(Perron et al., 1999). However, there are relatively few the sensory structures take on one of two alternative fates (Gupta and Rodrigues, 1997; Goulding et al., 2000). experiments in which the comparative potential of different proneural proteins has been analyzed directly. The In conclusion, the identification of amos highlights the importance of proneural proteins in contributing to results ...

This study mapped the personality and genetics of risky excitement-seekers focusing on skydiving behavior. We compared 298 skydivers to demographically matched controls across NEO Personality Inventory-3 domains, facets, 240 items. The most significant item-level effects were aggregated into a poly-item score skydiving-associated markers (Study 1), where higher scores describe individuals who e...

Institutions of Higher Education aim at conducting both education and research (medical ones add patients’ care). Indeed education without research is simply reciting past obsolete mantras. Research is the discovery of the still unknown, trying to make sense of it, attempting to include it into a current set of projects, discussing it with colleagues (or students!) from other disciplines or bac...

In late 2004 Google announced two major projects, the unveiling of Google Scholar and a major expansion of the Google Print digitization program. Both projects have generated discussion within the library and research communities, and Google Print has received significant media attention.This commentary describes exciting educational possibilities stimulated by Google Scholar, and argues for ca...

Purpose – This paper seeks to examine the antecedents of online shopper excitement, its consequences for behavioural intentions as expressed by intent to return, and positive word-of-mouth communication. Design/methodology/approach – A conceptual model is developed based on the literature. Instrument item scales to measure all constructs in the model were as informed by the literature and adapt...

Effects of histamine H1-receptor antagonists on L-dopa-induced behavioral excitement were examined in mice to confirm behaviorally the inhibition of dopamine uptake by these compounds. L-Dopa (100-300 mg/kg, s.c.) combined with pargyline hydrochloride (80 mg/kg, i.p.) caused a dose-dependent behavioral excitement. The marked excitement induced by L-dopa (300 mg/kg) plus pargyline was significan...

We propose in this paper a method for extracting highlights from a sport TV broadcast. Unlike the existing highlights-extracting approaches our method does not require modeling of domainspecific events that are supposed to be interpreted by the user as highlights. Instead, we search for highlights at places where strong excitement is evoked in the user by the content of a video. It is namely re...
