The present study is the first kinematic study to investigate the speech production of ET patients with VIM-DBS. More specifically, it explores the coordination patterns of articulatory gestures in syllables with simple and complex onsets, CV and CCV, in German. It provides a preliminary analysis of gestural coordination under stimulation for the target words /lima/ and /klima/ in the framework...

Color Histogram is considered as the oldest method used by CBIR systems for indexing images. In turn, the global histograms do not include the spatial information; this is why the other techniques coming later have attempted to encounter this limitation by involving the segmentation task as a preprocessing step. The weak segmentation is employed by the local histograms while other methods as CC...

Clathrin-mediated endocytosis is the major process by which transmembrane proteins are internalized from the cell's limiting membrane into the first compartment of the endosomal system, the early endosome. From here, these transmembrane cargo proteins, which are of widely varying type and function, are trafficked to their required destination. Endocytosis plays, therefore, an important role in ...

THE presence of vitamin A in specimens of casein not subjected to treatment for effecting its removal or destruction has been assumed from the early days of research on vitamins. "Light white" casein (sodium caseinate), a form of casein much used in nutritional experiments, was examined as a source of vitamin A for rats by Culhane [1933]. She found that its use as the protein constituent of a b...

Ten of 11 cell lines, recently established from the snout (MS-SN), periorbital soft tissue (MS-EY), liver (MS-LV), kidney (MS-KD), lung (MS-LG), spleen (MS-SP), heart (MS-HT), thyroid (MS-TY), brain (MS-BR) and urinary bladder (MS-UB) of a juvenile Hawaiian monk seal Monachus schauinslandi, were evaluated in vitro for their susceptibility to 5 mammalian viruses: herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV...

Superfusion of the squid giant synapse with artificial seawater (ASW) based on isotonic saline containing oxygen nanobubbles (RNS60 ASW) generates an enhancement of synaptic transmission. This was determined by examining the postsynaptic response to single and repetitive presynaptic spike activation, spontaneous transmitter release, and presynaptic voltage clamp studies. In the presence of RNS6...
