Two dorsal paired medial (DPM) neurons express the Amnesiac neuropeptide and project onto mushroom bodies, the Drosophila olfactory memory center. In this issue of Neuron, Keene et al. show that higher-level brain circuits process various olfactory memories differently. DPM neurons are required during acquisition of some odors and during memory consolidation of others. These findings reveal a s...

In the drug promotion process, pharmaceutical companies make many claims about the efficacy, safety and ‘quality’ of the products. These claims should be clear, valid and justifiable. In scientific literature, each claim should be supported by evidence. Therefore, they are expected to provide evidence to support the claims made in DPM. The high quality references increase the authenti-city of t...

The origin of plateau action potentials was studied in short-term cultures of dorsal paired median (DPM) neurons dissociated from the terminal abdominal ganglion of the cockroach, Periplaneta americana. Spontaneous plateau action potentials were recorded by intracellular microelectrodes in cell bodies that had neurite stumps. These action potentials featured a fast initial depolarization follow...

Deformable part models achieve high precision in pedestrian recognition, but all publicly available implementations are too slow for real-time applications. We implemented a deformable part model algorithm fast enough for real-time use by exploiting information about the camera position and orientation. This implementation is both faster and more precise than alternative DPM implementations. Th...

Successful application of dual permeability models (DPM) to predict contaminant transport is contingent upon measured or inversely estimated soil hydraulic and solute transport parameters. The difficulty in unique identification of parameters for the additional macropore- and matrix-macropore interface regions, and knowledge about requisite experimental data for DPM has not been resolved to dat...

Diesel engines have been a mainstay within many industries since the early 1900s. Exposure to diesel particulate matter (DPM) is a major issue in many industrial workplaces given the potential for serious health impacts to exposed workers; including the potential for lung cancer and adverse irritant and cardiovascular effects. Personal respiratory protective devices are an accepted safety measu...

The Lightweight SRM Evaluation is a project operated by the UK Grid Engineering Taskforce (ETF). Its purpose is to evaluate a lightweight Storage Resource Manager (SRM) implementation, namely the Disk Pool Manager (DPM) software developed by CERN, for suitability for production deployments on the UK National Grid Service infrastructure. DPM is lightweight in that it implements SRM protocol serv...

Unlike the core structural elements of a protein like regular secondary structure, template based modeling (TBM) has difficulty with loop regions due to their variability in sequence and structure as well as the sparse sampling from a limited number of homologous templates. We present a novel, knowledge-based method for loop sampling that leverages homologous torsion angle information to estima...

40 min after a single injection of 50 μCi of tritiated thymidine a 3 mm punch of DBA-1 mouse skin contains about 1000 dpm . This value remains constant for at least 48 hr after injection . 50 hair follicles contain about 40 dpm, and from these values the activity calculated to reside in the basal layer of a 3 mm punch of skin is 760 dpm . These values also remain constant with time after inject...

Energy consumption has become a first-class optimization goal in design and implementation of dataintensive computing systems. This is particularly true in the design of database management systems (DBMS), which was found to be the major consumer of energy in the software stack of modern data centers. Among all database components, the storage system is one of the most power-hungry elements. In...
