Spatially Correlated Fluctuations and Coherence Dynamics in Photosynthesis
Here we present a generic model in which a strong intermolecular steric restoring force in densely packed pigment-protein complexes results in a spatial correlation in conformational (static) variations of chromophores,…

Identification of a Population of Sleep-Active Cerebral Cortex Neurons
We have identified a population of cells in the cortex that is activated during sleep in three mammalian species. These cortical neurons are a subset of GABAergic interneurons that express…

Imaging Radar Observations of Farley Buneman Waves During the Joule Ii Experiment
Vector electric fields and associated E×B drifts measured by a sounding rocket in the auroral zone during the NASA JOULE II experiment in January 2007, are compared with coherent scatter spectra measured…

Dynamic Facial Expression Analysis and Synthesis with Mpeg-4 Facial Animation Parameters
This paper describes a probabilistic framework for faithful reproduction of dynamic facial expressions on a synthetic face model with MPEG-4 facial animation parameters while achieving very low bitrate in data…

Ventricular Expansion After Alcohol Exposure By Vapor Chamber in Wistar Rats
Here, we tested the hypothesis that wild-type Wistar rats, exposed to vaporized alcohol ensuring higher BALs than typically achieved with voluntary consumption in rodents, would model MRI findings in the…

L-Selectin-Deficient SJL and C57Bl/6 Mice Are Not Resistant to Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis
L-selectin has been suggested to play a role in the pathogenesis of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), an animal model of multiple sclerosis. Here we demonstrate that L-selectin–/– SJL mice are susceptible…

Ventricular Expansion in Wild-Type Wistar Rats After Alcohol Exposure By Vapor Chamber
Here, we tested the hypothesis that wild-type Wistar rats, exposed to vaporized alcohol ensuring higher BALs than typically achieved with voluntary consumption in rodents, would model MRI findings in the…

Early Indicators of Exposure to Biological Threat Agents Using Host Gene Profiles in Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells
To detect exposures to the various pathogens more rapidly, especially during these early stages, we evaluated a suite of host responses to biological threat agents using global gene expression profiling…

Sleep Deprivation Effects on Circadian Clock Gene Expression in the Cerebral Cortex Parallel Electroencephalographic Differences Among Mouse Strains
Sleep deprivation (SD) results in increased electroencephalographic (EEG) delta power during subsequent non-rapid eye movement sleep (NREMS) and is associated with changes in the expression of circadian clock-related genes in…

Telephone-Based Tobacco-Cessation Treatment Re-Enrollment Among Diverse Groups
This study aimed to determine the rates of quitline re-enrollment and to compare the responses of people of varying racial/ethnic identities to invitations utilizing different communication strategies.

Annotation-Based Inference of Transporter Function
We present a method for inferring and constructing transport reactions for transporter proteins based primarily on the analysis of the names of individual proteins in the genome annotation of an…

Cortical Processing of Respiratory Occlusion Stimuli in Children with Central Hypoventilation Syndrome
Cortical integration of afferent mechanical stimuli caused by respiratory loading or upper airway occlusion can be tested by measuring respiratory-related evoked potentials (RREPs). We hypothesized that patients with CHS would…
