We report the observation of a dipole-bound state and a high-resolution photoelectron imaging study of cryogenically cooled acetate anions (CH3COO(-)). Both high-resolution non-resonant and resonant photoelectron spectra via the dipole-bound state of CH3COO(-) are obtained. The binding energy of the dipole-bound state relative to the detachment threshold is determined to be 53 ± 8 cm(-1). The e...

The effects of false positive and false negative physiological feedback (vaginal photoplethymograph response print-out) on women's sexual arousal were examined. Participants included women without sexual dysfunction (n=16) and women with Sexual Arousal Disorder (SAD; n=15). Measures of subjective sexual arousal, physiological sexual arousal (vaginal pulse amplitude), expectancies, affect, and a...

The paper discusses the possibility to apply network identification by deconvolution (NID) method to the analysis of the thermal transient behavior due to a laser delta pulse excitation in a pump-probe transient thermoreflectance experiment. NID is a method based on linear RC network theory using Fourier's law of heat conduction. This approach allows the extraction of the thermal time constant ...

Chromatic discrimination thresholds were measured with and without surrounds along two cardinal axes of chromaticity space. On one axis the level of short-wavelength-sensitive (SWS)-cone excitation was varied for constant long-wavelength-sensitive (LWS)-cone and medium-wavelength-sensitive (MWS)-cone excitations, and on the other axis there were equal and opposite changes in LWS-cone and MWS-co...

Brain function depends on a delicate balance between excitation and inhibition. Similarly, Caenorhabditis elegans motor system function depends on a precise balance between excitation and inhibition, as C. elegans muscles receive both inhibitory, GABAergic and excitatory, cholinergic inputs from motor neurons. Here we show that phosphorylation of the ER-resident chaperone of nicotinic acetylcho...
