We have studied the intrinsic organization of macaque striate cortex by tracing the pattern of horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-labeled axons and cell bodies produced by microinjections of HRP into single cortical laminae. Both anterograde and retrograde transport results were used to examine: (1) the pattern of projections from lamina 4C to the superficial layers; (2) the projection from lamina 4C...

Eukaryotic protein synthesis initiation factor (eIF)-4C was purified from wheat germ and the molecular weight was calculated to be approximately 19,000 by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. A similar molecular weight was determined by gel filtration chromatography indicating that wheat germ eIF-4C is functional as a single polypeptide chain. An efficient in vitro translation system depende...

4C-Seq has proven to be a powerful technique to identify genome-wide interactions with a single locus of interest (or "bait") that can be important for gene regulation. However, analysis of 4C-Seq data is complicated by the many biases inherent to the technique. An important consideration when dealing with 4C-Seq data is the differences in resolution of signal across the genome that result from...

For companies developing and supplying equipment to the offshore industry, the degree of success is highly dependent on the reliability of delivered systems in operation. This comprises both operability and safety functions, and hence control systems need to go through extensive testing before being installed on new or existing systems. The possibility for testing a system in full scale before ...

A model of LGN-input to layer 4C of macaque primary visual cortex has been used to test the hypothesis that feedforward convergence of P- and M-inputs onto layer 4C spiny stellate neurons is sufficient to explain the observed gradual change in receptive field size and contrast sensitivity with depth in the layer. Overlap of dendrites of postsynaptic neurons between M- and P-input zones proved s...

The purpose of this study was to compare the accuracy, precision, and bias of fat mass (FM) as assessed by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), hydrostatic weighing (HW), air-displacement plethysmography (PM) using the BOD POD body composition system and total body water (TBW) against the four-compartment (4C) model in 25 children (11.4 +/- 1.4 yr). The regression between FM by the 4C model ...

The beta subunits of voltage-gated Ca(2+) channels are known to be regulators of the channels' gating properties. Here we report a striking additional function of a beta subunit. Screening of chicken cochlear and brain cDNA libraries identified beta(4c), a short splice variant of the beta(4) subunit. Although beta(4c) occurs together with the longer isoforms beta(4a) or beta(4b) in the brain, e...

UNLABELLED In 1998, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) adopted a rule requiring that skinfolds (SF) or hydrostatic weighing (HW) be used to estimate minimum weight (MW) in college wrestlers. PURPOSE To cross-validate the NCAA methods for estimation of MW using a multicomponent criterion (4C). METHODS Criterion MW was calculated from body density (BD), bone mineral content (...
