The question of how spatially organized activity in the visual cortex behaves during eyes-closed, lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD)-induced "psychedelic imagery" (e.g., visions of geometric patterns and more complex phenomena) has never been empirically addressed, although it has been proposed that under psychedelics, with eyes-closed, the brain may function "as if" there is visual input when th...

Lumpy skin disease (LSD) is a severe viral disease of cattle. Circumstantial evidence suggests that the virus is transmitted mechanically by blood-feeding arthropods. We compared the importance of transmission via direct and indirect contact in field conditions by using mathematical tools. We analyzed a dataset collected during the LSD outbreak in 2006 in a large dairy herd, which included ten ...

This paper discusses the development and construction of a new system for robust, obscured object recognition by means of Partial Evidence Reconstruction From Object Restricted Measures (PERFORM). This new approach employs a partial evidence accrual approach to form both an object identity metric and an object pose estimate. The partial evidence information is obtained by applying several insta...

Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) has been studied extensively with respect to its actions upon monoamine pathways. The central 5-hydroxytryptamine (5HT) system has been the object of the most extensive investigation (1-3), but catecholamine systems have also received substantial attention (4,5). Nearly two decades of research point to the conclusion that LSD impedes transmission in 5HT-containi...

Computer Aided Design systems provide tools for building and manipulating models of solid objects. Some also provide access to programming languages so that parametrised designs can be expressed. There is a sharp distinction, therefore, between building models, a concrete graphical editing activity, and programming, an abstract, textual, algorithm-construction activity. The recently proposed La...

LSD is an ambiguous substance, said to mimic psychosis and to improve mental health in people suffering from anxiety and depression. Little is known about the neuronal correlates of altered states of consciousness induced by this substance. Limited previous studies indicated profound changes in functional connectivity of resting state networks after the administration of LSD. The current invest...

This manuscript describes an update of the leaf senescence database (LSD) previously featured in the 2011 NAR Database Issue. LSD provides comprehensive information concerning senescence-associated genes (SAGs) and their corresponding mutants. We have made extensive annotations for these SAGs through both manual and computational approaches. Recently, we updated LSD to a new version LSD 2.0 (ht...
