It has been reported previously that the neuronal excitability persistently suppresses and the amplitude of fast afterhyperpolarization (fAHP) increases in CA1 pyramidal cells of rat hippocampus following transient forebrain ischemia. To understand the conductance mechanisms underlying these post-ischemic electrophysiological alterations, we compared differences in activities of large conductan...

Runtime software patching aims to minimize or eliminate service downtime, user interruptions and potential data losses while deploying a patch. Due modern systems’ high variance heterogeneity, no universal solutions are available proposed deploy execute patches at runtime. Existing runtime focus on specific cases, scenarios, programming languages operating systems. This paper identify, investig...

Abstract Code review is one of the common activities to guarantee reliability software, while code time-consuming as it requires reviewers inspect source each patch. A patch may be reviewed more than once before eventually merged or abandoned, and then such a tighten development schedule developers further affect progress project. Thus, tool that predicts early on how long will can help take se...

The chloride (Cl-) channel cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) is defective in cystic fibrosis (CF), and mutation of its encoding gene leads to various defects such as retention of the misfolded protein in the endoplasmic reticulum, reduced stability at the plasma membrane, abnormal channel gating with low open probability, and thermal instability, which leads to inactiva...

Although the principles of landscape ecology are increasingly extended to include riverine landscapes, explicit applications are few. We investigated associations between patch heterogeneity and riparian ant assemblages at 12 riverine landscapes of the Scioto River, Ohio, USA, that represent urban/developed, agricultural, and mixed (primarily forested, but also wetland, grassland/fallow, and ex...

The Isogeometric Analysis (IGA) was introduced by Hughes et al. [2005] and has since been developed intensively, see also monograph Cottrell et al. [2009], is a very suitable framework for representing and discretizing Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) on surfaces. We refer the reader to the survey paper by Dziuk and Elliot [2013] where different finite element approaches to the numerical s...

image completion is one of the subjects in image and video processing which deals with restoration of and filling in damaged regions of images using correct regions. exemplar-based image completion methods give more pleasant results than pixel-based approaches. in this paper, a new algorithm is proposed to find the most suitable patch in order to fill in the damaged parts. this patch selection ...

This paper presents a temporary multimedia installation set up at the Civic Aquarium of Milan. Thanks to four web cameras located in front of the tropical fishpond, fish are tracked and their movements are used to control a number of music-related parameters in real time. In order to process multiple video streams, the open-source programming language Processing has been employed. Then, the son...

BACKGROUND To evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of a clonidine transdermal patch in the treatment of children with tic disorders (TD) and to establish a predictive model for patients. METHODS Forty-one patients who met the inclusion criteria entered into 12 weeks of prospective, open, single-group, self-controlled treatment with a clonidine transdermal patch. The Yale Global Tic Severity...
