The differentiation of a proliferating neural progenitor into a postmitotic neuronal cell is a critical transition during mammalian neural development. During this time period, extensive cell lineage commitments are formed based on signals from dorsoventral and anteroposterior signaling centers (Altmann and Brivanlou, 2001; Briscoe et al., 2000; Chiang et al., 1996; Lee et al., 2000). These sig...

Nickels, L., Rapp, B., and Kohnen, S. (2015. Challenges in the use of treatment to investigate cognition. Cognitive Neuropsychology, 32, 91-103) argue that impairment and treatment may be used to test computational models of cognition. They state that, contrary to their view, the authors of the WEAVER++ model of spoken word production have explicitly rejected simulation of impairment [i.e., Lev...

The diagnosis of ND begins with its characterization as either a physiological or pathological condition (Simmons et al., 2003). Physiological discharge, often a manifestation of breast manipulation, is usually bilateral, is white or green, and emanates from many ducts (Simmons et al., 2003). Possible causes of persistent physiological discharge include oral contraceptives, antihypertensives, t...

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of knowledge management capabilities and information technology capabilities on innovative performance with the mediating role of organizational entrepreneurship, organizational learning and competitive advantage. The research method is descriptive-survey. The statistical population consists of all employees of Shimifar Iran Company, and 137 peo...

The study aims at investigating the influence of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students' perfectionism and anxiety on their Willingness to Communicate (WTC) in EFL classes. To do so, a set of questionnaires, namely “Willingness To Communicate” (MacIntyre, et al., 2001), “Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety” (Horwitz, et al., 1986)  and “Multidimensional Perfectionism Scales” (Hewitt & Flet...

We calculate evolution and nucleosynthesis in massive Pop III stars with M = 13 ∼ 270M⊙, and compare the results with abundances of very metal-poor halo stars. The observed abundances can be explained by the energetic core-collapse supernovae with M ∼ < 130M⊙ (“hypernovae”) but not by pair-instability supernovae (PISNe) with M ∼ 140 − 270M⊙. This result constrain the IMF for the Pop III and ver...

Local translation of certain mRNAs at synapses in response to activation critically contributes to asymmetric cell polarity and synaptic plasticity (Kiebler and DesGroseillers, 2000; Steward and Schuman, 2001; St Johnston, 2005). The double-stranded RNA-binding protein Staufen has been implicated both in dendritic RNA transport and translational regulation (Tang et al., 2001; Kim et al., 2005)....

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is common in critically ill patients affecting 20 60% of patients (Chertow, et al., 2005; de Mendonca, et al., 2000; Mehta, et al., 2005; Ostermann & Chang, 2008; Silvester, et al., 2001; Uchino, et al., 2005). The exact incidence varies depending on patient population, associated comorbid factors and criteria used to define AKI. Sepsis induced AKI accounts for approxi...
