Copula is an important tool for modeling neural dependence. Recent work on copula has been expanded to jointly model mixed time series in neuroscience ("Hu et al., 2016, Joint Analysis of Spikes and Local Field Potentials using Copula" [1]). Here we present further data for joint analysis of spike and local field potential (LFP) with copula modeling. In particular, the details of different mode...

Bleeding from cancellous bone causes lamination within bone cement and at its prosthetic interfaces, and weakens the fixation of joint replacements. We examined the effects of anaesthesia and blood pressure on bleeding in human cancellous bone, and investigated the local response to freezing saline, 1:200,000 adrenaline and hydrogen peroxide. Spinal anaesthesia reduced cancellous bleeding by an...

Introduction Throughout the world food safety and quality is a topic of public concern. Wellpublicized and widespread foodborne disease outbreaks have created an awareness of potential threats to human health from food products. Much of the concern about foodborne disease is related to the changing nature of outbreaks. Traditionally, outbreaks of foodborne disease were acute and highly local in...

In this study, we examined the effects of formic acid administration to the drinking water on performance, intestinal microflora and carcass contamination in male broilers. A total of 312 day-old male broiler chicks were allocated to two groups with three replicates. The first group (control) received normal drinking water (pH 7.4) during the experiment. The second group consumed acidified drin...

When designing a cleanroom to achieve a required airborne cleanliness standard or grade, such as specified in ISO 1464411 or the European Union Guidelines to Good Manufacturing Practice (EU GGMP)2, designers have difficulties deciding how much filtered air should be supplied to the cleanroom to achieve the correct airborne cleanliness requirement. Currently, this decision is based on experience...

Aim: The study was carried out to investigate the microbiological quality of packaged drinking water marketed in Jaipur city. Material and Methods: In the present study 'twenty' drinking water samples (15 water bottles and 5 sachets) of different brands purchased randomly, were evaluated to access the water quality on the basis of different bacteriological parameters. Result: Out of twenty, 50%...

Coherent alignments of galaxy shapes, often called “intrinsic alignments” (IA), are the most significant source of astrophysical uncertainty in weak lensing measurements. We develop the tidal alignment model of IA and demonstrate its success in describing observational data. We also describe a technique to separate IA from galaxy-galaxy lensing measurements. Applying this technique to luminous ...

The accurate prediction of the neutrino beam produced in muon decays and the absence of opposite helicity contamination for a particular neutrino flavor make a future neutrino factory the ideal place to look for the lepton flavor violating (LFV) decays of the kind μ → eν̄eνμ and lepton number violating (LNV) processes like μ → e−νeνμ. Excellent sensitivities can be achieved using a detector capa...

The present study tested the Terror Management perspective on disgust by examining the effects of mortality salience on disgust sensitivity among 137 university students, 48 older adults, and 44 mortuary students preparing for a career in the funeral service industry. Participants were randomly assigned to a mortality salience, uncertainty salience, or television salience induction. Following a...
