Faithful chromosome segregation during mitosis is tightly regulated by opposing activities of Aurora B kinase and protein phosphatase-1 (PP1). PP1 function at kinetochores has been linked to SDS22, but the exact localization of SDS22 and how it affects PP1 are controversial. Here, we confirm that SDS22 is required for PP1 activity, but show that SDS22 does not normally localize to kinetochores....

The ventral premotor area (F5) is part of the cortical circuit controlling visuomotor grasp. F5 could influence hand motor function through at least two pathways: corticospinal projections and corticocortical projections to primary motor cortex (M1). We found that stimulation of macaque F5, which by itself evoked little or no detectable corticospinal output, could produce a robust modulation of...

The articles [15], [8], [9], [10], [14], [11], [18], [2], [4], [6], [7], [5], [16], [1], [3], [19], [20], [12], [17], and [13] provide the notation and terminology for this paper. For simplicity, we adopt the following rules: a, b are data-locations, i1, i2, i3 are instruction-locations of SCM, s1, s2 are states of SCM, T is an instruction type of SCM, and k is a natural number. We now state a ...

We introduce a new approach to an enumerative problem closely linked with the geometry of branched coverings, that is, we study the number Hα(i2, i3, . . . ) of ways a given permutation (with cycles described by the partitionα) can be decomposed into a product of exactly i2 2-cycles, i3 3-cycles, etc., with certain minimality and transitivity conditions imposed on the factors. The method is to ...

The present study was undertaken to investigate the sedative, analgesic and clinical effects of xylazine, medetomidine and dexmedetomidine with fentanyl as pre-anaesthetics in water buffaloes and to compare the dose-sparing effect of xylazine, medetomidine and dexmedetomidine on thiopental for induction and isoflurane for maintenance of anaesthesia in water buffaloes. Six male water buffaloes r...

Aims. We present a submm study of the massive hot core G327.3–0.6 that constrains its physical parameters and environment. Methods. The APEX telescope was used to image CO and N2H + emission, to observe lines from other molecules toward a hot and a cold molecular core, and to measure the continuum flux density of the hot core. Results. In the C 18 O J = 3 − 2 line, two clumps were found, one as...

Much of the existing ethnic politics literature suggests that in settings where ethnicity is politically salient, electoral competition encourages rival parties to focus narrowly on mobilizing their respective core ethnic constituents, a strategy that exacerbates ethnic divisions and may heighten the risk of conflict. This article develops an alternative account of campaign strategy that propos...

In an earlier paper in this journal I provided detailed motivation for the constructive and relevant system of Core Logic; explained its main features; and established that, even though Cut is not a rule of the system, nevertheless Cut is admissible for it, and indeed with potential epistemic gain. If Π is a proof of the sequent ∆ : A, and Σ is a proof of the sequent Γ, A : θ, then there is a c...

The Finagle point (Wuffle et al., 1989), the yolk (McKelvey, 1986; Ferejohn et al., 1984) and the epsilon-core (Wooders, 1983; Salant and Goodstein, 1990; Tovey, 2010; Feld and Grofman, 1991) are three solution concepts that have been proposed to predict the outcome of majority voting in the Euclidean spatial model. Relationships among these three concepts are investigated in (Bra̋uninger, 2007)...
