The Astonishing Behavior of Electric Eels
(Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience, 2019-07-16)
The remarkable physiology of the electric eel (Electrophorus electricus) made it one of the first model species in science. It was pivotal for understanding animal electricity in the 1700s, was investigated by Humboldt and ...
Evidence for neural rhythms embedded within binocular rivalry
(Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2019-07-23)
Evidence for perceptual periodicity emerges from studies showing periodic fluctuations in visual perception and decision making that are accompanied by neural oscillations in brain activity. We have uncovered signs of ...
First Pass Effect in Patients Treated With the Trevo Stent-Retriever: A TRACK Registry Study Analysis
(Frontiers in Neurology, 2020-02-18)
Background and Objective: The first pass effect (FPE; achieving complete recanalization with a single thrombectomy device pass) has been shown to be associated with higher rates of good clinical outcomes in patients with ...
Centrality and pseudorapidity dependence of the transverse energy density in pPb collisions ats root s(NN)=5.02 TeV
(Physical Review C, 2019-08-01)
The almost hermetic coverage of the CMS detector is used to measure the distribution of transverse energy, E-T, over 13.2 units of pseudorapidity, eta, for pPb collisions at a center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair of root ...
Transstadial immune activation in a mosquito: Adults that emerge from infected larvae have stronger antibacterial activity in their hemocoel yet increased susceptibility to malaria infection
(Ecology and Evolution, 2019-05)
Larval and adult mosquitoes mount immune responses against pathogens that invade their hemocoel. Although it has been suggested that a correlation exists between immune processes across insect life stages, the influence ...
Nutritional Heterogeneity Among Aspergillus fumigatus Strains Has Consequences for Virulence in a Strain- and Host-Dependent Manner
(FRONTIERS IN MICROBIOLOGY, 2019-04-24)
Acquisition and subsequent metabolism of different carbon and nitrogen sources have been shown to play an important role in virulence attributes of the fungal pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus, such as the secretion of host ...
Gregarious suspension feeding in a modular Ediacaran organism
(SCIENCE ADVANCES, 2019-06)
Reconstructing Precambrian eukaryotic paleoecology is pivotal to understanding the origins of the modern, animal-dominated biosphere. Here, we combine new fossil data from southern Namibia with computational fluid dynamics ...
H-band discovery of additional second-generation stars in the Galactic bulge globular cluster NGC 6522 as observed by APOGEE and Gaia
(ASTRONOMY & ASTROPHYSICS, 2019-07-22)
We present an elemental abundance analysis of high-resolution spectra for five giant stars spatially located within the innermost regions of the bulge globular cluster NGC 6522 and derive Fe, Mg, Al, C, N, O, Si, and Ce ...
Spatial suppression promotes rapid figure-ground segmentation of moving objects
(NATURE COMMUNICATIONS, 2019-07-02)
Segregation of objects from their backgrounds is a fundamental visual function and one that is particularly effective when objects are in motion. Theoretically, suppressive center-surround mechanisms are well suited for ...
Wiedervereinigung oder Anschluss?: The effects of Reunification in former East Germany
(Vanderbilt University, Department of History, 2016)
This paper examines the structural changes in East German institutions that occurred in the former German Democratic Republic (GDR) in the years following German Reunification and how they represented a western "takeover" ...
