Interaction of afferent influences from pontine nuclei (NRTP, NPL and NPM) and inferior olive (IO) with influences from the cortex of neocerebellum (Crus I and II of hemisphere) was studied in dentate neurons (ND) in anesthetized and immobilized cats. Interaction of converging influences was tested with regard to response latencies. Activation of pontine nuclei (NP) and IO as well as cerebellar...

Understanding the coercivity mechanism has a substantial impact on developing novel permanent materials. However, the current coercivity mechanisms used widely in permanent alloys cannot explain well the amorphous phase produced hard magnetic behavior of Nd-based bulk amorphous alloys (BAAs). Here, we propose that the coercivity in as-cast Nd60Fe30Al10 alloy is from the combination of magnetic ...

Altered DNA methylation in addiction-related genes may modify the susceptibility to alcohol or drug dependence (AD or ND). We profiled peripheral blood DNA methylation levels of 384 CpGs in promoter regions of 82 addiction-related genes in 256 African Americans (AAs) (117 cases with AD-ND codependence and 139 controls) and 196 European Americans (103 cases with AD-ND codependence and 93 control...

In many multi-agent applications such as distributed sensor nets, a network of agents act collaboratively under uncertainty and local interactions. Networked Distributed POMDP (ND-POMDP) provides a framework to model such cooperative multi-agent decision making. Existing work on ND-POMDPs has focused on offline techniques that require accurate models, which are usually costly to obtain in pract...

This paper reports the dopant ion (Nd) concentration effects on its luminescence properties in a new glass system based on barium-alumino-metaphosphates. Amongst the studied concentrations range of 0.276 – 13.31 x 10 ions/cm, the glass with 2.879 x 10 ions/cm (1 mol%) Ndconcentration shows intense NIR emission from F3/2 excited state, followed by a decrease in emission intensity for further inc...

The tensile and compression fatigue deformation tests of AZ31 magnesium alloy were carried out at room temperature, the activation behavior {10-12}-{10-12} secondary twins in different loading directions (ND normal direction, RD rolling direction) strain amplitude (0.5%, 1%) was studied. results showed that observed on fracture surface samples ND 1%. In contrast, no 0.5% nor 1% 0.5%, life great...

We investigate the capability of DUNE near detector (ND) to constrain nonstandard interaction parameters (NSIs) describing production neutrinos $({ϵ}_{\ensuremath{\alpha}\ensuremath{\beta}}^{s})$ and their detection $({ϵ}_{\ensuremath{\alpha}\ensuremath{\beta}}^{d})$. show that ND is able reject a large portion parameter space allowed by far analyses set most stringent bounds from accelerator n...
