Basolateral amygdala regulation of adult hippocampal neurogenesis and fear-related activation of newborn neurons
(Nature Publishing Group, 2011-06)Impaired regulation of emotional memory is a feature of several affective disorders, including depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder. Such regulation occurs, in part, by interactions between the hippocampus ... -
Basolateral to Central Amygdala Neural Circuits for Appetitive Behaviors
(Elsevier BV, 2017-03)Basolateral amygdala (BLA) principal cells are capable of driving and antagonizing behaviors of opposing valence. BLA neurons project to the central amygdala (CeA), which also participates in negative and positive behaviors. ... -
BAT3 Guides Misfolded Glycoproteins Out of the Endoplasmic Reticulum
(Public Library of Science, 2011-12)Secretory and membrane proteins that fail to acquire their native conformation within the lumen of the Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) are usually targeted for ubiquitin-dependent degradation by the proteasome. How partially ... -
Batch and Flow Photochemical Benzannulations Based on the Reaction of Ynamides and Diazo Ketones. Application to the Synthesis of Polycyclic Aromatic and Heteroaromatic Compounds
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 2013-11)Highly substituted polycyclic aromatic and heteroaromatic compounds are produced via a two-stage tandem benzannulation/cyclization strategy. The initial benzannulation step proceeds via a pericyclic cascade mechanism ... -
BATCH REVERSE OSMOSIS: EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS, MODEL VALIDATION, AND DESIGN IMPLICATIONS
(American Membrane Technology Association, 2019-02)In theory, batch reverse osmosis (RO) systems can achieve the lowest practical energy consumption by varying feed pressure over time. However, few batch RO syste ms have been built and operated. We have tested a bench-scale ... -
Batch-iFDD for representation expansion in large MDPs
(Association for Uncertainty in Artificial Intelligence (AUAI), 2013-07)Matching pursuit (MP) methods are a promising class of feature construction algorithms for value function approximation. Yet existing MP methods require creating a pool of potential features, mandating expert knowledge or ... -
Batched Bandit Problems
(Institute of Mathematical Statistics, 2015-09-24)Motivated by practical applications, chiefly clinical trials, we study the regret achievable for stochastic bandits under the constraint that the employed policy must split trials into a small number of batches. Our results ... -
BatchVote: Voting Rules Designed for Auditability
(Springer International Publishing, 2017-11)We propose a family of novel social choice functions. Our goal is to explore social choice functions for which ease of auditing is a primary design goal, instead of being ignored or left as a puzzle to solve later. Our ... -
“Batch” Kinetics in Flow: Online IR Analysis and Continuous Control
(Wiley Blackwell, 2013-11)Currently, kinetic data is either collected under steady-state conditions in flow or by generating time-series data in batch. Batch experiments are generally considered to be more suitable for the generation of kinetic ... -
Battery capacity of deferrable energy demand
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2016-12)We investigate the ability of a homogeneous collection of deferrable energy loads to behave as a battery; that is, to absorb and release energy in a controllable fashion up to fixed and predetermined limits on volume, ... -
A battery-free tag for wireless monitoring of heart sounds
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2009-08)We have developed a wearable, battery-free tag that monitors heart sounds. The tag powers up by harvesting ambient RF energy, and contains a low-power integrated circuit, an antenna and up to four microphones. The chip, ... -
Battery-free wireless imaging of underwater environments
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2022-09-26)<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Imaging underwater environments is of great importance to marine sciences, sustainability, climatology, defense, robotics, geology, space exploration, and food security. Despite ... -
A batteryless thermoelectric energy-harvesting interface circuit with 35mV startup voltage
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2010-02)A batteryless thermoelectric energy-harvesting interface circuit to extract electrical energy from human body heat is implemented in a 0.35 μm [mu m] CMOS process. A mechanically assisted startup circuit enables operation ... -
Battle Scars? The Puzzling Decline in Employment and Rise in Disability Receipt among Vietnam Era Veterans
(American Economic Association, 2011)The impact of military service in the Vietnam War on the well-being of veterans has been a contentious topic since at least the war’s end. A focal point of discussion is the prevalence of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder ... -
Baxter permuton and Liouville quantum gravity
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2023-01-31)Abstract The Baxter permuton is a random probability measure on the unit square which describes the scaling limit of uniform Baxter permutations. We determine an explicit formula for the density of the ... -
BAY61-3606 Affects the Viability of Colon Cancer Cells in a Genotype-Directed Manner
(Public Library of Science, 2012-07)Background: K-RAS mutation poses a particularly difficult problem for cancer therapy. Activating mutations in K-RAS are common in cancers of the lung, pancreas, and colon and are associated with poor response to therapy. ... -
Bayes and Blickets: Effects of Knowledge on Causal Induction in Children and Adults
(Wiley Blackwell, 2011-10)People are adept at inferring novel causal relations, even from only a few observations. Prior knowledge about the probability of encountering causal relations of various types and the nature of the mechanisms relating ... -
Bayes and Darwin: How replicator populations implement Bayesian computations
(Wiley, 2022)Bayesian learning theory and evolutionary theory both formalize adaptive competition dynamics in possibly high-dimensional, varying, and noisy environments. What do they have in common and how do they differ? In this paper, ... -
Bayesian Adaptive Clinical Trials for Anti-Infective Therapeutics During Epidemic Outbreaks
(MIT Press, 2020-05)In the midst of epidemics such as COVID-19, therapeutic candidates are unlikely to be able to complete the usual multiyear clinical trial and regulatory approval process within the course of an outbreak. We apply a Bayesian ... -
