Chronic behavioral stress is a risk factor for depression. To understand chronic stress effects and the mechanism underlying stress-induced emotional changes, various animals model have been developed. We recently reported that mice treated with restraints for 2 h daily for 14 consecutive days (2h-14d or 2h×14d) show lasting depression-like behavior. Restraint provokes emotional stress in the b...

Recent observations have shown that the periphery of the Greenland ice sheet (GrIS) is thinning rapidly and that this thinning is greatest around marine-terminating outlet glaciers. Several theories have been proposed which provide a link between climate and ice thinning. We present surface elevation change (dh/dt) data from NASA’s Program for Arctic Regional Climate Assessment (PARCA) laser al...

In automating an excavation task it is required to deene a nominal trajectory for the motion of the excavator tool, so that its motion can be programmed and controlled. During the motion, the excavating tool (the bucket for instance, in the case of a loader), experiences the excavating forces that must be overcome by the active forces for moving the bucket, in order for the excavation to take p...

I . Effects of feeding liquid milk-substitute to young calves either by nipple-pail or open-bucket o n the rumen by-pass and on the rate of passage were studied. z. Sixteen Holstein calves, aged I week initially, were used in three experiments in which calves were slaughtered after they were given liquids (milk-substituteand water) containingchromic oxide and SrCI, .6H,O as a tracer either by t...

Belowground stormwater treatment devices referred to as Best Management Practices (BMPs) can be persistent sources of Culex quinquefasciatus Say (Diptera: Culicidae) mosquitoes and in urban environments necessitate routine monitoring and insecticide treatment for control. The design of certain structural features of BMPs may discourage mosquito entry and oviposition, potentially reducing the ne...

A 2-level bucket data structure has been shown to perform well in a Dijkstra's algorithm implementation 4, 5]. In this paper we study how the implementation performance depends on the number of bucket levels used. In particular we are interested in the best number of levels to use in practice.

The bucket reactors based wetland system were adopted for the treatment of pulp and paper mill wastewater using two macrophytes namely Typha angustifolia and Canna indica. The study was carried out for the treatment of wastewater collected from primary clarifier overflow (E1) and wastewater after the partial aerobic treatment of primary clarifier overflow (E2). Effectiveness of the two macrophy...

if $g$ is a connected graph with vertex set $v$, then the eccentric connectivity index of $g$, $xi^c(g)$, is defined as $sum_{vin v(g)}deg(v)ecc(v)$ where $deg(v)$ is the degree of a vertex $v$ and $ecc(v)$ is its eccentricity. in this paper we show some convergence in probability and an asymptotic normality based on this index in random bucket recursive trees.

Effective treatment of arterial thoracic outlet syndrome includes early recognition and timely correction, with sufficient decompression of the thoracic outlet. A 56-year-old female suffered recrudescent right upper extremity ischemia due to thromboembolic event, raising suspicion for arterial thoracic outlet syndrome and prompting further imaging studies for confirmation. Decompression of the ...

Sampling methods for square and boll-feeding plant bugs (Hemiptera: Miridae) occurring on cotton, Gossypium hirsutum L., were compared with the intent to assess if one approach was viable for two species occurring from early-season squaring to late bloom in 25 fields located along the coastal cotton growing region of south Texas. Cotton fleaphopper, Pseudatomoscelis seriatus (Reuter), damages s...
