Selected L3T4- and Lyt 2- T-cell subpopulations from Listeria monocytogenes-infected mice were transferred into syngenic recipients, and their capacity to adoptively mediate protection against L. monocytogenes and delayed-type hypersensitivity to listerial antigens was determined. Both functions were markedly reduced by pretreatment of cells with either anti-L3T4 or anti-Lyt 2.2 antibodies plus...

Many musical instruments exhibit an inherent latency or delayed auditory feedback (DAF) between actuator activation and the occurrence of sound. We investigated how DAF (73ms and 250ms) affects musically trained (MT) and non-musically trained (NMT) people’s ability to synchronize the audible strum of an actuated guitar to a metronome at 60bpm and 120bpm. The long DAF matched a subdivision of th...

In recent years, a number of studies have introduced methods for identifying papers with delayed recognition (so called " sleeping beauties " , SBs) or have presented single publications as cases of SBs. Most recently, Ke et al. (2015) proposed the so called " beauty coefficient " (denoted as B) to quantify how much a given paper can be considered as a paper with delayed recognition. In this st...

Carefully recorded circumstantial details of the symptoms and pathological phenomena presented by enteric Tever in native3 of India are still so rarely seen in the medical literature of the day, that I venture to hope the following case may bo interesting to the profession. Its daily history is slightly abridged from that recorded in the case-book of the 5th Goorkha Regiment. Like many similar ...

Female mice previously selected for early and late sexual maturation were tested to determine whether they retained flexibility in age of puberty in response to pheromonal and social cues. First vaginal oestrus in fst-maturing females could be delayed but not accelerated by social cues. Conversely, puberty in slow-maturing females could be accelerated in their sexual development, but not delaye...

1. Define the ages at which puberty is considered delayed in boys and girls. 2. Discuss the typical presentation and natural history of constitutional delayed puberty. 3. Compare the differential diagnosis of delayed puberty for causes other than constitutional delay in girls versus boys. 4. Recognize the psychological consequences of pubertal delay. 5. Describe the evaluation and treatment of ...

1. MOTIVATION • Human listeners are much better at recognizing speech in noise than automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems – Understanding why could directly improve ASR noise robustness • We utilize the recently introduced “auditory bubbles” technique to compare the cues used by humans and ASRs (Mandel, 2013; Mandel et al., 2014) 1. Measure the intelligibility to listeners of the same spee...
