We induced brain edema in 72 rats by injecting 5 microliters of 3.0% wt:vol polyvinyl acetate into the left internal carotid artery, producing permanent embolization in the left cerebral hemisphere, which developed ipsilateral brain edema reproducibly. Edema was assessed 24 hours after embolization by determining the brain water content and the sodium and potassium concentrations. In this model...

In this project, a stereo vision tracking system using webcams is constructed. This system records stereo videos of moving labeled targets and extracts the 3D trajectories of these targets from the recorded videos. It consists of three major steps – stereo video capturing, post processing, and 3D trajectory construction of labeled targets. The final goal of this stereo system is to record human...

The design and measurements of a 200 GHz downconverter in 90 nm standard CMOS are presented. A positive conversion gain of +6.6 dB, a noise figure of 29.9 dB and an output bandwidth of 3 GHz are measured for an LO power of −14.9 dBm. The conversion gain remains within 3 dB for an RF frequency between 186 and 212 GHz. Downconversion of BPSK and QPSK signals is demonstrated with eye diagrams and ...

NIST’s ECC standards create (1) unnecessary losses of sim­ plicity, security, and speed in ECC implementations and (2) unnecessary tensions between simplicity, security, and speed in ECC implementations.

This study determined the antimicrobial susceptibilities of 186 clinical isolates of Nocardia spp. isolated in Gipuzkoa, northern Spain, between 1998 and 2009. Most isolates were recovered from respiratory samples, Nocardia nova, N. farcinica, N. cyriacigeorgica, N. abscessus, and N. carnea being the species most frequently isolated. Linezolid and amikacin were the only two antimicrobials to wh...

A single-copy chromosomal reporter system was used to measure the intrinsic strengths and interactions between the three promoters involved in the establishment of lysogeny by coliphage 186. The maintenance lysogenic promoter p(L) for the immunity repressor gene cI is intrinsically approximately 20-fold weaker than the lytic promoter p(R). These promoters are arranged face-to-face, and transcri...

Primer on physiological techniques Different recording techniques:-Intracellular recording-Extracellular recording-Imaging Intracellular recording Record inside the cell using glass (why not metal?) electrodes. $$ This technique allows the experimenter to record subthreshold responses, and to understand mechanisms behind a cell's response properties. Whole-cell recording is a modern form of int...
