to be published in the Journal of Vision Researchers on human perception have devised a number of methods for measuring perceived location and using it to assess perceptually guided action. Such work has primarily been performed in space accessible by reaching and walking. Here we use the same approach to assess perceptually guided action in very near space, specifically, in the applied context...

Anxiety and depression are major chronic mood disorders, and the etiopathology for each appears to be repeated exposure to diverse unpredictable stress factors. Most of the studies on anxiety and related mood disorders are performed in rodents, and a good model is chronic unpredictable stress (CUS). In this study, we have attempted to understand the molecular basis of the neuroglial and behavio...

PURPOSE Women undergoing radical cystectomy (RC) and urinary diversion for bladder cancer experience substantial limitations in health-related quality of life (HRQOL). However, the level of discomfort caused by different urinary diversion has been never evaluated in long term survivors. The aim of this multicenter study is to evaluate differences in HRQOL among recurrence-free women undergoing ...

Due to the proliferation of mobile devices, provisioning massive connectivity has become a major challenge for future networks. The combination millimeter wave (mmWave) with non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) provides promising solution connectivity. However, security issue therein cannot be ignored due openness wireless channels. To overcome in mmWave-NOMA based networks, nonorthogonal inte...

We report the synthesis and structural studies of copper sulfide nanocrystals from copper (II) dithiocarbamate single molecule precursors. The precursors were thermolysed in hexadecylamine (HDA) to prepare HDA-capped CuS nanocrystals. The optical properties of the nanocrystals studied using UV-visible and photoluminescence spectroscopy showed absorption band edges at 287 nm that are blue shifte...

Sini Tang, a Chinese traditional prescription containing three herbs, has been widely used for Yang-deficiency. Recent clinical studies have shown that Sini Tang could treat and improve depression symptoms, but the mechanisms underlying the antidepressant effect of Sini Tang remains unknown. In rats with chronic unpredictable stress (CUS), we examined the effects of Sini Tang on sucrose prefere...

A simple, sensitive and selective fluorescence biosensor for determination of DNA using CuS particles based on click chemistry is reported. Biotin-modified capture DNA was modified on Streptavidin MagneSphere Paramagnetic Particles (PMPs) and hybridized with target DNA (hepatitis B virus DNA had been chosen as an example), then bound target DNA was hybridized with DNA-CuS particles and formed a...

Recently, incorporating multiple components into one nanostructured matrix to construct a multifunctional nanomedical platform has attracted more and more attention for simultaneous anticancer diagnosis and therapy. Herein, a novel anti-cancer nanoplatform has been successfully developed by coating a uniform shell of poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) on the surface of CuS-decorated upconversion nanopart...
