The dorsolateral striatum (DLS) receives extensive projections from primary somatosensory cortex (SI), but very few studies have used somesthetic stimulation to characterize the sensory coding properties of DLS neurons. In this study, we used computer-controlled whisker deflections to characterize the extracellular responses of DLS neurons in rats lightly anesthetized with isoflurane. When mult...

Background and Aims. For distal malignant biliary obstruction in cases with short life expectancy, occlusion of plastic stents (PSs) does not usually occur before death, and the application of such a procedure is considered adequate from the viewpoint of cost-effectiveness. Methods and Setting. A new commercially available DLS with side holes, a conventional DLS, and, uncovered self-expanding m...

The dorsolateral striatum (DLS) is critical for executing sensorimotor behaviors that depend on stimulus-response (S-R) associations. In rats, the DLS receives it densest inputs from primary somatosensory (SI) cortex, but it also receives substantial input from the thalamus. Much of rat DLS is devoted to processing whisker-related information, and thalamic projections to these whisker-responsiv...

OBJECTIVE-To estimate heritabilities and genetic correlations among 4 traits of hip joints (distraction index [DI], dorsolateral subluxation [DLS] score, Norberg angle [NA], and extended-hip joint radiograph [EHR] score) and to derive the breeding values for these traits in dogs. ANIMALS-2,716 dogs of 17 breeds (1,551 dogs in which at least 1 hip joint trait was measured). PROCEDURES-The NA was...

BACKGROUND In order to improve training performance, as well as avoid overloading during prevention and rehabilitation exercises in patients, the aim of this study was to understand the biomechanical differences in the knee, hip and the back between the exercises "Goodmornings" (GMs) and "Deadlifts" (DLs). METHODS The kinetics and kinematics of 13 subjects, performing GMs and DLs with an addi...

Stochastic Local Search (SLS) algorithms are of interest to a large number of research areas as well as business applications because they constitute some of the current best approaches to efficiently solve hard (NP-complete) combinatorial problems approximatively [1]. Satisfiability (SAT) problems, forming one of the most prominent type of NP-complete problems, are especially suitable for the ...

In this paper, we continue the recently started work on integrating action formalisms with description logics (DLs), by investigating planning in the context of DLs. We prove that the plan existence problem is decidable for actions described in fragments of ALCQIO. More precisely, we show that its computational complexity coincides with the one of projection for DLs between ALC and ALCQIO.

Digital Libraries (DLs) usually provide facilities for browsing and searching their collections, and can enhance noticeably learning activities. The integration of an annotation tool with a DL can foster knowledge exchange between instructors and learners. It is important that an annotation system for DLs should be easily integrated with existing DLs. This paper presents an annotation system, c...
