A natural visual scene contains more information than the visual system has the capacity to simultaneously process, requiring specific items to be selected for detailed analysis at the expense of others. Such selection and inhibition are fundamental in guiding search behavior, but the neural basis of these mechanisms remains unclear. Abruptly appearing visual items can automatically capture att...

Synaptic inhibition mediated by the activation of potassium channels has been reported from several types of neurons. In each case, despite mediation by different neurotransmitters, the K+ conductance underlying the synaptic potential is activated by a G protein and inwardly rectifies. We report here a second K+ current that contributes to synaptic inhibition. Intracellular recordings were made...

This study focuses on the problem of assessing inter-observer reliability (IOR) in case dichotomous categorical animal-based welfare indicators and presence two observers. Based observations obtained from Animal Welfare Indicators (AWIN) project surveys conducted nine dairy goat farms, using udder asymmetry as an indicator, we compared performance most popular agreement indexes available litera...

• Initial hamza: • BN: All initial hamzas (glottal stops) are heard and transcribed with either a-, such as نإِ an~a (that) • Newswire (NW): Neutralized نا An form very common (1.5% of tokens in ATB3) • Annotators forced to distinguish between aforms based on context • The two forms require different POS and tree annotations, different guidelines For initial ...
