There is a growing interest in developing novel brain stimulation methods to control disease-related aberrant neural activity and to address basic neuroscience questions. Conventional methods for manipulating brain activity rely on open-loop approaches that usually lead to excessive stimulation and, crucially, do not restore the original computations performed by the network. Thus, they are oft...

The delayed feedback control (DFC) is a control method for stabilizing unstable periodic orbits in nonlinear autonomous differential equations. We give an important relationship between the characteristic multipliers of the linear variational equation around an unstable periodic solution of the equation and those of its delayed feedback equation. The key of our proof is a result about the spect...

The subnucleolar structure that is involved in rDNA transcription has been controversial. A report by Koberna et al. (2002)(this issue, page 743) adds significant weight toward the idea that dense fibrillar components (DFCs)**Abbreviations used in this paper: DFC, dense fibrillar component; FC, fibrillar center; GC, granular component; Pol I, polymerase I. and fibrillar center (FC)/DFC borders ...

In this study, a new molecularly imprinted polymer with nanoporous material of zirconium metal-organic frameworks (Zr-MOF/MIP) for diclofenac (DFC) measurement is presented. The Zr-MOF/MIP was prepared by electropolymerization method, the Zr-MOFs were used to increase electrode surface and the DFC and para- aminobenzoic acid (pABA) were used as template and functional monomer, respectively. Zr-...

In this paper, a Modular Fractional Chaotic Sine Map (MFC-SM) has been introduced to achieve high Lyapunov exponent values and completely chaotic behavior of the bifurcation diagram for level security. The proposed MFC-SM is compared with conventional non it an excellent analysis. addition, randomness test results indicate that shows better performance satisfy all tests. Due properties good ran...

Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-based therapies for articular cartilage regeneration are effective mostly due to paracrine signals mediated by extracellular vesicles, especially small vesicles (sEV). However, it is unknown whether dental follicle cell-derived sEV (DFC-sEV) affect in temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJ-OA). In this study, the effects of DFC-sEV on IL-1β-induced mandibular co...

This document reports the activities of the AES working group organized at the Ecole Normale Sup erieure. Several candidates are evaluated. In particular we outline some weaknesses in the designs of some candidates. We mainly discuss selection criteria between the candidates , and make case-by-case comments. We nally recommend the selection of Mars, RC6, Serpent, ... and DFC. As the report is b...

1. On p. 1843 we used the formula dFC 1⁄4 ffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffi d 1 þ d 02 2 q instead of the correct formula dFC 1⁄4 ðd 0 1 þ d 0 2Þ= ffiffiffi 2 p (where di, i = 1,2 is the observer’s sensitivity in the ith interval of a 2-IFC trial). The key consequence of this error is that we compute the slope s of the theoretic line in testing our Claim 3 as s 1⁄4 ffiffiffiff...

In ATT, a human autoimmune serum, we found anti-nucleolar antibodies that recognized nucleolar antigens confined to a single nucleolar compartment, the dense fibrillar component (DFC). We localized these antigens by immunoelectron microscopy in DFC of HeLa cell nucleoli both on Lowicryl sections and cryoultrathin sections without embedding. The antigens were solubilized by incubation with 2M Na...
