Transcription of the mouse parathyroid hormone (PTH)/PTH-related peptide (PTHrP) receptor (PTHR) gene is controlled by promoters P1 and P2. We performed transcript-specific in situ hybridization and found that P2 is the predominant promoter controlling PTHR gene expression in bone and cartilage. Treatment with 1alpha, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (D3) in vivo specifically downregulated P2-specific tr...

Coupling of thalamocortical networks through synchronous oscillations at gamma frequencies (30-80 Hz) has been suggested as a mechanism for binding of auditory sensory information into an object representation, which then becomes accessible for perception and cognition. This study investigated whether contralateral noise interferes with this step of central auditory processing. Neuromagnetic 40...

Objectives: Children’s auditory event-related potentials (ERPs) are dominated by the P1 and N2 peaks, while the N1 wave emerges between 3 and 4 years of age. The neural substrates and the behavioral correlates of the protracted N1 maturation, as well as of the 10-year long predominance of the N2 are unclear. The present study utilized high-resolution electroencephalography to study the maturati...

Objective: Migraine and tension-type headache (TTH) are the most common primary headaches. It was aimed to obtain information about pathophysiology of these headaches by performing visual evoked potentials (VEPs) patients with migraine TTH. Material Methods: Healthy individuals, episodic migraine, TTH were included in this prospective study. Pattern reversal flash VEPs performed all participant...

The master differential equations in the external square momentum p2 for the master integrals of the two-loop sunrise graph, in n-continuous dimensions and for arbitrary values of the internal masses, are derived. The equations are then used for working out the values at p2 = 0 and the expansions in p2 at p2 = 0, in (n− 4) at n → 4 limit and in 1/p2 for large values of p2. ——————————PACS 11.10....

We determine the linear complexity of a family of p2-periodic binary threshold sequences derived fromFermat quotientsmodulo an odd prime p, where p satisfies 2p−1 ≡ 1 (mod p2). The linear complexity equals p2 − p or p2 − 1, depending whether p ≡ 1 or 3 (mod 4). Our research extends the results from previous work on the linear complexity of the corresponding binary threshold sequences when 2 is ...

We consider the Bernoulli first-passage percolation on Z (d ≥ 2). That is, the edge passage time is taken independently to be 1 with probability 1− p and 0 otherwise. Let μ(p) be the time constant. We prove in this paper that μ(p1)− μ(p2) ≥ μ(p2) 1− p2 (p2 − p1) for all 0 ≤ p1 < p2 < 1 by using Russo’s formula. AMS classification: 60K 35. 82B 43.

in excess of the sum of the rates in the separate beams. The nature of the dependence of enhancement on far-red and short-wave illuminations, i.e., the nature of the functions E (II, I,) and D (Ii, I'), is of interest, on the one hand, for choosing optimum illuminations for subsequent studies and, on the other hand, for clarifying the essential nature an(d mechanism of the phenomenon. In previo...

Previously, we demonstrated that nucleotides released upon mechanical injury to corneal epithelium activate purinergic (P2) receptors resulting in mobilization of a Ca(2+) wave. However, the tissue is extensively innervated and communication between epithelium and neurons is critical and not well understood. Therefore, we developed a co-culture of primary trigeminal neurons and human corneal li...

P2 is a new and exciting system that permits declarative implementations of overlay networks. The recently published work cites reasonable implementations and performance for two protocols, Chord and Narada. Our work evaluates P2 through an implementation of a third protocol, the Paxos consensus protocol. P2’s declarative language Overlog, admitted a smooth and readable implementation of the Pa...
