Using the novel mathematical technique known as wavelet analysis, a new method (WSC) is presented to sort spikes according to a decomposition of neural signals in the time-frequency space. The WSC method is implemented by a pyramidal algorithm that acts upon neural signals as a bank of quadrature mirror filters. This algorithm is clearly explained and an overview of the mathematical background ...

99Tc levels were measured in seawater samples collected between 2000 and 2002 in the West Spitsbergen Current (WSC) and along the western coast of Svalbard or Spitzbergen and compared with available oceanographic 3-D modelling results for the late 1990s. Additional data from related regions are also presented in order to support the data interpretation. The seawater in the Arctic fjord Kongsfjo...

To develop functionally and nutritionally improved whole soybean curd (WSC), the effects of partial (0 ~ 4%) replacement with pine needle powder (PNP) on the quality characteristics of WSC were investigated. The moisture content and pH ranged from 76.96~77.80% (wet basis) and 6.69~6.74, respectively, with no considerable differences. Lightness significantly decreased with higher PNP content in ...

Water-soluble carbohydrates (WSCs; composed of mainly fructans, sucrose [Suc], glucose [Glc], and fructose) deposited in wheat (Triticum aestivum) stems are important carbon sources for grain filling. Variation in stem WSC concentrations among wheat genotypes is one of the genetic factors influencing grain weight and yield under water-limited environments. Here, we describe the molecular dissec...

Administering high concentrations of fructan to horses has resulted in laminitis. Cool season grasses accumulate fructan, which is estimated as the difference between water soluble carbohydrates (WSC; sucrose, fructose, glucose, fructans) and ethanol soluble carbohydrates (ESC; sucrose, fructose, glucose). Reducing fructan content in hay is critical for susceptible horses. The objective was to ...

Choline is essential for infant development. Human milk choline is predominately present in three water-soluble choline (WSC) forms: free choline (FC), phosphocholine (PhosC), and glycerophosphocholine (GPC). It is unclear whether mother's own preterm milk and pooled donor milk differ in WSC composition and whether WSC compounds are interrelated. Mother's own preterm milk (n = 75) and donor mil...

Adult human muscle cultured in monolayer was cocultured with explants of 13-14-d-old rat embryo using (a) ventral spinal cord (VSC), (b) transverse section of whole spinal cord (WSC), and (c) WSC with dorsal root ganglia (DRG) attached (WSC + DRG). AChR clusters and AChE-positive patches, both at the nerve-muscle contacts, were studied at 5, 12, and 21 d of coculture with each of the 3 spinal c...

We hypothesized that word-stem completion (WSC) priming and perceptual identification (PI) priming, two types of repetition priming, rely on different cognitive and neural mechanisms: WSC priming on a modification mechanism that influences lexical retrieval, and PI priming on plasticity in pre-lexical perceptual systems. We compared the priming performance of the amnesic patient H.M. with words...

This paper presents the history of the Winter Simulation Conference (WSC) for the time period covering 1983–1992. This was a healthy era of growth for WSC as conference attendance was strong, exhibits were added, proceedings became hardback, program tracks were added, the Ph.D. Colloquium was initiated, and the Twenty-Fifth Anniversary of WSC was celebrated in 1992. This article discusses all o...
