BACKGROUND The basal ganglia often show abnormal metabolism and intracranial hemodynamics in cirrhotic patients with hepatic encephalopathy (HE). Little is known about how the basal ganglia affect other brain system and is affected by other brain regions in HE. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the effective connectivity network associated with the basal ganglia is disturbed ...

The Globus Toolkit makes it very easy and comfortable for grid users to develop and deploy grid service. As for the security mechanism, however, only static authentication and coarse-grained authorization mechanism is provided in current Globus Toolkit. In this paper we address the limitations of current security mechanism in the Globus Toolkit and propose a new architecture which provides fine...

554 British Journal of General Practice, October 2015 IntroduCtIon Globus pharyngeus or globus sensation is the painless sensation of a lump in the throat and may be described as a foreign body sensation, a tightening or choking feeling. It is often associated with persistent clearing of the throat, chronic cough, hoarseness, and catarrh.1 Globus pharyngeus makes up 4% of ear, nose, and throat ...

introduction:dystonia is a disorder of movement caused by various etiologies. laryngeal dystonia is caused by the spasm of laryngeal muscles. it is a disorder caused by vocal fold movement in which excessive adduction or abduction of the vocal folds occurs during speech. the pathophysiology of this type of dystonia is not fully known. some researchers have suggested that basal ganglia structure...

Doppler backscattering (DBS) is a microwave diagnostics method typically used to study the plasma rotation velocity. Apart from conventional techniques, more advanced forms of DBS implementation were suggested on Globus-M. More specifically variety oscillating processes was performed using DBS. In this review we present detailed description all methods and techniques employed in Globus-M alongs...

The anti-compulsive effects of high and low frequency stimulation (LFS, HFS) of the entopeduncular nucleus and globus pallidus (the rat's equivalent, respectively, of the primate's internal and external segments of the globus pallidus) were assessed in the signal attenuation rat model of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). HFS, but not LFS, of the two nuclei exerted an anti-compulsive effect, ...

The subthalamic nucleus-globus pallidus network plays a central role in basal ganglia function and dysfunction. To determine whether the relationship between activity in this network and the principal afferent of the basal ganglia, the cortex, is altered in a model of Parkinson's disease, we recorded unit activity in the subthalamic nucleus-globus pallidus network together with cortical electro...

TOG and JOSH are two fully Globus-enabled grid scheduling tools based around Grid Engine, the Globus Toolkit and a variety of data grid technologies. These tools were originally developed by the EPCC Sun Data and Compute Grids (Sun DCG) project. This paper describes these tools and their use in e-Science projects in the UK and abroad. 1. Grid Engine & Globus Grid Engine [1] is an open source di...
