In the retinotectal projection, nasal retinal axons project to posterior tectum, while temporal axons project to the anterior part of the tectum. In in vitro experiments, a similar specificity can be observed: the nasal and temporal retinal axons can be guided by tectal membrane components so that, for example, temporal retinal axons, when growing on a striped substratum consisting of anterior ...

Synaptic vesicles are responsible for releasing neurotransmitters and are thus essential to brain function. The classical mode of vesicle recycling includes full collapse of the vesicle into the plasma membrane and clathrin-mediated regeneration of a new vesicle. In contrast, a nonclassical mode known as "kiss-and-run" features fusion by a transient fusion pore without complete loss of vesicle ...

STUDY QUESTION What is the effect of artificial shrinkage by laser-induced collapse before vitrification on the implantation potential after transfer of vitrified-warmed blastocysts? SUMMARY ANSWER The artificial shrinkage by laser-induced collapse did not significantly increase the implantation rate per transferred collapsed blastocyst (37.6%) compared with non-collapsed blastocysts (28.9%) ...

To attain the collapse of a diseased lung, wholly or partially, temporarily or permanently, is now an accepted aim in the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis. The object of the treatment is twofold. By collapsing the lung, healing is promoted by rest and the circulatory changes which collapse entails. The release of toxins and possibly also of living tubercle bacilli into the blood and lymph-st...

Since 1882, when Forlanini first offered a rationale for collapse in the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis, numerous clinical and experimental studies attempting to define the physiological effects of collapse of one lung have appeared. Most of the evidence cited by Pinner' supported the clinical impression that unilateral pneumothorax did not interfere with total respiratory function provide...

In view of the increasing advances in our knowledge of pulmonary tuberculosis it is indeed timely that we should, while none the less maintaining a progressive outlook, 'go wisely and slow-they stumble that run faster.' In other words, we should now pause to assess the situation in so far as the position of artificial pneumothorax in the sphere of collapse therapy is concerned, and ask ourselve...

A superconducting quantum circuit coupled to a tailored waveguide reservoir provides platform for exploring non-Markovian quantum-optical dynamics, in which the maintains memory of past events.

In this work we discuss examples of infinite abstract argumentation frameworks (AFs). Our focus is mainly on existence of extensions of semantics such as semi-stable and stage semantics, as opposed to the collapse where some argumentation frameworks prevent any extension. We visit known examples from the literature and present novel variants. Finally, we also give insights into extension existe...
