The avian nucleus laminaris (NL) is involved in computation of interaural time differences (ITDs) that encode the azimuthal position of a sound source. Neurons in NL are bipolar, with dorsal and ventral dendritic arbors receiving input from separate ears. NL neurons act as coincidence detectors that respond maximally when input from each ear arrives at the two dendritic arbors simultaneously. C...

A Self-Organizing Network (SON) performs automated network management through the coordinated execution of autonomous functions, each aiming to achieve a specific objective like the optimization of a network Key Performance Indicator (KPI) value. However, there are situations in which a SON function cannot achieve its objective which can lead to disturbed SON operation and inferior performance....

in this article a very brief history of violence against women in domestic settings is developed. on the whole, 18 focus group discussion (fgd) (including 4 pilot fgds), were conducted in southern part of teheran capital of iran among different groups of people (literate, illiterate, married, unmarried, male, female). further, 30 individual interviews conducted with violence and family affaire ...

OBJECTIVES A clear knowledge of the location of the maxillo-facial foramina is essential for clinicians while performing endoscopic surgeries and regional nerve blocks. In the present study, a detailed analysis of the supraorbital foramen (SOF) and supraorbital notch (SON) of South Indian skulls is reported and the data are compared with those from other races and regions. METHODS Anatomical ...

We show how to produce SOn-equivariant vector fields on non-trivial SOn-torsors which correspond to quadratic forms non-equivalent to the unit form. For n 3 we then give an example of a Picard–Vessiot extension with group SOn which is the function field of a non-trivial SOn-torsor. © 2007 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

The activity of the magnocellular neurons (MCNs) of supraoptic nucleus (SON) is regulated by a variety of excitatory and inhibitory inputs. Opioids are one of the important compounds that affect these inputs at SON synapses. In this study, whole-cell patch clamp recording of SON neurons was used to investigate the effect of acute and repeated morphine administration on spontaneous inhibitory an...

03 "Monumentality," she vmtes, "creates the sense of social cohesion that is central to the consolidation of a community by impressing upon people the importance and power of a thing or a person Central to this impression of social power is the sense of long-lastingness; the perception that this city, building, institution, or artwork—and the values it represents— will last through generations,...

The Peters family is a Yale family, and Jack Peters' branch of the family extended to five generations at Yale when my third daughter, Barbara, received her M.D. degree, with honors, in 1979. We trace our origins back to when Andrew Peters came to America from England in 1702 and settled in Andover, Massachusetts. Our family's Yale connection goes back to Jack's grandfather, Thomas McClure Pete...

Nowadays smartphones and tablets are used nearly everywhere at any time. The need for mobile networks with high bandwidth increases fast as all of those network elements require Internet connection for almost all applications. The radio access technologies ranging from GSM over UMTS to the currently upcoming LTE networks become more and more complex and with it the effort of controlling this co...
