemplified by the problem of certifying the entanglement of a system from the knowledge of its reduced states. Here, we focus on a different but related question: can a collection of marginal information…

The graph transitivity measures the probability that adjacent vertices in a network are interconnected, thus revealing the existence of tightly connected neighborhoods playing a role in information and pathogen circulation. The graph transitivity is usually computed for dichotomized networks, therefore focusing on…

where N is the set of positive integers. We identify a singleton with its unique element, writing N(x, B), for example, for N({x}, B). We call the system topologically transitive when for every opene (= open and nonempty) set U S∞ n=1 f n (U) is dense in X, or, equivalently if for every opene pair U, V ⊂ X, the set of…

The reduction of multi-allelic polymorphisms to variants with fewer alleles, two in the limit, is addressed. The Hardy-Weinberg law is shown to be transitive in the sense that a multi-allelic polymorphism that is in equilibrium will retain its equilibrium status if any allele together with its corresponding genotypes…

A topological dynamical system (X, f) is said to be multi-transitive if for every n ∈ N the system (X n , f × f 2 × ··· × f n ) is transitive. We introduce the concept of multi-transitivity with respect to a vector and show that multi-transitivity can be characterized by the hitting time sets of open sets, answering a…

The review covers transitions M0 ↔ M0 in all neutral-meson systems that can show these weak-interaction transitions, M0 = K0 , D0 , B0 and Bs. The four systems are ideal laboratories for studying the discrete symmetries T and CPT. The properties of time reversal T are discussed in classical and quantum mechanics. T…

In principle, functional neuroimaging provides uniquely informative data in addressing linguistic questions, because it can indicate distinct processes that are not apparent from behavioral data alone. This could involve adjudicating the source of unacceptability via the different patterns of elicited brain responses…
