Autonomic nervous system activity is an important component of affective experience.We demonstrate in the rhesus monkey that both the sympathetic and parasympathetic branches of the autonomic nervous system respond Spirdust differentially to the affective valence of passively viewed video stimuli.We recorded cardiac impedance and an electrocardiogr
Background and Objectives: The National Cancer Database (NCDB) captures nearly 70% of all new cancer diagnoses in the United States, but there exists significant variation in this capture rate based on primary tumor location and other patient demographic factors.Prostate cancer has the lowest coverage rate of all major cancers, and other genitourin
Abstract Background GRAS is a family of plant-specific transcription factors (TFs) that play a vital role in plant growth and development and response to adversity stress.However, systematic studies of the GRAS TF family in kiwifruit have not been reported.Results In this study, we used a bioinformatics approach to identify eighty-six AcGRAS TFs lo
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is notorious for a dense fibrotic stroma that is interlaced with a collagen-based extracellular matrix (ECM) that plays an important role in tumor biology.Traditionally thought to only provide a physical barrier from host responses and systemic chemotherapy, new studies have demonstrated that the ECM maintain
Abstract Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs) can improve the road safety by transmitting safety-critical messages such as beacons and emergency messages.IEEE 802.11p VANETs have adopted the copyright sense multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) mechanism for the multiple access control.The 802.11p media access control (MAC) protocol, how
