Abstract The symbiosis of neuronal activities and glucose energy metabolism is reflected in the generation functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) electroencephalography (EEG) signals. However, their association with balance between excitation inhibition (E/I-B), which closely related to glutamate ?-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptor availability (RA) GABA A mGluR5, remains unexplored. This...

Heterotrimeric kinesin-II is a plus end- directed microtubule (MT) motor protein consisting of distinct heterodimerized motor subunits associated with an accessory subunit. To probe the intracellular transport functions of kinesin-II, we microinjected fertilized sea urchin eggs with an anti-kinesin-II monoclonal antibody, and we observed a dramatic inhibition of ciliogenesis at the blastula sta...

A novel hierarchical nanotemplated carbon monolithic rod (NTCM) was prepared using a novel facile nanotemplating approach. The NTCM was obtained using C60-fullerene modified silica gels as hard templates, which were embedded in a phenolic resin containing a metal catalyst for localized graphitization, followed by bulk carbonization, and template and catalyst removal. TEM, SEM, and BET measureme...

Paraoxonase 1 (PON1) is a member of a tandem 3-gene family localized on human chromosome 7q21-22.1 High-density lipoprotein-associated PON12,3 and PON34,5 are synthesized primarily in the liver, whereas PON2 is ubiquitously expressed.1 PON1 was initially characterized and named for its ability to hydrolyze paraoxon, the toxic oxon metabolite of parathion.6 Although Aldridge6 proposed in 1953 th...

We have analysed the side-chain dihedral angles in 2536 residues from I9 protein structures. The distributions of x1 and xz are compared with predictions made OII the basis of simple energy calculations. The x1 distribution is trimodal; the qposition of the side-chain (~rans to Ha), which is rare except in serine, the t position (trams to the amino group), and the g+ position (trans to the carb...

Poly(styrene-co-divinylbenzene) monolithic stationary phases with two different domain sizes were synthesized by a thermally initiated free-radical copolymerization in capillary columns. The morphology was investigated at the meso- and macroscopic level using complementary physical characterization techniques aiming at better understanding the effect of column structure on separation performanc...

Using an automated image analysis system, cross-sections from optic nerves of 17 normal cynomolgus monkeys were examined. The number of nerve fibers, their density, and the distribution of their diameters for whole nerves and for various regions of the nerve cross-section were estimated. The mean total number of fibers in the optic nerve was 1.2 million. The mean diameter of axons was 0.8 micro...

Starch and proteins are major components in the wheat endosperm that affect its end product quality. Between the two textural classes of wheat i.e. hard and soft, starch granules are loosely bound with the lipids and proteins in soft wheat due to higher expression of interfering grain softness proteins. It might have impact on starch granules properties. In this work for the first time the phys...

High signal-to-noise, low-resolution spectra have been obtained for 22 globular clusters (GCs) in NGC 4365. Some of these were selected as probable representatives of an intermediate-age (2–5 Gyr), extremely metal-rich GC subpopulation. The presence of such a subpopulation had been inferred from the unusual optical and near-IR color distributions of GCs in this otherwise typical Virgo elliptica...

This paper investigates rhythmic patterns in 3-cycle repetition disfluency (e.g. We went to the park and1 and2 and3 watched the birds...). Results show a harmonic timing effect: in a slow-speech set of corpus data, the distribution of and2 phases relative to the and1 to and3 interval is trimodal (χ = 20.1, p < .005), with modes approximating low-order harmonic ratios (1/3, 1/2, 2/3). A task-dyn...
