Artificial Circulation by Rocking

Artificial circulation produced by rocking; its use in drowning and anaesthetic emergencies.

Rocking pneumonia

Ever since Chuck Berry coined the term "rocking pneumonia" in his 1956 song "Roll over Beethoven", pneumonia has been mentioned frequently in modern blues and rock songs. We analyzed the lyrics of these songs to examine how various elements of pneumonia have been represented in popular music, specifically the cause of pneumonia, the risk groups, comorbidity (such as the boogie woogie flu), the ...

ROCKing the JAKs

The endocrine cytokine leptin is mainly secreted by white adipose tissue and plasma leptin levels positively correlate with body fat mass. Via its action on neurons in the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus (ARC), leptin regulates body weight by stimulating energy expenditure and inhibiting food intake. The main signaling pathway of the leptin receptor is the JAK2-STAT3 pathway. A recent publication ...

Rocking on Pins

itotic spindle positioning involves a con-formational switch in LGN, the mammalian version of the invertebrate Pins protein, duces a spindle rocking that represents the first genetically manipulable model for studying spindle positioning in vertebrates. The switch operates via the opening of LGN, which can normally fold back onto itself. The unfolding is triggered by binding to either membrane-...

Rocking Stamper and Jumping Snakes from a Dynamical Systems Approach to Artificial Life

Dynamical systems offer intriguing possibilities as a substrate for the generation of behaviour due to their rich behavioural complexity. However this complexity together with the largely covert relation between the parameters and the behaviour of the agent is also the main hindrance in the goal oriented design of a behaviour system. The paper presents a general approach to the self-regulation ...
