The mechanism for the earliest response of central neurons to hypoxia-an increase in voltage-gated sodium current (INa)-has been unknown. Here, we show that hypoxia activates the Small Ubiquitin-like Modifier (SUMO) pathway in rat cerebellar granule neurons (CGN) and that SUMOylation of NaV1.2 channels increases INa. The time-course for SUMOylation of single NaV1.2 channels at the cell surface ...

In this contribution, the design, collection, annotation and planned distribution of a new spoken language resource of Afrikaans (SALAR) is discussed. The corpus contains speech of mother tongue speakers of Afrikaans, and is intended to become a primary national language resource for phonetic research and research on pronunciation variations. As such, the corpus is designed to expose pronunciat...

The behavior of games repeated in parallel, when played with quantumly entangled players, has received much attention in recent years. Quantum analogues of Raz’s classical parallel repetition theorem have been proved for many special classes of games. However, for general entangled games no parallel repetition theorem was known. We prove that the entangled value of a two-player game G repeated ...

In this paper we study speaker linking (a.k.a. partitioning) given constraints of the distribution of speaker identities over speech recordings. Specifically, we show that the intractable partitioning problem becomes tractable when the constraints pre-partition the data in smaller cliques with non-overlapping speakers. The surprisingly common case where speakers in telephone conversations are k...

Within the STEVIN1 project Large Scale Syntactic Annotation of written Dutch (LASSY), a manually corrected treebank of 1 million words is constructed. Lassy is part of a series of annotation projects for modern written and spoken Dutch. More specifically, it is an extension of the D-Coi and CGN projects,2 and constitutes the core of SoNaR, a 500 million words reference corpus of modern written ...

In a previous paper we proposed a preconditioning technique that generalizes an idea by M. Griebel. In this generalization, although all considerations are presented in a very general algebraic framework, the main idea behind them is to use as preconditioner a rectangular matrix constructed with the transfer operators between successive discretization levels of the initial problem. In this way ...

DNA methylation at cytosine residues governs the regulation of stress responsive genes in plant for self-protection against various environmental abiotic stresses. Here, we analyzed epigenetic consequences drought and salinity on dynamics promoter regions Germin-like protein rice (Oryza sativa). The bisulfite sequencing technique was employed to identify differential status selected three OsGLP...
