Image analysis software is an essential tool used in neuroscience and neural engineering to evaluate changes in neuronal structure following extracellular stimuli. Both manual and automated methods in current use are severely inadequate at detecting and quantifying changes in neuronal morphology when the images analyzed have a low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). This inadequacy derives from the fa...

We present a preliminary list of the avifauna found at Estação Ecológica do Cuniã (ESEC Cuniã) in Porto Velho, northern Rondônia, Brazil. This inventory is based on systematic records obtained by mist-netting and camera trapping non-systematic visual audio collected within study area 2017 2019. The combined dataset includes 135 bi...

The National Islamic Alliance (NIA) has evolved as a leading Shia Kuwaiti political group since the 1980s. NIA participates in electoral politics and cabinets. While its roots go back to activists Kuwait, some of whom were linked Iraq's Da'wa Party end 1960s, it is pragmatic nationalist group. article argues that shifted from being an active opposition 1990s pro-ruling family government 2008. N...

PURPOSE OF THE STUDY The present study examined the characteristics of health disparities grants funded by National Institute on Aging (NIA) from 2000 to 2010. Objectives were (a) to examine longitudinal trends in health disparities-related grants funded by NIA and (b) to identify moderators of these trends. DESIGN AND METHODS Our primary data source was the National Institutes of Health Rese...

BACKGROUND Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is highly accurate for the depiction of both the primary tract of fistula and abscesses, in patients with perianal disease. In addition, MRI can be used to evaluate the activity of fistulas, which is a significant factor for determining the therapeutic strategy. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to determine the usefulness of diffusion-weighted (DW) MRI f...

The schematic CERES method [?] is a recently developed method of cut elimination for proof schemata, that is a sequence of proofs with a recursive construction. Proof schemata can be thought of as a way to circumvent adding an induction rule to the LK-calculus. In this work, we formalize a schematic version of the infinitary pigeonhole principle, which we call the Non-injectivity Assertion sche...

OBJECTIVE We previously reported that genetic variants in SORCS1 increase the risk of AD, that over-expression of SorCS1 reduces γ-secretase activity and Aβ levels, and that SorCS1 suppression increases γ-secretase processing of APP and Aβ levels. We now explored the effect of variation in SORCS1 on memory. METHODS We explored associations between SORCS1-SNPs and memory retention in the NIA-L...

20 In 2011 the National Institute on Aging and Alzheimer’s Association (NIA-AA) created 21 separate diagnostic recommendations for the preclinical, mild cognitive impairment, and 22 dementia stages of Alzheimers disease. Scientific progress in the interim led to an initiative by 23 the NIA-AA to update and unify the 2011 guidelines. This unifying update is labeled a “research 24 framework”, bec...

Many plant viruses depend on aphids and other phloem-feeding insects for transmission within and among host plants. Thus, viruses may promote their own transmission by manipulating plant physiology to attract aphids and increase aphid reproduction. Consistent with this hypothesis, Myzus persicae (green peach aphids) prefer to settle on Nicotiana benthamiana infected with Turnip mosaic virus (Tu...
