Graded chemical synaptic transmission is important for establishing the motor patterns produced by the pyloric central pattern generator (CPG) circuit of the lobster stomatogastric ganglion (Raper, 1979; Anderson and Barker, 1981; Graubard et al., 1983). We examined the modulatory effects of the amines dopamine (DA), serotonin (5-HT), and octopamine (Oct) on graded synaptic transmission at all ...

The numerical method for estimating soil moisture transport coefficients in land surface models (LSMs) is evaluated through comparison to a weighted-average method based on successive steady states [Warrick, 1991] and a proposed new scheme [Dong and Wang, 1997]. The focus is on situations with large gradients of soil moisture. The reference cases used to evaluate the performance of the various ...

In this study, we apply this approach to measurements of wetting front advance Inverse methods to obtain soil hydraulic parameters are becoming made under simulated field conditions. increasingly popular, due to their more rapid, complete, and robust estimations of hydraulic parameters compared with traditional direct Standard methods typically determine the hydrauli...

The 8th ICN: The largest item looming on the agenda for the ISN is our upcoming Congress in Vancouver (July 22-27). I can tell you that we are in excellent hands with Barb Beltz chairing the Congress Committee and Cathy Rankin as the Chair of the local organizing committee. Ron Harris-Warrick and Sten Grillner are the Congress Vice-Chairs. These folks, with excellent advice from the membership ...

The paper considers alternative monetary policy regimes within a calibrated macroeconomic model with a traded and a non-traded sector. Two classes of regimes are considered; in°ation targeting and exchange rate targeting. When the target variable is completely stabilized, both rules have poor stabilizing properties for all real variables nominal exchange rate targeting is even dynamically unsta...
