The purpose of these studies was to characterize the effects of agonists of the CB(1) cannabinoid receptor on cerebellar function in mice. We used two measures specific for cerebellar function: gait analysis and the bar cross test. CB(1) receptor agonists CP55940, Win 55212-2, Delta(9)-tetrahydrocannabinol, arachidonylethanolamide (AEA), and two AEA analogs with high affinity for the CB(1) rece...

We study the manner in which the effect of quasiperiodic modulation is transmitted in a coupled nonlinear dynamical system. A system of Rössler oscillators is considered, one of which is subject to driving, and the dynamics of other oscillators which are, in effect, indirectly forced is observed. Strange nonchaotic dynamics is known to arise only in quasiperiodically driven systems, and thus th...

OBJECTIVE This study sought to evaluate associations between sleep time and bicycle accidents, falls under various circumstances, and dental injuries in adolescents. METHODS A total of 61,696 participants ranging from 12 to 18 years of age who completed the Korea Youth Risk Behavior Web-based Survey (KYRBWS) in 2013 were enrolled in this study. Bicycle riding accidents were analyzed for 17,23...

Bacteria primarily exist in robust, surface-associated communities known as biofilms, ubiquitous in both natural and anthropogenic environments. Mature biofilms resist a wide range of antimicrobial treatments and pose persistent pathogenic threats. Treatment of adherent biofilm is difficult, costly, and, in medical systems such as catheters or implants, frequently impossible. At the same time, ...

Tensile tests of rolled Mg–6.2 mol%Li and Mg–11.7 alloys were carried out at room temperature to clarify effects lithium addition on the relationship between mechanical properties activities slip systems. Ductility increased with increasing content. 0.2% proof stress when 6.2 was added. However, showed low stress, compared pure magnesium. On other hand, maximum decreased Frequency non-basal sli...

The GNSS community is experiencing a new era with the development of the multi-GNSS and multi-frequency industry. For high-precision GNSS data processing with the use of carrier phase measurements, quality control steps, such as, cycle slip detection and repair, are essential. With the correct detection and repair of the cycle slips, the carrier phase measurements will not be lumped by the unkn...

OBJECTIVE Delay in diagnosis of slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) has important implications in terms of slip severity and long-term hip outcome. The purpose of this study was to identify predictors of delay in the diagnosis of SCFE. METHODS A review of 196 patients with SCFE was performed. The primary outcome measure was delay from onset of symptoms to diagnosis. Covariates included a...

Magnesium alloys containing long-period-stacking ordered (LPSO) phases have attracted considerable attention because they have been reported to exhibit excellent mechanical properties, including high strength and reasonable ductility. It is thought that the LPSO phase plays a critical role in producing these favorable mechanical properties. We analyze the deformation behavior of the LPSO phases...

Within the Gross-Pitaevskii theory, we study precursory pattern formations to nucleation of vortex dipoles in a two-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensate stirred by Gaussian potential. We introduce smooth superfluid vorticity field and its conservative current, which capture very well gradual process as mechanism topological singularities acquiring cores. This is characterized localization into ...

Superhydrophobic coatings and slippery liquid-infused porous surfaces (SLIPS) have shown their potentials in self-cleaning, anti-icing, anti-erosion, antibiofouling applications. Various studies been done on controlling the droplet impact such using passive methods as modifying lubricant layer thickness SLIPS. Despite effectiveness, lack on-demand control over dynamics of droplets. This paper i...
