Our server, CLICK: http://mspc.bii.a-star.edu.sg/click, is capable of superimposing the 3D structures of any pair of biomolecules (proteins, DNA, RNA, etc.). The server makes use of the Cartesian coordinates of the molecules with the option of using other structural features such as secondary structure, solvent accessible surface area and residue depth to guide the alignment. CLICK first looks ...

In an earlier paper [Nosal and Frazer Appl. Acoust. 61, 1187-1201 (2006)], a sperm whale was tracked in three-dimensions using direct and surface-reflected time differences (DRTD) of clicks recorded on five bottom-mounted hydrophones, a passive method that is robust to timing errors between hydrophones. This paper refines the DRTD method and combines it with a time of (direct) arrival method to...

Objective(s): Behavioral and neuroimaging studies have shown that transcranial direct current stimulation, as a non-invasive neuromodulatory technique, beyond regional effects can modify functionally interconnected remote cortical and subcortical areas. In this study, we hypothesized that the induced changes in cortical excitability following the application of cathodal or anodal tDCS over the ...

speech delay with an unknown cause is a problem among children. this diagnosis is the last differential diagnosis after observing normal findings in routine hearing tests. the present study was undertaken to determine whether auditory brainstem responses to click stimuli are different between normally developing children and children suffering from delayed speech with unknown causes. in this cr...

The rearing environment of layer chicks can differ greatly in degree complexity. With the industry moving towards cage-free housing systems, greater demands are placed on birds’ cognitive abilities order for them to find resources such as food, water and nest-boxes. Because early environmental complexity influence cognition, we aimed at increasing our knowledge how two different environments af...

Abstract Introduction Increased attention to sleep-related stimuli (i.e., “sleep-related attentional bias”) may contribute the persistence of insomnia symptoms. Despite high prevalence disorder in older adults, studies investigating this phenomenon population are lacking. Additionally, it is unclear whether bias occurs only for visual or more broadly, such as auditory stimuli. This study examin...
