Session 1 of the 2010 STP/IFSTP Joint Symposium on Toxicologic Neuropathology, titled ‘‘Fundamentals of Neurobiology,’’ was organized to provide a foundation for subsequent sessions by presenting essential elements of neuroanatomy and nervous system function. A brief introduction to the session titled ‘‘Introduction to Correlative Neurobiology’’ was provided by Dr. Greg Hall (Eli Lilly and Comp...

The neurochemical basis of memory has been approached experimentally in four different ways: the bioassay; the interventive approach; the interventive-correlative approach; and the correlative approach. These approaches are fundamentally similar to those used for the study of the chemistry of any behavior. Each of these approaches has serious limitations, and significant progress has only been ...

Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) scheme is an important tool to achieve a high data rate communication and higher signal to noise ratio (SNR). In order to facilitate the communication system design, understanding and modeling the channel is crucial. Different approaches are available for modeling the MIMO channel based on the required utilization that range between physical and analytical ...

Development of fluorescent and electron dense markers is essential for the implementation of correlative light and electron microscopy, as dual-contrast landmarks are required to match the details in the multimodal images. Here, a novel method for correlative microscopy that utilizes fluorescent nanodiamonds (FNDs) as dual-contrast probes is reported. It is demonstrated how the FNDs can be used...

Understanding China is critical to understanding global sustainability transitions. Transitions theories within the Anglophone academic tradition are limited in uncovering deep mechanisms of China's transition dynamics. Building upon Chinese epistemologies, this viewpoint calls for a ‘correlative’ turn studies on next decade. Through an illustrative case entrepreneurial experimentation China, w...

A mathematical model is presented of prognosis of early (within the periods of stationary treatment) outcomes of a severe cranio-cerebral injury according to the main indicator--"favorable outcome--discharged from the hospital", "unfavorable outcome--died" depending on 10 indicators characterizing the patient's age, injury, duration of neurological syndromes and intraoperative, intracranial pos...

With the large number of clinical practice guidelines available, there is an increasing need for a comprehensive unified model for acute ischemic stroke treatment to assist in clinical decision making. We present a unified treatment model derived through review of existing clinical practice guidelines, meta-analyses, and clinical trials. Using logic from the treatment model, a Bayesian belief n...

Niche theory is central to understanding how species respond geographically to climate change. It defines a species' realized niche in a biological community, its fundamental niche as determined by physiology, and its potential niche--the fundamental niche in a given environment or geographic space. However, most predictions of the effects of climate change on species' distributions are limited...

Despite extensive theoretical work carried out on coordination during the last three decades, much research is still devoted to proving the merits of one model over another. In our article, we will show how the coordination process in French (with using the conjunction et (and)) can be explained through Applicative and Combinatory Categorial Grammar (ACCG). We, especially, describe the analysis...
