An acute increase in tubular fluid flow rate in the microperfused cortical collecting duct (CCD), associated with a approximately 20% increase in tubular diameter, leads to an increase in intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i)in both principal and intercalated cells (Woda CB, Leite M Jr, Rohatgi R, and Satlin LM. Am J Physiol Renal Physiol 283: F437-F446, 2002). The apical cilium present in...

JOHNSON, J. D. AND M. S. GAZZANIGA. Reversal behavior in split-brain monkeys. PHYSIOL. BEHAV. 6 (6) 707--709, 1971.Using split-brain monkeys, reversal behavior was observed under two conditions. In the first both hemispheres viewed the discrimination cues. Previous to this one hemisphere had been taught to respond to one cue and the other hemisphere had learned the opposite response. The task w...

Two split-brain patients who differ in their right hemisphere language capacity were tested on a variety of simple cognitive tasks. Both isolated right hemispheres performed poorly on most tests. The results suggest that the presence of language in the right hemisphere, a brain system that ordinarily does not possess such competence, need not necessarily confer the full complement of cognitive ...

The effects of emotionality and length on lateralized lexical decision of abstract nouns were investigated in 41 normal and three commissurotomized subjects. Emotionality had the same effect in both visual fields: Emotional words were responded to more accurately than neutral words. Length had different effects in the two visual fields: The accuracy of lexical decisions in the left visual field...

We used the Fsp technique to quantify the influence of changing stages of consciousness on the signal-to-noise ratio of the middle latency response (MLR). The MLR and polysomnographic activity were obtained from 10 subjects during a continuous 6-hour period. The Fsp statistic was applied to the MLR data in order to determine the number of scores above a specified criterion in each stage of cons...

Flow accumulation algorithms (FAAs) predict the cumulative upstream drainage but each FAA generates a different map and this uncertainty still remains unsolved. This study makes advances in flow path research by testing 8 FAAs and analyzing the uncertainties of 15 simulations. The DR2-2013 © SAGAv1.0 hydrological software is presented in a study carried out for two catchment lakes (NE Spain) ov...

This work deals with the numerical modeling of spillage and debris floods as Newtonian viscoplastic Bingham flows free surface using mixed stabilized finite elements. The main objective is determination location flow. A velocity/pressure element formulation used Orthogonal Subgrid Scale stabilization (OSS) Split (Split-OSS) techniques enable equal order interpolation for velocity pressure. doub...

the set of all non-increasing non-negative integer sequences $pi=(d_1‎, ‎d_2,ldots,d_n)$ is denoted by $ns_n$‎. ‎a sequence $piin ns_{n}$ is said to be graphic if it is the degree sequence of a simple graph $g$ on $n$ vertices‎, ‎and such a graph $g$ is called a realization of $pi$‎. ‎the set of all graphic sequences in $ns_{n}$ is denoted by $gs_{n}$‎. ‎the complete product split graph on $l‎ ...
