The cerebellum is organized into parasagittal zones that control sensory-motor behavior. Although the architecture of adult zones is well understood, very little is known about how zones emerge during development. Understanding the process of zone formation is an essential step toward unraveling how circuits are constructed to support specific behaviors. Therefore, we focused this study on post...

[1] Fault zone structure and properties may contain important information about past earthquake rupture and subsequent healing processes. Damaged fault zones are observed geologically in the field [e.g., Chester and Chester, 1998; Ben-Zion and Sammis, 2003]. Seismic studies have revealed the existence of low-velocity fault zones around active faults [e.g., Li et al., 1998; Ben-Zion et al., 2003...

Safety zones are areas where firefighters can retreat to in order to avoid bodily harm when threatened by burnover or entrapment from wildland fire. At present, safety zones are primarily designated by firefighting personnel as part of daily fire management activities. Though critical to safety zone assessment, the effectiveness of this approach is inherently limited by the individual firefight...

Little is known about the distribution of prostaglandin E? (PGE?) and prostacyclin (PGLJ production in the canine kidney. To determine the basal and stimulated profiles of PGE^ and PGI2 production along the corticomedullary axis of the dog kidney, a slice (0.5 mm thick, 10-50 mg) was obtained from six equally spaced zones along the axis (zone 1, medullary crest; zones 2 and 3, inner medulla; zo...

-Seismic energy release is dominated by the underthrusting earthquakes in subduction zones, and this energy release is further concentrated in a few subduction zones. While some subduction zones are characterized by the occurrence of great earthquakes, others are relatively aseismic. This variation in maximum earthquake size between subduction zones is one of the most important features of glob...

tomato is the most important agricultural crops in bushehr province. this experiment was conducted on a randomized complete block design (r.c.b.d.) with 15 treatments cultivars and 4 replications in the borazjan research station during two consecutive cropping seasons (1995-97) to find tomato cultivars with high yield and quality and suitable for the region. cultivars had been selected among 60...

during 2000-2001, soil pythium species were studied in fars province. soil samples werecollected from various parts of the province (abadeh, bajgah, bayza, borazjan, darab, estahban, fasa,khafr, sepidan, shiraz, moharloo, and zarghan). isolates were recovered from soil by baiting. specieswere identified based on morphological characters of sexual and asexual organs, growth rate at differenttemp...

The relationship between the Breteau index, the House index, and the occurrence of dengue/dengue hemorrhagic fever in the 6 zones of Kuala Lumpur was studied throughout 1994. Cases of dengue/dengue hemorrhagic fever varied between zones and between months, ranging from 0 to 21 cases. In most of the zones in Kuala Lumpur, the occurrence of dengue/dengue hemorrhagic fever has no relationship with...

Detection of mineralized zones based on ores and gangues is important for mine planning and excavation operation. The major goal of this research work was to determine the zones based on ores and gangues by a combination of fractal and factor analysis in the Chah Gaz iron ore (Central Iran). The Concentration-Volume (C-V) fractal method was carried out for Fe, P and S, which indicated that the ...

We exploit plausibly exogenous variation in overseas deployment assignment to estimate the effect of combat exposure on psychological well-being. Controlling for pre-deployment mental health, we find that active-duty soldiers deployed to combat zones are more likely to suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) than their counterparts deployed outside the United States in non-combat zone...
