We have previously shown that registered vergence eye position is altered while participants perform the Jendrassik Maneuver (JM). We proposed that the altered eye position signal registration is due to the effect of the JM which changes the gain of the sensory feedback from the eye muscles, possibly via the activity of non-twitch motoneurons. We conducted two studies to further extend and clar...

Observers perceive targets as farther while performing the Jendrassik Maneuver (JM) suggesting that eye position is registered as more divergent. We examined the effects of the JM perturbation in three studies of perceptual judgment that rely on accurate registration of absolute distance: size constancy, stereoscopic depth, and the magnitude of the Pulfrich illusion. The data showed no signific...

Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) play a critical role in diverse cellular processes and their activity is regulated by lipids in the surrounding membrane, including PIP2 (phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate) in the inner leaflet, and GM3 (monosialodihexosylganglioside) in the outer leaflet. However, the precise details of the interactions at the molecular level remain to be fully characterise...

The Notch signaling pathway is critical in development, neuronal maintenance, and hematopoiesis. An obligate step in the activation of this pathway is cleavage of its transmembrane (TM) domain by γ-secretase. While the soluble domains have been extensively studied, little has been done to characterize its TM and flanking juxtamembrane (JM) segments. Here, we present the results of nuclear magne...

We consider the minimum permanents and minimising matrices on the faces of the polytope of doubly stochastic matrices whose nonzero entries coincide with those of, respectively, Um,n = [ In Jn,m Jm,n 0m ] and Vm,n = [ In Jn,m Jm,n Jm,m ] . We conjecture that Vm,n is cohesive but not barycentric for 1 < n < m + √ m and that it is not cohesive for n > m + √ m. We prove that it is cohesive for 1 <...

A yellow-pigmented, Gram-negative, rod-shaped, non-spore-forming bacterium (strain JM-1070T) was isolated as a presumptive endophyte from internal stem tissue of a healthy corn stem. Phylogenetic analyses based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence placed strain JM-1070T in the monophyletic cluster of the genus Mucilaginibacter, with closest affiliation to the type strains of Mucilaginibacter composti ...

A yellow, Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped, non-spore-forming bacterium (strain JM-1(T)) was isolated from the rhizosphere of a field-grown Zea mays plant in Auburn, AL, USA. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis of strain JM-1(T) showed high sequence similarity to the type strains of Novosphingobium capsulatum (98.9%), Novosphingobium aromaticivorans (97.4%), Novosphingobium subterraneum (97.3%) and ...
