It is generally agreed that saccade deviations away from a distractor location represent inhibition in the oculomotor system. By systematically manipulating the location of a distractor we tested whether the inhibition of the distractor is coded coarsely or fine-grained. Results showed that the location of a distractor had an effect on the saccade trajectories, suggesting that the amount of inh...

Real-time information from microblogs like Twitter is useful for different applications such as market research, opinion mining, and crisis management. For many of those messages, location information is required to derive useful insights. Today, however, only around 1% of all tweets are explicitly geotagged. We propose the first multi-indicator method for determining (1) the location where a t...

The integration of chromatin modifiers into specific regulatory networks is not fully understood. In this issue of Immunity, Austenaa et al. (2012) demonstrate a specific role for the histone methyltransferase MLL4 (Wbp7) in controlling the expression of critical molecules in the Toll-like receptor pathway.

one of the nondestructive methods for assessing the internal quality of some fruits is the processing and analyzing the sound signals generated by an impact on the fruit. in this regard determining the location and the suitable impact levels for a certain fruit is required. in this study, the selected crimson sweet variety of watermelon was used for the acoustic tests by imposing the impact for...

Several studies have suggested that precision livestock farming (PLF) is a useful tool for animal welfare management and assessment. Location, posture movement of an individual are key elements in identifying the recording its behaviour. Currently, multiple technologies available automated monitoring location animals, ranging from Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) to ultra-wideband (UW...

Abstract The development of sugarcane varieties has allowed Brazilian ethanol plants to operate longer during the harvest, however, in off-season they remain idle due absence biomass. To increase energy safety and guarantee supply critical periods, it been proposed adapt flex-biomass model, allowing production biofuel from corn as well. Considering costs building or adapting a plant, strategica...
