Scintillator-based X-ray imaging is a powerful technique for noninvasive realspace microscopic structural investigation such as synchrotron-based computed tomography. The resolution of an optical image formed by scintillation emission is fundamentally diffraction limited. To overcome this limit, stimulated scintillation emission depletion (SSED) X-ray imaging, based on stimulated emission deple...

Neuroscientists have long studied species with convenient biological features to discover how behavior emerges from conserved molecular, neural, and circuit level processes. With the advent of new tools, viral vectors gene editing automated behavioral analyses, there has been a recent wave interest in developing new, “nontraditional” model species. Here, we advocate for complementary approach d...

This study explored physician-patient interaction by examining patients’ perceptions of physician’s communication skills in an effort to identify characteristics associated with a positive medical encounter. Patient satisfaction was examined in terms of its association with the patient’s educational level, perception of the physician’s intentions, and the patient’s willingness to question the p...

TSC13 is required for the biosynthesis of very-long-chain fatty acids (VLCFAs) in yeast. Tsc13p is a polytopic ER membrane protein that accumulates at nucleus-vacuole (NV) junctions, which are formed through Velcro-like interactions between Nvj1p in the perinuclear ER and Vac8p on the vacuole membrane. NV junctions mediate piecemeal microautophagy of the nucleus (PMN), during which bleb-like po...

The goal of School Psychology Forum is to promote and disseminate research-topractice scholarship for the benefit of school psychologists in their clinical practice. This goal has evolved from a desired practice to a mandatory component of any clinical practice. Research to practice is of importance as the concept of evidence-based practice is codified in federal law, American Psychological Ass...

Measures of component reading and language skills, executive functions, and processing speed were administered to groups of children with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD; n = 113), reading disability (RD; n = 109), both RD and ADHD (n = 64), and neither RD nor ADHD (n = 151). Groups with RD exhibited pronounced deficits on all measures of component reading and language skills, as...

Causality is an intriguing but controversial topic in philosophy, statistics, as well as educational and psychological research. By supporting Causal Markov Condition and Faithfulness Condition, Clark Glymour attempted to draw causal inferences from structural equation modeling. According to Glymour, in order to make causal interpretation of non-experimental data, the researcher must have some ...

This paper reviews some recent literature on emotions by economists and philosophers, especially Robert Frank and his critics. We endorse the general stance of this literature, according to which emotions evolved as devices for minimize incidence of social dilemmas. However, we reject the prevailing theory of emotions themselves, on grounds that it involves simplistic cognitive science and lead...
