This study examined the output of the central nucleus of the inferior colliculus to the medial geniculate body and other parts of the nervous system in the mustached bat (Pteronotus parnellii). Small deposits of anterograde tracers (horseradish peroxidase, [3Hlleucine, Phaseolus uulgaris leucoagglutinin, wheat germ agglutinin conjugated to horseradish peroxidase, or biocytin) were made at physi...

We prove several results of the following type: given finite dimensional normed space V possessing certain geometric property there exists another space X having the same property and such that (1) log dimX = O(log dimV ) and (2) every subspace of X, whose dimension is not “too small,” contains a further wellcomplemented subspace nearly isometric to V . This sheds new light on the structure of ...

The goal was to investigate possible monosynaptic GABAergic projections from the inferior colliculus (IC) to thalamocortical neurons of the medial geniculate body (MGB) in the rat. Although there is little evidence for such a projection in other sensory thalamic nuclei, a GABAergic, ascending auditory projection was reported recently in the cat. In the present study, immunohistochemical and tra...

Selective harvest, such as trophy hunting, can shift the distribution of a quantitative character such as body size. If the targeted character is heritable, then there will be an evolutionary response to selection, and where the trait is not, then any response will be plastic or demographic. Identifying the relative contributions of these different mechanisms is a major challenge in wildlife co...

BACKGROUND Drosophila larvae possess only 21 odorant-receptor neurons (ORNs), whereas adults have 1,300. Does this suggest that the larval olfactory system is built according to a different design than its adult counterpart, or is it just a miniature version thereof? RESULTS By genetically labeling single neurons with FLP-out and MARCM techniques, we analyze the connectivity of the larval olf...

While the isometric mid-thigh pull (IMTP) has been used often in the literature, the effects of familiarization on kinetic variables of the pull has not been determined. We measured performance of two positions of the IMTP over 5 days of familiarization and testing. Subjects were drawn from two populations, experience with weightlifting derivatives (>6 months of regular use) and little experien...

The current research on still image recognition has been very successful, but the study of action for video classes is a challenging topic. In this work, we propose random projection-based human algorithm to address lack depth information in color (RGB frames) that not easily affected by environmental factors such as illumination and ability recognize actions along direction view. A network str...

introduction: the gastrin releasing peptide (grp) receptor is over expressed in a variety of common human tumors. radiolabeled bombesin analogues have exhibited high binding affinity for these receptors. the aim of this study was to assess the value of a new 99mtc-bombesin analog in the differentiation of malignant from benign breast tumors. methods: 99mtc-bombesin scans were performed in 21 pa...

Development of the computer aided animation system was begun in the winter of 1910. The system was designed to produce visual aid materials tor Engineering Graphics, such as orthographic and perspective projection, dihedral angles, piercing-points, etc. It was thus required that a user be able to input objects precisely and to manipulate them with translations, rotations, foldouts etc. in 3-D s...
