Soybean leaves contain three proteins (the vegetative storage proteins or VSPs) that respond to nitrogen status and are believed to be involved in the temporary storage of nitrogen. One of these proteins, with a molecular mass of 94 kD and termed vsp94, was microsequenced. Partial amino acid sequence indicated that vsp94 was highly homologous to the lipoxygenase protein family. Further evidence...

Executive function is considered to be a product of the coordinated operation of various processes to accomplish a particular goal in a flexible manner. The mechanism or system responsible for the coordinated operation of various processes is called executive control. Impairments caused by damage to the prefrontal cortex are often called dysexecutive syndromes. Therefore, the prefrontal cortex ...

The benzodiazepine Midazolam causes dense, but temporary, anterograde amnesia, similar to that produced by hippocampal damage. Does the action of Midazolam on the hippocampus cause less storage, or less accurate storage, of information in episodic long-term memory? We used a simple variant of the REM model [18] to fit data collected by Hirshman, Fisher, Henthorn, Arndt, and Passannante [9] on t...

Embedded systems typically have limited processing and storage capabilities, may only intermittently be powered on. After sending an event upstreams with data from its sensors, the system must therefore able to trust that data, once acknowledged, is not lost. The purpose of this work propose a novel solution for replicating between nodes in such systems, minimal effect on software architecture....

Storage of sensitive and/or business critical data on portable USB attachable mass storage devices is a common practice. The ability to transport large volumes of data from the standard place of work and then access and process the data on an available PC at a different location provides both convenience and flexibility. However, use of such USB attachable mass storage devices presents two majo...
