The buccal mucosa, chiefly human, in malnutrition, has been studied in recent years, but very little has been published on the microscopic appearances of the superficial epithelial cells in protein-calorie deficiency. It has been shown (Squires, 1958, 1961) that degenerative changes occur in the superficial mucosal cells of human patients suffering from apparent general malnutrition and that, i...

Event-related brain potentials (ERPs) have proven to be particularly sensitive indices of the brain’s response to unexpected, surprising, or deviant stimuli (for reviews see Donchin et al., 1978; Picton et al., 1979). One of the more prominent of these ERPs following “surprising” stimuli has been a late positive wave called the P3, P300 or late positive complex (LPC). Among other hypotheses, it...

The contributions to this volume discuss the degree to which awareness plays a role in how language is produced (Babel, Zimman), acquired (Nycz), and processed (Beck, Carmichael, Squires). The conclusions underscore the need for models of speech production and perception that can account for different amounts of awareness and attention. In this chapter, we seek to lay out how awareness, salienc...

We present a novel method for reconstructing weak lensing mass or convergence maps as probe to study non-Gaussianities in the cosmic density field. While previous surveys have relied on flat-sky approximation, forthcoming Stage IV will cover such large areas with field of view (FOV) motivate reconstruction sphere. Here, we an improved Kaiser-Squires (KS+) inversion using HEALPix pixelisation sp...

Abstract Objective: PediaTracTM is a web-based tool for tracking infant/toddler development (Lajiness-O’Neill et al., 2021). This study evaluated convergent validity between Motor domain and motor domains of Ages Stages Questionnaire (ASQ-3, Squires & Phillips, 2009). Method: Participants were 515 term preterm (< 37 weeks gestation) infant/caregiver dyads in multi-site validation Ped...

Uncertainty quantification is a crucial step of cosmological mass-mapping that often ignored. Suggested methods are typically only approximate or make strong assumptions Gaussianity the shear field. Probabilistic sampling methods, such as Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC), draw samples form probability distribution, allowing for full and flexible uncertainty quantification, however these notoriou...

Context. Weak lensing mass-mapping is a useful tool for accessing the full distribution of dark matter on sky, but because intrinsic galaxy ellipticies, finite fields, and missing data, recovery maps constitutes challenging, ill-posed inverse problem Aims. We introduce novel methodology that enables efficient sampling high-dimensional Bayesian posterior weak problem, relying simulations to defi...
