On pliability of del Pezzo fibrations and Cox rings [PDF]
Journal für die reine und angewandte Mathematik (Crelles Journal), 2014 We develop some concrete methods to build Sarkisov links, starting from Mori fibre spaces. This is done by studying low rank Cox rings and their properties. As part of this development, we give an algorithm to construct explicitly the coarse moduli space

Engaging Science, Technology, and Society, 2019 There has been no sustained sociological analysis of a near ubiquitous feature of psychological laboratory experimentation: the task. Yet the task is central in arranging the means by which phenomena are isolated and brought into the experimental ...

Pliability and Approximating Max-CSPs [PDF]
Journal of the ACM, 2023 We identify a sufficient condition, treewidth-pliability , that gives a polynomial-time algorithm for an arbitrarily good approximation of the optimal value in a large class of Max-2-CSPs parameterised by the class of allowed constraint graphs (with arbitrary constraints on an unbounded alphabet). Our result applies

Centromeric chromatin pliability and memory at a human neocentromere [PDF]
The EMBO Journal, 2003 We show that Trichostatin A (TSA)-induced partial histone hyperacetylation causes a unidirectional shift in the position of a previously defined binding domain for the centromere-specific histone H3 homologue CENP-A at a human neocentromere. The shift of approximately 320 kb is fully reversible when TSA is removed, but is accompanied by an apparent ...

The Remarkable Pliability and Promiscuity of Specialized Metabolism [PDF]
Cold Spring Harbor Symposia on Quantitative Biology, 2012 Metabolic pathways are often considered "perfected" or at least predictable as substrates efficiently rearrange into products through the intervention of an optimized enzyme. Moreover, single catalytic steps link up, forming a myriad of metabolic circuits that are often modeled with a high degree of certainty.

Perceptual and Neural Pliability of Odor Objects [PDF]
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2009 A key function of the sense of smell is to guide organisms towards rewards and away from dangers. However, because relatively few volatile chemicals in the environment carry intrinsic biological value, the meaning of an odor often needs to be acquired through learning and experience.

Culture Moderates the Pliability of Ambivalent Attitudes [PDF]
Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology, 2011 Ambivalent attitudes are comprised of conflicting components. In response to this evaluative conflict, North Americans are more likely to change high ambivalent attitudes than low ambivalent attitudes. However, East Asians exhibit greater tolerance for inconsistencies than do North Americans.

Pliability and Viable Systems: Maintaining Value Under Changing Conditions [PDF]
IEEE Systems Journal, 2015 As systems become more complex and have longer lifespans, they will likely encounter contextual variation or be themselves subject to change. Systems need to not only be feasible but viable as well. That is, they need to be able to continue to provide value in spite of any potential exogenous or endogenous changes.

Systems Innovation, Inertia and Pliability: A mathematical exploration with implications for climate change abatement [PDF]
, 2018 This paper develops a stylised mathematical interpretation of innovation and inertia in economic systems, characteristics which feature in economics literature traceable back at least to Schumpeter and other economic theorists of innovation, as well as ...
