Local and global forms of inhibition control directionally selective ganglion cells (DSGCs) in the mammalian retina. Specifically, local inhibition arising from GABAergic starburst amacrine cells (SACs) strongly contributes ...

Beginning in September 2010, seismic events shook the city of Christchurch, New Zealand, resulting in significant losses for the tourism sector, most notably the devastated Central Business District. Tourism had to adjust ...

A multiple-antenna-multiple-equalizer (MAME) system is proposed for overcoming cochannel interference (CCI) in code-division multiple access (CDMA) indoor wireless systems. The main advantage of the MAME system is the ...

The work presented herein is a method optimization for biomolecule detection and identification using Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization-Mass Spectrometry Imaging (MALDI-MSI). MALDI-MSI is a unique form of mass ...

Several new multiuser detectors are developed for different direct-sequence codedivision multiple-access (DS-CDMA) application environments. The first detector is based on a semidefinite-programming (SDP) relaxation ...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate muscle oxygenation, cardiorespiratory, and blood lactate responses to an acute bout of a high-intensity interval training (HIIT) bodyweight squat protocol (HIIT-squats) in comparison ...

In the process of carving a new England out of the southern end of Vancouver Island in the later nineteenth century, the population of Victoria, BC sought to forge a British identity for themselves through music and its ...

It has been demonstrated that early, formal and extensive musical training induces changes both at the structural and functional levels in the brain. Previous evidence suggests that musicians are particularly skilled in ...
