Design of heavy earthmoving equipment is based primarily on feedback from drivers. Most design studies on ingress and egress focus on the motion itself and rely heavily on experimental data. This process requires physical construction of expensive (in terms of time and money) mockups before any feedback can be obtained. Postfeedback design changes and the analysis of those changes are again exp...

Cell-specific and light-regulated expression of the beta-glucuronidase (GUS) reporter gene from maize cab-m1 and rbcS-m3 promoter sequences was studied in maize leaf segments by using an in situ transient expression microprojectile bombardment assay. The cab-m1 gene is known to be strongly photoregulated and to be expressed almost exclusively in mesophyll cells (MC) but not in bundle sheath cel...

During recent years many experiments have demonstrated the usefulness of antimetabolites for studying routes of metabolism. Competitive inhibitors have been used to block specific enzyme systems and to establish enzyme-substrate relationships, and the compounds produced by the action of these enzyme systems have been characterized through their ability to enhance the reversal of the inhibitors ...

Catastrophic interference has been a major roadblock in the research of continual learning. Here we propose a variant of the back-propagation algorithm, “conceptor-aided back-prop” (CAB), in which gradients are shielded by conceptors against degradation of previously learned tasks. Conceptors have their origin in reservoir computing, where they have been previously shown to overcome catastrophi...

When a patient presents to the emergency department with a neurologic deficit and a cerebrovascular event is included in the differential diagnosis, the classic recommendation is to examine the carotid artery and assess for the presence of a bruit. The diagnostic yield and utility of this practice has seldom been called into question. This critical appraisal will review the practice of listenin...

Method Between 2006 and 2014, 72 patients met criteria for inclusion. Out of these 72, 59 had previous CAB and 13 had CAB + AVR. The surgical procedures performed in these series included 50 AVR and 22 AVR + CAB. Myocardial protection was delivered using mild systemic hypothermia and continuous cold blood retrograde and intermittent antegrade cardioplegia, avoiding any manipulation of the LIMA ...

Community Advisory Boards (CABs) often form the structure for involving community members in a partnership, and can play an important role as collaborators, gatekeepers to bridge between communities research institutions. In recognition of this, Bagamoyo Board was established 2007, aiming properly educate empower elected CAB become full partners all activities concerning public within area. Und...

Immunocyochemical labeling was applied to follow the developmental changes in the calcium-binding proteins parvalbumin (PV), calbindin D28k (CaB), and calretinin (CaR) during fetal and infant development of Macaca monkey dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN). For all three proteins, LGN cell body and retinal ganglion cell (RGC) axon labeling patterns changed temporally and spatially over deve...
