Although extinction-based therapies are among the most effective treatments for anxiety disorders, the neural bases of fear extinction remain still essentially unclear. Recent evidence suggests that the intercalated cell masses of the amygdala (ITCs) are critical structures for fear extinction. However, the neuronal organization of ITCs and how distinct clusters contribute to different fear sta...

This paper evaluates the influence of several parameters on the potential of using increased thermal capacitance (ITC) as a passive energy management technique to decrease a building’s cooling load. ITC is implemented by circulating water from a storage tank through a piping system located in the building’s ceiling. The cooling load of the ITC enhanced building is compared to the cooling load o...

The meals from many oilseed crops have potential for biofumigation due to their release of biocidal compounds such as isothiocyanates (ITCs). Various ITCs are known to inhibit numerous pathogens; however, much less is known about how the soil microbial community responds to the different types of ITCs released from oilseed meals (SMs). To simulate applying ITC-releasing SMs to soil, we amended ...

Isothiocyanates (ITCs), degradation products of glucosinolates (which occur naturally in a variety of cruciferous vegetables), have been shown to exhibit chemopreventive activity. These compounds are metabolized in vivo to form the corresponding dithiocarbamates, which are the major urinary metabolites of ITCs, by a pathway involving the glutathione S-transferase (GST) class of enzymes. Using a...

BACKGROUND. Findings of isolated (disseminated or circulating) tumor cells (ITC) by immunocytochemistry and molecular pathology methods have led to varied interpretations and different applications of the TNM system. METHODS. An analysis of the relevant literature was undertaken. In addition, optional proposals for the classification of ITC, micrometastasis, and cytologic results in pleural and...

Sensitive and specific tests for detecting exogenous DNA molecules are useful for infectious disease diagnosis, gene therapy clinical trial safety, and gene doping surveillance. Taqman real-time PCR using specific sequence probes provides an effective approach to accurately and quantitatively detect exogenous DNA. However, one of the major challenges in these analyses is to eliminate false posi...

ITC IS COOL. How can this be, you ask? This is the International Test Conference’s 36th year, which makes it a middle-aged conference; and, as anyone who has ever been middle-aged knows, being cool at this time of life is a serious challenge. Combovers, designer sunglasses, wheel spinners, and Good Charlotte CDs aren’t really options for a conference, so how can ITC be cool? A simple answer is ...

Intercultural Teaching Competence (ITC) is essential for teaching in increasingly diverse primary schools. However, research has not sufficiently addressed the meaning and development of ITC, including whether study abroad during teacher education contributes to dimensions included. Therefore, this seeks determine which ITC respondent teachers report there a difference between with or without e...

This paper aims to underline the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) contributions in survey implementations. We used ICT tools Chad Malaria Indicators Survey (CMIS). found are revolutionizing surveys. Their implementation considerably improves operations by eliminating some over budgeting steps, enriching quality of data facilitating manipulations. bringing leads us highlight cont...

in traditional bazaars social interactions, parallel to economic and movement interactions, created a mixed urban space which was dynamic, lively and attractive to the audience. however, modern shopping centers and shopping malls are economy focused and void of variety of urban spaces like traditional bazaars. the presence of public open spaces and urban squares undetectable from traditional ba...
