Brown tumors are a definitive feature of hyperparathyroidism. They are well-demarcated osteolytic lesions commonly in the appendicular skeleton. Primary hyperparathyroidism is typically suggested by hypercalcemia and hypophosphatemia on routine labs. Much more rarely do these cases present with a craniofacial mass. Here we investigate a unique presentation of terminal stage primary hyperparathy...

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 ...

The southern root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita, is the most damaging pathogen of cotton in the USA. Host-plant resistance to root-knot nematodes is an effective means of reducing crop losses and reducing nematode population levels in a field. Resistance to plantparasitic nematodes refers to the suppressive effect of the plant on the nematode’s ability to reproduce; tolerance describes t...

In this paper, a discontinuous projection based output feedback adaptive robust control (ARC) scheme is constructed for a class of linear systems subjected to both parametric uncertainties and disturbances that might be output dependent. An observer is first designed to provide exponentially convergent estimates of the unmeasured states. This observer has an extended filter structure so that on...
