Abstrad-The consolidation of an interhemispherically transferred avoidance response was studied using spreading depression to control transfer and consolidation times. Transmission of the learning required 3 min. The length of time following transfer when consolidation could be disturbed varied with the duration of spreading depression, from 3 min to 2 hr. The effect appears not to be due to di...

Lateral spreading is a complex geomorphological process occurring through the interplay of different factors. Due to their low rates displacement, lateral spreads in rock are much less investigated than other landslide types even though sometimes they can evolve into faster and more hazardous movements such as topples. The lack long-term monitoring data means that deformation mechanisms these l...

BACKGROUND Unilateral and bilateral anterior transpositions of the inferior oblique muscle (ATIOs) for primary inferior oblique (IO) muscle overaction may produce apparent new or recurrent overaction of the contralateral IO muscle. This effect has been termed "antielevating" and can produce overaction of the contralateral elevators in adduction that mimics recurrent or new overaction of the IO ...

Liquefaction-induced lateral spreading causes severe damage to the pile foundation of structures. Old structures that are not properly designed for liquefaction more vulnerable a strong earthquake. Many old piled abutments require remedial measure against spreading. This paper examines responses an abutment subjected liquefaction-induced and efficacy sheet reinforcement technique mitigate assoc...

Integrin-mediated adhesions are critical for stem cell differentiation, cancer metastasis, and the immune response [Hynes RO (2009) Science 326:1216-1219]. However, the mechanisms of early adhesion formation remain unclear, especially the effects of lateral clustering of integrins and the role of the Src family kinases. Using mobile Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) peptide ligands on lipid bilayers with nano-...

The Panayiotopoulos type of occipital lobe epilepsy has generated great interest, but the particular brain areas involved in the peculiar seizure manifestations have not been established. We studied a patient with the syndrome, using high-resolution EEG and simultaneous EEG and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Resolution of the scalp EEG was improved using a realistic spline Laplac...

Introduction: Optics is a viable solution to address the limitations of copper-based electronics in short-distance interconnects [1]. In these compact systems, devices must meet the stringent requirements imposed by the power budget and the thermal restriction. Recently, VCSELs have received considerable interest for board and chip level interconnects owing to their small footprints, ease of fa...

A complete prototype system for measuring vehicle lateral position has been set up during the course of this master’s thesis project. In the development of the software, images acquired from a back-ward looking video camera mounted on the roof of the vehicle were used. The problem of using computer vision to measure lateral position can be divided into road marking detection and lateral positio...
