BACKGROUND Psychosis is associated with volumetric decreases of cortical structures. Whether these volumetric decreases imply abnormalities in cortical thickness, surface, or cortical folding is not clear. Due to differences in cytoarchitecture, cortical gyri and sulci might be differentially affected by psychosis. Therefore, we examined differences in gyral and sulcal cortical thickness, surfa...

In this paper, we investigate novel low-dimensional and model-free representations for multi-spectral fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (m-FLIM) data. We depart from the classical definition of the phasor in the complex plane to propose the extended output phasor (EOP) and extended phasor (EP) for multi-spectral information. The frequency domain properties of the EOP and EP are analytica...

Abstract We study the holographic entanglement measures such as mutual information, HMI, and of purification, EoP, in a QCD model at finite temperature zero chemical potential. This can realize various types phase transitions including crossover, first order second transitions. use HMI EoP to probe structure this we find that critical they characterize model. Moreover obtain exponent using EoP.

We employ EOP definitions that have appeared in the philosophical literature on distributive justice, and apply it to a formal economic model which incorporates human capital investment and luck within and across generations. The human capital acquisition technology features multiple stages of parental investments during childhood, and on-the-job investments in adulthood. The benchmark model fe...

rst two terms in the above expression correspond to the case in which no losses take place and n ? 1 cells are accepted from the N ? 1 sources in addition to one cell from the tagged source. In the next two terms, losses may take place with at least n cells arriving from the N ? 1 sources. The tagged source does not enter the blocked state in this case, but it may have encountered loss. Notice ...

Biological, and particularly antimicrobial, activities have been demonstrated for the essential oil of propolis samples worlwide, yet their mutagenic effects remain unknown. To correlate antimicrobial effects with mutagenic risks, the present study evaluated the antifungal and antibacterial activities of the essential oil obtained from brown propolis collected from the Cerrado biome in Midwest ...

Limbic forebrain inhibits growth and growth hormone (GH) secretion in mature golden hamsters as shown by acceleration of growth and increases in serum GH concentrations following the electrolytic lesions of septum, transection of the hippocampus and surgical separation of these two regions. The growth-inhibitory function of this circuit is most probably mediated by somatostatinergic (SRIF) neur...

On one hand, the new resolutions will have an impact on the software packages used by the analysis centers of the various services (IVS, IGS, ILRS, IDS) to compute their EOP series and the definition and conventions concerning the EOP estimates to be reported to the IERS and, on the other hand, there will be an impact on the IERS products themselves. In this paper we will mainly focus on the la...

This paper presents the Excitement Open Platform (EOP), a generic architecture and a comprehensive implementation for textual inference in multiple languages. The platform includes state-of-art algorithms, a large number of knowledge resources, and facilities for experimenting and testing innovative approaches. The EOP is distributed as an open source software.

PROBLEM Although preeclampsia has been associated with inflammation, coagulation, and angiogenesis, their correlation and relative contribution are unknown. METHOD OF STUDY About 114 women with preeclampsia, 31 with early onset (EOP) and 83 with late onset preeclampsia (LOP), and 100 normal pregnant controls were included. A broad panel of 32 biomarkers reflecting coagulation, inflammation, a...
