The STAR collaboration presents new measurements of high pT hadron production in Au+Au and p+p collisions at RHIC. We extend the previously reported suppression of inclusive hadrons and large azimuthal anisotropies to much higher transverse momentum, decisively establishing the existence of strong medium effects on hadron production well into the perturbative regime. Near-angle two-particle cor...

Unwanted memories, such as emotionally negative, can be intentionally suppressed through voluntary control in humans. Memory suppression is thought to be mediated by the interplay of a chain of neurocognitive processes. However, empirical data in support of this notion is lacking. Using high-temporal resolution event-related potential (ERP) technique, we investigated the time course of ERPs ass...

Previous research has shown that patients with Alzheimer's disease show increasing levels of false recognition across five repeated study-test trials of semantic associates. The present study tested the hypotheses that (i) the increasing false recognition was partly due to the frontal lobe dysfunction of patients with Alzheimer's disease, and (ii) a failure of source monitoring was the central ...

A 69-year-old male patient visited our hospital because of a continuous low-grade fever and right back pain since 2 weeks. Enhanced computed tomography (CT) of his abdomen revealed a mass with ring enhancement (35 × 30 mm) in the Spiegel lobe as well as a needle-like foreign body. Because conservative treatment by fasting and administration of antibiotics was unsuccessful, the patient underwent...

Abstract SincNet architecture has shown significant benefits over traditional Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), especially for speaker recognition applications. comprises parameterized Sinc functions as filters in the first layer followed by convolutional layers. Although is compact nature and offers top-level understanding of features extracted, effect window function used not thoroughly ad...

We have designed and fabricated a kind of supersymmetric slotted Fabry–Perot semiconductor laser near 1550 nm to achieve single-mode, high-power, narrow-linewidth operation. The structure the is composed an electrically pumped broad ridge waveguide in middle provide optical gain, group periodic slots etched front facet suppress extra longitudinal modes narrow linewidth, pair passive superpartne...

How cell-type-specific physiological properties shape neuronal functions in a circuit remains poorly understood. We addressed this issue in the Drosophila mushroom body (MB), a higher olfactory circuit, where neurons belonging to distinct glomeruli in the antennal lobe feed excitation to three types of intrinsic neurons, α/β, α'/β', and γ Kenyon cells (KCs). Two-photon optogenetics and intracel...

An acoustic electronic scanning array for acquiring images from a person using a biometric application is developed. Based on pulse-echo techniques, multifrequency acoustic images are obtained for a set of positions of a person (front, front with arms outstretched, back and side). Two Uniform Linear Arrays (ULA) with 15 λ/2-equispaced sensors have been employed, using different spatial aperture...

Localization of 99mTc- hexakis-2-methoxyisobutylisonitrile (99mTc-MIBI) by parathyroid adenomas is well known, and this warrants MIBI scan to evaluate suspected parathyroid adenoma in primary hyperparathyroidism. Typically, the radionuclide concentrates in both the thyroid gland and parathyroid adenoma in early images, and later on delayed images washes out slowly from the...
