This article deals with a two-parameter family of piecewise smooth unimodal maps with one break point. Using superstable cycles and their symbolic representation we describe the structure of the periodicity regions of the 2D bifurcation diagram. Particular attention is paid to the bistability regions corresponding to two coexisting attractors, and to the border-collision bifurca-

Published in NEURON, Vol. 47, 143-153, July 7, 2005. Note that if you want to see detailed mathematical equations, it is better to read this document than the NEURON’s published version which uses some different fonts for the math equations and may have errors. Summary: A border between two image regions normally belongs to only one of the regions; determining which one is essential for surface...

To determine the renal localization of oligopeptide transporters, Northern blot analyses were performed and polyclonal antisera were generated against PEPT1 and PEPT2, the two cloned rat H+/peptide transporters. Under high-stringency conditions, a 3.0-kb mRNA transcript of rat PEPT1 was expressed primarily in superficial cortex, whereas a 3.5-kb mRNA transcript of PEPT2 was expressed primarily ...

PURPOSE The purpose of this paper is to describe the food landscape of Texas using the CDC's Modified Retail Food Environment (mRFEI) and to make comparisons by border/non-border. METHODS The Modified Retail Food Environment index (mRFEI (2008)) is an index developed by the CDC that measures what percent of the total food vendors in a census track sell healthy food. The range of values is 0 (...
