The activity of neurons in the anterolateral cell group of the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST(ALG)) plays a critical role in anxiety- and stress-related behaviors. Histochemical studies have suggested that multiple distinct neuronal phenotypes exist in the BNST(ALG). Consistent with this observation, the physiological properties of BNST(ALG) neurons are also heterogeneous, and three ...

Under certain assumptions, the arrangements mentioned in the title are classified up to isotopy. Their algebraic realizability is discussed. §0. Introduction 0.1. Statement of main results. The connected components of the set of real points of a plane projective real curve are called branches. A branch is even (or an oval) if it is zero-homologous in RP. Otherwise it is odd (or a pseudoline). T...

Le but de ce texte est de d etailler la mani ere d'utiliser les objets caract eris es par ce que l'on appelle une propri et e universelle ; vous en avez rencontr e sans doute essentiellement en alg ebre (quotients divers, alg ebres de polynômes...) et en topologie (compl et e d'un espace m etrique, espace topologique quotient...). Pour bien les comprendre, et eviter de se laisser noyer dans la ...

We define an “algebraic” version of the Goodwillie tower, P alg n F (X), that depends only on the behavior of F on coproducts of X . When F is a functor to connected spaces or grouplike H-spaces, the functor P alg n F is the base of a fibration |⊥ F | → F → P alg n F, whose fiber is the simplicial space associated to a cotriple ⊥ built from the (n + 1) cross effect of the functor F . When the c...

Scheduling by Edge Reversal (SER) is a fully distributed scheduling mechanism based on the manipulation of acyclic orientations of a graph. This work uses SER to perform constraint partitioning of Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSP). In order to apply the SER mechanism, the graph representing the constraints must receive an acyclic orientation. Since obtaining an optimal acyclic orientation ...

Film dosage forms containing metronidazole (MZ) were prepared from natural polysaccharides, such as pullulan (PUL) or sodium alginate (ALG), without heating or controlling the pH. The release profiles of MZ from the films were investigated. In the absence of a drug, the casting method resulted in the polysaccharide forming a circular film, and the presence of MZ affected film formation. The thi...

on-Chip DTU Orbit (07/09/2017) A Scheduling Discipline for Latency and Bandwidth Guarantees in Asynchronous Network-on-Chip Guaranteed services (GS) are important in that they provide predictability in the complex dynamics of shared communication structures. This paper discusses the implementation of GS in asynchronous Network-on-Chip. We present a novel scheduling discipline called Asynchrono...

In the script there is a definition for the competitiveness of an algorithm. However, this definition only holds if we want to evaluate an algorithm by means of its costs. Sometimes, we want to compare algorithms regarding their benefit rather than their costs. In this case, we have to be a bit careful with the definition of a c-competitive algorithm. We say that an algorithm Alg is c-competiti...

During each life cycle, germ cells preserve and pass on both genetic and epigenetic information. In C. elegans, the ALG-3/4 Argonaute proteins are expressed during male gametogenesis and promote male fertility. Here, we show that the CSR-1 Argonaute functions with ALG-3/4 to positively regulate target genes required for spermiogenesis. Our findings suggest that ALG-3/4 functions during spermato...
