Maternal care experienced during postnatal development predicts long-term neurobiological and behavioral outcomes. However, the cascade of behavioral changes that emerge in response to maternal care has not been elucidated. In the current study, we examine naturally occurring variation in postnatal licking/grooming (LG) in C57BL/6J mice to determine its impact on preweaning maternal and pup beh...

We describe an algorithm for computing the intersection of n balls of equal radius in IR 3 which runs in time O(n lg 2 n). The algorithm can be parallelized so that the comparisons that involve the radius of the balls are performed in O(lg 3 n) batches. Using parametric search, these algorithms are used to obtain an algorithm for computing the diameter of a set of n points in IR 3 (the maximum ...

Given a sequence of n elements, the All Nearest Smaller Values (ANSV) problem is to nd, for each element in the sequence, the nearest element to the left (right) that is smaller, or to report that no such element exists. Time and work optimal algorithms for this problem are known on all the PRAM models 3], 5], but the running time of the best previous hypercube algorithm 6] is optimal only when...

We consider unknown ad-hoc radio networks, when the underlying network is bidirectional and nodes can have polynomially large labels. For this model, we present a deterministic protocol for gossiping which takes O(n lg n lg lgn) rounds. This improves upon the previous best result for deterministic gossiping for this model by [Gasienec, Potapov, Pagourtizis, Deterministic Gossiping in Radio Netw...

Given a sequence of n elements, the All Nearest Smaller Values (ANSV) problem is to nd, for each element in the sequence, the nearest element to the left (right) that is smaller, or to report that no such element exists. Time and work optimal algorithms for this problem are known on all the PRAM models 4, 6], but the running time of the best previous hypercube algorithm 9] is optimal only when ...

PURPOSE To investigate the osmotic water permeability of lacrimal gland (LG) duct epithelium by means of calculation of filtration permeability and to investigate LG ductal fluid secretion. METHODS Experiments were performed on isolated rabbit LG duct segments maintained in short-term culture. Osmotically determined fluid movement or fluid secretion into the closed intraluminal space of cultu...

PURPOSE Gene expression and protein analysis studies require high-quality human tissue which is a challenge and difficult to obtain through live human biopsies. Human postmortem lacrimal gland (LG) and submandibular gland (SMG) tissues have the potential to provide an invaluable source for studying the mechanisms involved in LG and SMG dysfunction. Therefore, we aimed to test the suitability of...

Genetic linkage maps provide a useful resource for non-model genomes and can aid in genome reassembly to form more contiguous pseudo-chromosomes. We present the first map of any cephalopod, H. maculosa, composed 47 groups (LG). A total 2166 single nucleotide polymorphisms 2455 presence–absence variant loci were utilised by Lep-Map3 construction. The length spans 2016.62 cM with an average marke...
