Mycobacterium smegmatis PTCC 1307 (CIP 73.26) was used as a microbial agent to produce androsta-1,4-diene-3,17-dione (ADD) and androst-4-ene-3,17-dione, two useful precursors in the synthesis of steroid drugs. The side chain of cholesterol, as the substrate, was selectively cleaved in the presence of five enzyme inhibitors. An intermediate structure with intact side chain, cholest-4-ene-3-one, ...

Top-down attention biases the short-term memory (STM) processing at multiple stages. Orienting attention during the maintenance period of STM by a retrospective cue (retro-cue) strengthens the representation of the cued item and improves the subsequent STM performance. In a recent article, Backer et al. (Backer KC, Binns MA, Alain C. J Neurosci 35: 1307-1318, 2015) extended these findings from ...

Future Work Path Error = Distance at each predicted step between prediction and ground truth. Final Displacement = Distance between the final points ● We used 5 pre-annotated Stanford Drone Dataset video-streams of the “The Circle of Death” ● total of 22 minutes of footage (with 1548 Bicyclists, 917 Pedestrians, 107 Skaters, and 132 carts) ○ Holdout: Training on first 3 scenes (17 min).
