TO THE EDITOR: In recent years, De Luca and colleagues (De Luca et al. 1993; De Luca and Kline 2014) have expressed considerable scepticism for the conventionally accepted view that motoneuron synchronization results from activity in common inputs to the motoneurons concerned. Now Kline and De Luca (doi:10.1152/jn.00452.2015) have gone further. Exploiting the EMG decomposition technique develop...

In quintessence models, the dark energy content of the universe is described by a slowly rolling scalar field whose pressure and energy density obey an equation of state of the form p = wρ; w is in general a function of time such that w < −1/3, in order to drive the observed acceleration of the Universe today. The cosmological constant model (ΛCDM) corresponds to the limiting case w = −1. In th...

For health monitoring of a building, we need to separate the response of the building to an earthquake from the imprint of soil-structure coupling and from wave propagation below the base of the building. Seismic interferometry based on deconvolution, where we deconvolve the wave fields recorded at different floors, is a technique to extract this building response and thus estimate velocity of ...

Meloxicam is widely prescribed as an analgesic and anti-inflammatory drug in human therapeutics. Owing the very low aqueous solubility of meloxicam, this property has been studied dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)-aqueous solvent systems at several temperatures from 273.15 to 313.15 K expand database about drugs mixed solvents. The flask shake method followed by ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectrophot...
