• Human social behavior, including communication behavior, is inf luenced by higher-order factors that remain largely unacknowledged in communication theory and research. • Several communicative behaviors, including communication anxiety, conf lict, emotional expression, and aggression, have strong biological ties. • Most of the research on the biology of communication behavior is conducted out...

Community detection for uncovering the hidden community structure in large networks is an important task in analyzing complex networks. Most of the existing methods only consider link structure in networks, where the link information is usually sparse and noisy, which may result in a poor partition of a network. Fortunately, besides link structure, nodes, especially in social networks, are ofte...

R esearchers in the newly emerging field of developmental cognitive neuroscience seek to understand how postnatal brain development relates to changes in perceptual, cognitive, and social abilities in infants and children (1). One of the areas of cognitive development that has benefited most from a developmental cognitive neuroscience approach is attention. The ability to attend to individual o...

Bacillus clausii TnrA transcription factor is required for global nitrogen regulation. In order to obtain anoverview of gene regulation by TnrA in B. clausii KSMK16, the entire genome of B. clausii was screened forthe consensus sequence, 5’-TGTNAN7TNACA-3’ known as the TnrA box, and 13 transcription units werefound containing a putative TnrA box. The TnrA targets identified in...
