The encoding of experiences in the brain and the consolidation of long-term memories depend on gene transcription. Identifying the function of specific genes in encoding experience is one of the main objectives of molecular neuroscience. Furthermore, the functional association of defined genes with specific behaviors has implications for understanding the basis of neuropsychiatric disorders. In...

Designing relevant animal models in order to investigate the neurobiological basis for human mental disorders is an important challenge. The need for new tests to be developed and traditional tests to be improved has recently been emphasized. The authors propose a multivariate test approach, the multivariate concentric square field (MCSF) test. To measure and evaluate variation in the behaviora...

We propose a unified, low-overhead framework (ULF) to support continuous system profiling and optimization based on a specifically designed embedded board. Instead of building a new profiling tool from scratch, ULF provides a unified interface to integrate various existing profiling tools and optimizers, and helps to easily build future tools. ULF uses an embedded processor to offload tasks of ...

background: ovarian cancer is the most fatal tumor of female's reproductive system, and several genetics and environmental factors are involved in its development. various studies have already identified suitable biomarkers to facilitate the early detection, prognosis evaluation, and the assessment of treatment response. however, the aim of this review was to investigate the role of long n...

We consider structure with single quantum well InP 5 nm thick grown by vapor phase epitaxy on n-GaP wafer. By classical capacitance-voltage profiling of Schottky diode sample and electrochemical profiling, electron accumulation were detected in layer so existence is confirmed. Results admittance spectroscopy deep-level transient showed defect formation GaP layers above energy position Ec-0.21 e...

Although consumer profiling advocates tout benefits from personalization, consumer advocacy groups oppose profiling in online markets because of concerns about privacy and price discrimination. Policies such as opt-out or opt-in that provide consumers the option to voluntarily participate in profiling are the favored compromise. We compare voluntary profiling to no profiling and show that volun...

objectives: major depression and anxiety disorders are common psychiatric disorders among cancer patients and are associated with psychosocial impairment and decreased quality of life. depressed and anxious cancer patients also experience a more rapid progression of cancer symptoms, increased mortality, more metastasis and pain, and increased medical utilization. although some research has expl...

background : behavioral disorders in children have relationship with decrease in learning and educational progress in childhood and cause behavioral disorders in adulthood. this study aimed to determine the prevalence of behavioral disorders in iranian children. methods: in this cross-sectional descriptive study, all of the first grade students in three school levels all over the country were e...

Criminal profiling is the process of using crime scene evidence to make inferences about potential suspects, including personality characteristics and psychopathology. An exploratory Internet survey of forensic psychologists and psychiatrists was conducted to examine their experiences with and opinions about profiling and to determine whether referring to profiling as “criminal investigative an...
