In a paper published in this issue of Journal of Neurophysiology (p. 1775–1785), Darrow and colleagues report that lesions of the lateral superior olive, where the lateral olivocochlear (LOC) efferent originate, enhance auditory evoked potentials in mice. The report also shows that noise-traumatized mouse ears without LOC input are more susceptible to noiseinduced trauma than contralateral ears...

This study investigates the effect of grandparental involvement in childcare on children's locus control (LOC), which is an important non-cognitive skill that affects future development. We use data from China Family Panel Studies, a nationally representative survey, and employ instrumental variables to address endogeneity family choice. find children with care have more external LOC than sole ...

BACKGROUND Due to high prevalence and serious impacts, childhood caries represents a public health issue. Behavioural risk factors such as locus of health control have been implicated in the development of the disease; however their association with childhood caries has not been thoroughly studied. The aim of this cross-sectional survey was to assess the relationship between parental locus of h...

Although object perception involves encoding a wide variety of object properties (e.g., size, color, viewpoint), some properties are irrelevant for identifying the object. The key to successful object recognition is having an internal representation of the object identity that is insensitive to these properties while accurately representing important diagnostic features. Behavioral evidence ind...

BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to determine whether cyclin E overexpression defines an etiologically distinct subgroup of ovarian cancer. METHODS We analyzed data from 538 epithelial ovarian cancer cases and 629 controls enrolled in a population-based case-control study. Cyclin E protein overexpression was assessed using immunohistochemistry. Case-control and case-case comparisons...

Pollen tubes are used as a model in the study of plant morphogenesis, cellular differentiation, cell wall biochemistry, biomechanics, and intra- and intercellular signaling. For a "systems-understanding" of the bio-chemo-mechanics of tip-polarized growth in pollen tubes, the need for a versatile, experimental assay platform for quantitative data collection and analysis is critical. We introduce...

In this paper, we present cusp solitons for the Degasperis-Procesi (DP) equation under the inhomogeneous boundary condition lim|x|→∞ u= A, where A is a non-zero constant. Through mathematical analysis, a stationary cusp soliton is presented in an explicit form of u(x, t) = √ 1− e−2|x| ∈ W 1,1 loc , but / ∈ H1 loc, while most cusp solitons are expressed in an implicit form in the space ofW 1,1 l...

Abstract We show that, given a homeomorphism f : G → Ω {f:G\rightarrow\Omega} where G is an open subset of ℝ 2 {\mathbb{R}^{2}} and Ω 2-Ahlfors regular metric measure space supporting...
