One of the fundamental challenges of binocular vision is that objects project to different positions on the two retinas (binocular disparity). Neurons in visual cortex show two distinct types of tuning to disparity, position and phase disparity, which are the results of differences in receptive field location and profile, respectively. Here, we point out that phase disparity does not occur in n...

Sınavlar, kişinin bilgisinin ve deneyimlerinin ölçülmesi için kullanılan bir yöntemdir. Osmanlı eğitim sisteminin parçası olan sınavlar bilhassa askerî yapıdaki modernleşmeyle birlikte önemini daha da arttırmıştır. İşte bu çalışmada, 1912 senesinde Bahriye Mektebinde yapılan hakkında yazılan raporlar incelenecektir. Raporlar, bahriye zabiti eğitiminde, İngiliz sistemine geçilmesinden sonra hazı...

Scleroderma, which follows rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus as the third most prevalent rheumatic disorder, is poorly understood. Connective tissue abnormalities have been explored extensively (1); recently, vascular involvement has been emphasized as a unifying pathogenetic concept (2, 3). The vascular features in scleroderma include Raynaud's phenomenon; an early, edemato...

A novel bacteriocin-like substance produced by vaginal Lactobacillus salivarius subsp. salivarius CRL 1328 with activity against Enterococcus faecalis, Enterococcus faecium, and Neisseria gonorrhoeae was characterized. The highest level of production of this heat-resistant peptide or protein occurred during the late exponential phase. Its mode of action was shown to be bactericidal. L. salivari...

The circadian clock is a group of oscillatory auto-regulatory transcription factors which give rise to rhythms gene expression and enable alignment cellular function with the environment. Human skin has robust psoriasis influenced by rhythms. However, it remains unknown whether genes are dysregulated in lesional skin. We analyzed timestamped transcriptomic data from PSORT (Psoriasis Stratificat...

A recent comparative genomic hybridization study in our laboratory revealed considerable plasticity within the bacteriocin locus of gastrointestinal strains of Lactobacillus salivarius. Most notably, these analyses led to the identification of two novel unmodified bacteriocins, salivaricin L and salivaricin T, produced by the neonatal isolate L. salivarius DPC6488 with immunity, regulatory and ...
