The infralimbic (IL) cortex is a key node in an inter-connected network involved in fear and emotion processing. The cellular and circuit-level mechanisms whereby IL neurons receive, filter, and modulate incoming signals they project onward to diverse downstream nodes in this complex network remain poorly understood. Using the mouse as our model, we applied anatomical labeling strategies, brain...

A brief introduction into the chemistry of the CP-molecules is followed by first-generation synthetic sequences toward key building blocks for their total synthesis. Processes for both racemic and enantiomerically enriched bicyclo[4.3.1] ketone 6 or its equivalent are described, and the absolute stereochemistries of the optically enriched intermediates are determined. The efficient route develo...

In this paper we construct a non–commutative version of the Hopf bundle by making use of Jaynes–Commings model and so-called Quantum Diagonalization Method. The bundle has a kind of Dirac strings. However, they appear in only states containing the ground one (F × {|0〉} ∪ {|0〉} × F ⊂ F × F) and don’t appear in remaining excited states. This means that classical singularities are not universal in...

In this paper, we investigate the problem of task mapping with Dynamic Cache Reconfiguration (DCR) and Cache Partitioning (CP) which are promising techniques to alleviate cache energy consumption. Our goal is to obtain an optimal task mapping, L1 cache configuration and L2 cache partition factor on a target multi-core architecture such that cache energy consumption is minimized while timing con...

As installed wind turbine energy generation capacity increases, the interest in optimizing these wind turbines increases as well. The optimal operating points for the power and speed control of the turbines depends on a mapping to the power conversion ratio (Cp) from tip speed ratio and blade pitch angles. This mapping changes slowly with time, which can lead to a non-optimal operation of the t...

To propose a high performance LTE system. The performance of an LTE system is enhanced in two stages. The first stage is to reduce the high peak to average power ratio of the OFDM signal. The second stage is to improve the channel estimation. PAPR reduction is based on the selective mapping algorithm. The channel estimated via least square method by using wavelet-based de-noising method to redu...

Operational sea ice maps are usually generated manually using dual-polarization (DP) synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellite imagery, but there is strong interest in automating this process. Recently launched satellites offer compact polarimetry (CP) imagery that provides more comprehensive polarimetric information compared to DP, which compels the use of CP for automated classification SAR im...

The blue copper protein caeruloplasmin is synthesized mainly by hepatocytes. An alternative transcript for caeruloplasmin produced in certain extrahepatic tissues, CP-1, contains an additional 12 nucleotides encoding 4 amino acids not present in the hepatic transcript, CP-2 [Yang, Friedrichs, Cupples, Bonifacio, S Sanford, Horton & Bowman (1990) J. Biol. Chem. 265, 10780-10785]. We have demonst...

The advent of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) enables noninvasive measurement of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) motion, and new information about CSF motion has now been acquired. The driving force of the CSF has long been thought to be choroid plexus (CP) pulsation, but to investigate whether this phenomenon actually occurs, CSF motion was observed in the ventricular system and subarachnoid space ...
