We recorded simple spike (SS) and complex spike (CS) firing of Purkinje cell in the cerebellar nodulus and uvula of awake, head-restrained cats during sinusoidal vertical rotation of the head in four stimulus planes (pitch, roll, and two vertical canal planes). Two SS response types (position- and velocity-types) with response phases close to those of head position and velocity, respectively, w...

PURPOSE To report the clinical features, clinical course, and treatment outcomes after laser photocoagulation in infants with aggressive posterior retinopathy of prematurity (APROP) and capillary-free zones in vascularized retina. METHODS Six patients (12 eyes) with APROP and capillary-free zones in vascularized retina were retrospectively reviewed. Twelve eyes of six infants were included an...

BACKGROUND The localization of glutamate receptors is essential for the formation and plasticity of excitatory synapses. These receptors cluster opposite neurotransmitter release sites of glutamatergic neurons, but these release sites have heterogeneous structural and functional properties. At the Drosophila neuromuscular junction, receptors expressed in a single postsynaptic cell are confronte...

Spatial interaction models commonly partition the study area into a number of zones and model the interaction between all zone pairs. For many applications this implies that the computational demands, both in terms for processing time and memory allocation, are quadratic to the number of zones. These practical implications compel modellers to reduce the number of zones and trade accuracy for ef...

Any opinions, findings, and conclusions or recommendations expressed in this material are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the agencies. Abstract: An approach using the upper level set (ULS) scan statistic to detect geospatial hotspots along with its software implementation is presented for continuous response. ULS scan statistic is based on the ULS scan tree. ...

The present study was conducted in five different phytogeographic zones of the Brazilian state of Maranhão, three of which (the Amazon Forest, Cerrado, and Palm Groves) are more heterogeneous, whereas the other two (Marshlands and Mangroves) are more homogeneous. In each zone, nine sites were visited for the collection of necrophagous flies using bait traps in 2010, 2011, and 2012. The callipho...

We describe a statistical machine learning method for extracting databank accession numbers (DANs) from online medical journal articles. Because the DANs are sparsely-located in the articles, we take a hierarchical approach. The HTML journal articles are first segmented into zones according to text and geometric features. The zones are then classified as DAN zones or other zones by an SVM class...

The aim of this work is to justify mathematically the derivation of a viscous free/congested zones two–phase model from the isentropic compressible Navier-Stokes equations with a singular pressure playing the role of a barrier. Titre et résumé en Français. Modèle bi-phasique gérant zones libres/zones congestionnées comme limite singulière d’un système de Navier-Stokes compressible. Le but de ce...

Despite intense investigation, human replication origins and termini remain elusive. Existing data have shown strong discrepancies. Here we sequenced highly purified Okazaki fragments from two cell types and, for the first time, quantitated replication fork directionality and delineated initiation and termination zones genome-wide. Replication initiates stochastically, primarily within non-tran...

The evolution of reproductive isolation in the presence of gene flow is supported by theoretical models but rarely by data. Empirical support might be gained from studies of parallel hybrid zones between interbreeding taxa. We analysed gene flow over two hybrid zones separating ecotypes of Littorina saxatilis to test the expectation that neutral genetic markers will show site-specific differenc...
