Background: Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) occurs based on the continuous deficit in a person’s verbal skills, visual, auditory, touch, and social behavior. Over the last two decades, one of the most important approaches in studying brain functions in autistic persons is using functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI). Objectives: It is common to use all brain regions in functional extracti...

Evergreens in science are papers that display a continual rise in annual citations without decline, at least within a sufficiently long time period. Aiming to better understand evergreens in particular and patterns of citation trajectory in general, this paper develops a functional data analysis method to cluster citation trajectories of a sample of 1699 research papers published in 1980 in the...

It is known that in the field of learning theory based on reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces the upper bounds estimate for a K-functional is needed. In the present paper, the upper bounds for the K-functional on the unit sphere are estimated with spherical harmonics approximation. The results show that convergence rate of the K-functional depends upon the smoothness of both the approximated func...

This paper is concerned with the existence of mild solutions of some classes of initial value problem for firstand second-order impulsive semilinear functional and neutral functional differential equations. Initially, we will consider initial value problems for firstorder impulsive semilinear functional differential equations y′(t)−Ay(t) = f (t, yt), a.e. t ∈ J := [0,b], t = tk, k = 1, . . . ,m...

Cloning and sequencing of cDNAs isolated from a rat cortex cDNA library reveals that a gene family encodes several highly homologous K+ channel forming (RCK) proteins. Functional characterization of the channels expressed in Xenopus laevis oocytes following microinjection of in vitro transcribed RCK-specific RNAs shows that each of the RCK proteins forms K+ channels that differ greatly in both ...

The neuronal K-Cl cotransporter isoform (KCC2) was functionally expressed in human embryonic kidney (HEK-293) cell lines. Two stably transfected HEK-293 cell lines were prepared: one expressing an epitope-tagged KCC2 (KCC2-22T) and another expressing the unaltered KCC2 (KCC2-9). The KCC2-22T cells produced a glycoprotein of ∼150 kDa that was absent from HEK-293 control cells. The 86Rb influx in...
