Entropy is an important trait for life as well as the human brain. Characterizing brain entropy (BEN) may provide an informative tool to assess brain states and brain functions. Yet little is known about the distribution and regional organization of BEN in normal brain. The purpose of this study was to examine the whole brain entropy patterns using a large cohort of normal subjects. A series of...

Advances in haploidentical bone marrow transplantation (h-BMT) have drastically broadened the treatment options for patients requiring BMT. The possibility of significantly reducing the complications resulting from graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) with the administration of post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PT-CY) has substantially improved the efficacy and applicability of T cell-replete h-BMT...

OBJECTIVES The aim of the present study was to evaluate antioxidant and methyl donor effects of betaine in cerebellum following levodopa and benserazide administration in rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sprague-Dawley male rats were treated with levodopa (LD), betaine (Bet), levodopa plus betaine (LD/Bet), levodopa plus benserazide (LD/Ben), levodopa plus betaine-benserazide (LD/Bet-Ben), and the...

We have previously identified a 95- to 100-kDa cell surface glycoprotein, which we named BEN (for bursal epithelium and neurons), that is widely expressed during chicken embryonic development. In the central nervous system, it is restricted to subsets of neurons including the motoneurons and the inferior olivary nucleus neurons (which provide the cerebellum with the climbing fibers) where its e...

OBJECTIVE We aimed to investigate the effects of arsenic (As), benomyl (Ben), and carbendazim (Carb) on endometrial cells. MATERIALS AND METHODS Human endometrial cells were obtained during diagnostic curettage. All cultured endometrial cells were divided into four groups: (1) 0 M (controls), (2) 10(-6) M, (3) 10(-5) M, (4) 10(-4) M for As, Ben and Carb. After 24 and 48 hours in culture, endo...

A városi dialektológia William Labov munkásságával kezdődött az 1960-as évek közepén Egyesült Államokban. Magyarországon MTA Nyelvtudományi Intézetében 1985-ben kezdődtek meg élőnyelvi (szociolingvisztikai) kutatások. Budapesti Szociolingvisztikai Interjú (röviden: BUSZI) első jelentős magyar beszélt nyelvi kutatás volt, a terepmunkája 1987-ben (50 interjú), majd 1988‒89-ben (200 interjú) zajlo...

This paper describes “Little Ben,” an autonomous ground vehicle constructed by the Ben Franklin Racing Team for the 2007 DARPA Urban Challenge in under a year and for less than $250,000. The sensing, planning, navigation, and actuation systems for Little Ben were carefully designed to meet the performance demands required of an autonomous vehicle traveling in an uncertain urban environment. We ...

The ubiquitously expressed TFII-I family of multifunctional transcription factors is involved in gene regulation as well as signaling. Despite the fact that they share significant sequence homology, these factors exhibit varied and distinct functions. The lack of knowledge about its binding sites and physiological target genes makes it more difficult to assign a definitive function for the TFII...
