Previous studies have shown a modulatory influence of limbic forebrain areas, such as the central nucleus of the amygdala and lateral hypothalamus, on the activity of taste-responsive cells in the nucleus of the solitary tract (NST). The bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BST), which receives gustatory afferent information, also sends descending axons to the NST. The present studies were desi...

The anteroventral region of the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BST) stimulates hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical (HPA) axis responses to acute stress. However, the role of the anterior BST nuclei in chronic drive of the HPA axis has yet to be established. Therefore, this study tests the role of the anteroventral BST in physiological responses to chronic drive, using a chronic variable...

Helical antennas have been popular antenna configurations for various applications for its simple structure [9-10]. This paper describes the study on the best custom shape dielectric loaded helical antenna for Access Point WLAN IEEE 802.11 b/g 2.4 GHz to 2.48 GHz applications. This paper presents the investigation of a Novel helical antenna incorporated with Barium Strontium Titanate (BST). Met...

We propose a general method based on the balanced stochastic truncation (BST) approach for the model reduction of stable linear systems. The new method relies on a recent general inner-outer factorization result and extends the applicability of the BST method to systems with infinite zeros. A computational algorithm with enhanced accuracy for the new BST model reduction approach is presented. T...

Lead-free piezoelectric compositions of the (1-x)Bi0.5(Na0.40K0.10)TiO3-x(Ba0.7Sr0.3)TiO3 system (when x = 0, 0.05, 0.10, 0.15, and 0.20) were fabricated using a solid-state mixed oxide method and sintered between 1,050°C and 1,175°C for 2 h. The effect of (Ba0.7Sr0.3)TiO3 [BST] content on phase, microstructure, and electrical properties was investigated. The optimum sintering temperature was 1...

Beragam bantuan sosial yang didistribusikan oleh pemerintah pada masa pandemi covid-19 menjadi bagian komponen pendapatan rumah tangga kemudian dialokasikan untuk pengeluaran konsumsi, kepada di Indonesia antaranya adalah Bantuan Pangan Non Tunai (BPNT), Sosial (BST), dan Langsung Dana Desa (BLTDD). Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis efek crowding in out dari keragaman BPNT,BST, BLTDD diteri...

The interferon-inducible host restriction factor bone marrow stromal antigen 2 (BST-2/tetherin) blocks the release of HIV-1 and other enveloped viruses. In turn, these viruses have evolved specific antagonists to counteract this host antiviral molecule, such as the HIV-1 protein Vpu. BST-2 is a type II transmembrane protein with an unusual topology consisting of an N-terminal cytoplasmic tail (...

BACKGROUND The clinical relevance of elevated basal serum tryptase (eBST ≥ 11.4 ng/ml) often remains unclear. METHODS BST was assessed in 15,298 patients attending our outpatient clinic. Frequency and severity of anaphylaxis was compared in 900 patients with eBST and 900 patients with normal BST. The prevalence of eBST was evaluated in patients with drug reactions, urticaria, gastrointestinal...

Protein transport through the secretory pathway of eukaryotic cells consists of a series of vesicle budding, targeting, and fusion steps that deliver protein cargo from one membrane-bounded organelle to the next. Proper sorting of secretory proteins requires that cargo molecules be segregated from resident proteins as transport vesicles form. While significant progress had been made in discover...

BACKGROUND The areas of the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BST) with a high density of estrogen receptors are involved in cardiovascular regulation and send axonal projections to the rostroventrolateral medulla (RVLM). We aimed to find the contribution of the RVLM to cardiovascular responses elicited by glutamate microinjection into the BST. METHODS Experiments were done in α-chloralose...
