Neural regions in the dorsomedial frontal cortex (DMFC), including the supplementary eye field (SEF) and the presupplementary motor area (pre-SMA), are likely candidates for generating top-down control of saccade target selection. To investigate this, we applied electrical microstimulation to these structures while saccades were being planned to visual targets. Stimulation administered to super...

Somatostatin receptor type II expression in the mammalian brain displays a spatially and temporally very restricted pattern. In an investigation of the molecular mechanisms controlling these patterns, we have recently shown that binding of the transcription factor SEF-2 to a novel initiator element in the SSTR-2 promoter is essential for SSTR-2 gene expression. Further characterization of the p...

Linum usitatissimum Linn. is a widely acclaimed medicinal plant used in every household. The seeds of L. usitatissimum have both medicinal and nutraceutical properties.The study was conducted to evaluate the anti-hypertensive effect of aqueous extract with Secoisolariciresinol Diglucoside (SDG) enriched fraction (SEF) of defatted flaxseeds on fructose-induced hypertension in rats.Hypertension w...

0001 From cooking to playing the piano, our activities consist of simple motions that we string together for specifi c purposes. When we learn a new recipe or piano sonata, we memorize the elemental gestures of the trade as well as the precise order in which they must occur to produce a coq au vin or “Moonlight Sonata.” And when we start cooking or playing, we somehow summon the sequence of mov...

Abstract Introduction/Objective Sclerosing Epithelioid Fibrosarcoma (SEF) is a rare sarcoma with characteristic EWSR1::CREB3L1 fusion and MUC4 positivity by immunohistochemistry (IHC). SEF most often presents as primary soft tissue tumor in the lower extremities. Histologically, characterized cords, nests or sheets of monotonous, epithelioid cells dense collagenous background. We report case an...

Noise performance of the switched emitter follower (SEF) track and hold (TH) amplifier is analyzed. Simulations based on a commercial available 130 nm SiGe HBT process technology are implemented with the SpectreRF circuit simulator. It is shown that both the thermal noise and shot noise contribute to the TH amplifier (THA) at ultra high frequency. Simulations also locate the major noise contrib...

We demonstrate a methodology to prepare Au-core-Ag-shell nanoparticles displaying both SERS and surface-enhanced fluorescence (SEF) activities simultaneously by embedding dye molecules between the core and the shell. Polyelectrolytes are used to adjust the spacing and the dye position between the core and the shell. Layer-by-layer polyelectrolyte deposition can serve as an effective and flexibl...

Despite the significant research on impact of social media in people's lives, little is known about extent to which impacts compulsive buying behaviour (CBB). Moreover, previous studies this relationship sampled heterosexual or non-sexually identified populations. This study addresses gap knowledge by examining use and its addiction CBB, together with moderating influence self-efficacy (SEF), t...

Typhoon Hagibis (2019) was a large and intense tropical cyclone that had significant societal impacts in Japan. It went through period of explosive rapid intensification (RI), with an increase maximum wind speed from 60 kt to 160 24 h, immediately followed by secondary eyewall formation (SEF) replacement cycle (ERC). Operational forecasts COAMPS-TC (Coupled Ocean/Atmosphere Mesoscale Prediction...
