The stability of neuronal networks is thought to depend on synaptic transmission which provides activity-dependent maintenance signals for both synapses and neurons. Here, we tested the relationship between presynaptic secretion and neuronal maintenance using munc18-1-null mutant mice as a model. These mutants have a specific defect in secretion from synaptic and large dense-cored vesicles [Ver...

Chronic diseases are prevalent in ethnic communities. Churches represent a potent resource for targeted health promotion. A faith-based kiosk was developed as an informational tool and placed in four predominantly (>80%) African-American churches. Congregants were surveyed to describe kiosk-use, kiosk-user characteristics, health status, and self-reported behavior changes attributed to the kios...

We are concerned with the compatible gauge reformulation for H(div) equations and the design of fast solvers of the resulting linear algebraic systems as in [5]. We propose an algebraic reformulation of the discrete H(div) equations along with an algebraic multigrid (AMG) technique for the reformulated problem. The reformulation uses discrete Hodge decompositions on co-chains to replace the dis...

In the present paper we construct Virtual Element Spaces that are H(div)-conforming and H(curl)-conforming on general polygonal and polyhedral elements; these spaces can be interpreted as a generalization of well known Finite Elements. We moreover present the basic tools needed to make use of these spaces in the approximation of partial differential equations. Finally, we discuss the constructi...

Context. Worship in Protestant churches in Brazil is very noisy. Thus, this practice may pose a hearing risk. Aims. To evaluate the priests' and worshippers' noise exposure during worship. Settings and design. The analysis was carried out in 5 churches located in the city of São José dos Campos, Brazil. Methods and material. To estimate the worshippers' noise exposure, an author of this study w...
