OBJECTIVE To review the role played by the medial longitudinal fasciculus (MLF) in ocular motor physiology and to characterize a number of syndromes that result from lesions in this eloquent brainstem tract system. BACKGROUND The MLF is responsible for transmitting information that is crucial for the coordination and synchronization of all major classes of eye movements. A number of disease p...

1 Background The alternation of two languages inside and outside of sentences –codeswitching (CS hereafter) has been studied mainly from two perspectives, i.e. grammatical/syntactic and pragmatic/discourse (Romaine, 1995). Although these two aspects are related and a knowledge of one helps understand the other (Myers-Scotton, 2002:Chapter 2), because of a limit in space, I will focus on the str...

This thesis presents the context and nature of the work during a sixmonth internship at Gallium, a research team of the Institut National de Recherche en Informatique et en Automatique (INRIA) which is specialized in the design, formalization and implementation of programming languages and systems. My advisor was Didier Rémy, a senior member of the team, which specializes, among other things, i...

A multi-layered neural network based on multi-valued neurons is considered in the paper. It is shown that using a traditional architecture of multi-layered feedforward neural network (MLF) and the high functionality of the multi-valued neuron, it is possible to obtain a new powerful neural network. Its training does not require a derivative of the activation function and its functionality is hi...

Recently, a multi-level fuzzy min max neural network (MLF) was proposed, which improves the classification accuracy by handling an overlapped region (area of confusion) with the help of a tree structure. In this brief, an extension of MLF is proposed which defines a new boundary region, where the previously proposed methods mark decisions with less confidence and hence misclassification is more...

Lactiplantibacillus plantarum strain UNQLp 11 is a lactic acid bacterium with the potential to carry out malolactic fermentation (MLF) in red wines. Recently, complete genome of was sequenced and this possesses four loci enzyme ?-glucosidase. In order demonstrate that these glucosidase enzymes could be functional under harsh wine conditions, we evaluated hydrolysis p-nitrophenyl-?-D-glucopyrano...

The aim of the study was to analyze interactions between neuronal networks mediating centrally initiated movements and reflex reactions evoked by peripheral afferents; specifically whether interneurons in pathways from group Ib afferents and from group II muscle afferents mediate actions of reticulospinal neurons on spinal motoneurons by contralaterally located commissural interneurons. To this...
