The photoionization and fragmentation dynamics of ClN have been examined using 203 nm excitation with (2+1) REMPI detection of the N product. Kinetic energy and angular distributions of N and NCl were characterized by velocity map imaging. The N product was formed with appreciable rotational excitation, with population in levels as high as J=90. Velocity map images for the J=50 fragment showed ...

Sensory systems provide organisms with information on the current status of the environment, thus enabling adaptive behavior. The neural mechanisms by which sensory information is exploited for action selection are typically studied with mammalian subjects performing perceptual decision-making tasks, and most of what is known about these mechanisms at the single-neuron level is derived from cor...

The neuronal lipofuscinoses (NCLs) are described as a complex of inherited neurodegenerative disorders associated with intralysosomal accumulation of lipopigment in neuronal and extraneuronal cells. Morphologic pathology in NCL is marked by two processes: degeneration and loss of neuronal cells of central nervous system, resulting in atrophy of the cerebrum and cerebellum and widespread accumul...

Immortal mast cell lines, such as RBL-2H3 and HMC-1 cells, are commonly utilized to investigate the function of mast cells. However, they are tumor cells carrying a gain-of-function mutation of Kit. We established an immortal mast cell line without Kit mutation, NCL-2, derived from NC mouse bone marrow. NCL-2 cells could be maintained without additional growth factors and thus could respond to ...

We studied three methods to improve identification of difficult small classes by balancing imbalanced class distribution with data reduction. The new method, neighborhood cleaning rule (NCL), outperformed simple random and one-sided selection methods in experiments with ten data sets. All reduction methods improved identification of small classes (20-30%), but the differences were insignificant...

The paper presents a network modeling tool called Net-Clause Language (NCL), integrating some connectionist-like and some symbolic processing features in a uniied computational environment. Unlike the other connectionist symbol processing approaches, NCL represents and processes symbols not by implementing them as patterns of activity in a traditional neural network, rather it uses some connect...

One of the challenging tasks in protein science is function determination, as coded its amino acid sequence. At present, pace sequencing far ahead annotation, i.e., assignment. Surprisingly, conventional views acids are appearing to be hindering this task. In study, we find that current acids, both evolutionary and chemical, seen incomplete conveying their function. This study highlights an alt...

The study aim of this was to define the critical anatomic region of the premaxilla by evaluating dimensions of nasopalatine canal, buccal bone plate (BBP) and palatal bone plate (PBP). 230 CBCTs were selected with both, one or no upper central incisors present (+/+, -/+, -/-) and periodontal condition was evaluated. T-student test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation and a multivariant-linear regressi...

Extinction is a unique learning process that requires the alteration of stimulus-response associations such that the organism ceases to respond to a previously rewarded stimulus. Extinction is mostly studied with fear conditioning and is impaired by lesions of the prefrontal cortex as well as by blockade of NMDA receptors in the amygdala. Because previous tasks could not clearly disambiguate ex...

A total of 96 pigs (49.23±3.20 kg) were used in an 11 wk growth trial to evaluate the effect of fermentable carbohydrate (FC) content on growth performance, apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) of nutrient, blood profile, and meat quality. The dietary treatments were: i) negative control (NC), basal diet, ii) positive control (PC), NC+antibiotics (positive control diet with 5 ppm flavomyci...
