Neuropil Distribution In The Anterior Cingulate And Primary Visual Cortex Of Cetartiodactyla, Primates, and Afrotheria
(2014-04-17)Previous studies of the cerebral cortex have utilized the neuropil space as a proxy for connectivity, highlighting structural differences between cortical areas. The following study aims to investigate the distribution ... -
A New Technique for Studying Implicit Relational Learning in Adult Humans : Multiple-Object Tracking Task
(2010-04-16)Adult humans readily learn to respond to relations, but it is normally assumed that their ability to verbalize relations plays a critical role. To study relational learning in absence of verbalization, we developed a new ... -
Oxidation of Alkenes Using Dioxirane of 1,3-Dichloroacetone
(2010-05-10)Oxidation of alkenes using dioxirane system generated from 1,3-dichloroacetone and oxone produces good to excellent yields of epoxide products. The reaction system is facile, mild, efficient and safe. Our experimental ... -
P300 Event Related Potentials from Rat Brain to Cues for Reinforcement and Non-Reinforcement
(2009-06-24)The P300 Event Related Potential (ERP) is a time locked, averaged EEG to task relevant stimuli. Previous research in our laboratory has shown that the P300 ERP in rats is a correlate of the brains recognition of a conditioned ... -
Parallelizable Algorithms For Describing The Effects Of Strong Time-Dependent Electromagnetic Fields On The Hydrogen Atom
(2014-04-17)We are testing a variety of methods to numerically treat the ionization of atomic hydrogen by a strong lase r pulse. Besides providing high accuracy, the algorithms should be parallelizable in order to handle the sometimes ... -
Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cell Cytokine and Proliferative Response to In Vitro Echinacea Stimulaton in Male College Wrestlers andSoccer Players During Preseason Practice
(2009-04-23)The effects of dietary botanical supplements on the immune response in athletes are unknown, despite a recent increase in herbal supplement use by both college and professional athletes. We conducted 2 separate studies to ... -
Photodetachment of O-
(2007-05-31)Photodetachment of O- (2p5)2P° has been investigated with a new R-matrix (close-coupling) code [1] that uses a B-spline basis for the continuum functions. The completeness of the B-spline basis ensures that no Buttle ... -
Place-Based Strategies to Improve Access to Health Care in Rural Iowa
(2015-05)Sustaining the viability of rural communities depends largely upon citizens’ access to high-quality healthcare, and in tandem, citizens’ access to high-quality healthcare depends upon the success of the community as a ... -
Polk County Juvenile Drug Court: Recommendations for the Future
(2015-05)Polk County Juvenile Drug Court (“PCJDC”) has been operating since 2001, and has built a solid reputation within the state by addressing juvenile offenders with accompanying substance abuse problems. This paper examines ... -
Powerful Outflows in Seyfert Galaxies : Wind- Vs. Jet-Driven Models
(2010-04-19)Seyfert galaxies are active galaxies characterized by luminous outflows from a central super massive black hole. The outflow mechanism has not been fully determined, but the two primary competing systems are a wind-driven ... -
"Protection of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae from UV-C light"
(2006-06-07)Excessive exposure to sunlight can be harmful as the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays cause DNA damage. If this damage is not repaired in human cells, cancer and/or cell death can result. With the incidence of skin cancer growing ... -
"Protective effect of Placenta Growth Factor (PIGF) against hypoxia-reoxgyenation and serum-deprivation induced apoptosis in neonatal rat cardiomyocytes"
(2005-07-05)Placenta growth factor (PlGF) is known to induce angiogenesis and protect placental trophoblast from apoptosis. We have shown that PlGF mRNA expression is increased in hypoxic human myocardium and in rat neonatal ... -
Protein-Protein Interactions in Drosophila Germ Cell Development
(2009-06-24)During germ cell formation in Drosophila embryos, cells migrate from their site of origin to the site of organ formation. In particular, germ cells need to migrate long distances from their site of origin to the site where ... -
Proteomic analysis of the membrane skeleton of Tetrahymena thermophila
(2007-06-01)The membrane skeleton of the Tetrahymena is likely to determine many aspects of the cell surface structure of this ciliated protozoan. The availability of the genomic sequence of Tetrahymena thermophila has facilitated a ... -
Pulse-Shape Effects On The Autler-Townes Doublet In Strong-Field Ionization Of Atomic Hydrogen
(2014-04-17)A characteristic feature in strong-field multi-photon ionization processes is the so-called Autler-Townes Doublet [1] that occurs due to the transient splitting of atomic energy levels in the electric field of the laser ... -
"Punishment for my Sins," "Diet Pepsi," or "Bad Gene:" Perceived Causes of Autoimmune Diseases
(2009-06-24)Autoimmune diseases are the fourth most common type of chronic illness yet the medical causes of the diseases remain largely unknown. Individuals who are diagnosed with autoimmune diseases often face many psychosocial ... -
"The rat P300 ERP to signaled occurrence and omission of expected reinforcers following extended training"
(2005-06-23)A series of experiments in our laboratory have shown that rat P300 ERP amplitude is an incremental function of conditioned stimulus proximity to primary reinforcement in simple behavioral chains, suggesting that the P300 ... -
Re-imagining Shakespeare - Hamlet (program 1)
(2011-07-19)William Shakespeare was no stranger to collaboration. More than a few of his plays were co-authored with fellow dramatists or adapted by others in the process of publication, while performances of his works have always ... -
