Kelley, Darcy B.; Elliott, Taffeta M.; Evans, Ben J.; Evans, Ben J.; Hall, Ian C.; Rhodes, Heather J.; Yamaguchi, Ayako; Zornik, Erik | Probing forebrain to hindbrain circuit functions in Xenopus | The vertebrate hindbrain includes neural circuits that govern essential functions including breathing, blood pressure and heart rate. Hindbrain circuits also participate in generating rhythmic motor patterns for vocalization. In most tetrapods, sound production is powered by expiration and the circu... | fictive respiration; vocalization; pattern generation | 2016 |

Gooch, Bruce; Reinhard, Erik | Perception-driven black-and-white drawings and caricatures | In this paper, we present a method for automatically creating black-and-white drawings of human faces from photographs. We then demonstrate new techniques for deforming these drawings to create caricatures intended to highlight and exaggerate facial features. A number of psychophysical studies we... | Caricatures; Human faces | 2002-01-22 |

Dawson, Kyle | The effects of charge transfer inefficiency (CTI) on galaxy shape measurements | We examine the effects of charge transfer inefficiency (CTI) during CCD readout on the demanding galaxy shape measurements required by studies of weak gravitational lensing. We simulate a CCD readout with CTI such as that caused by charged particle radiation damage in space-based detectors. We verif... | 2010 | |

Potts, Wayne K.; Granger, Donald Lee | Major histocompatibility complex-dependent susceptibility to Cryptococcus neoformans in mice | To evaluate the role of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes in the resistance to Cryptococcus neoformans, we conducted infection experiments in MHC-congenic strains of mice. Significant MHC-dependent susceptibility differences were found among homozygotes and heterozygotes. This study is th... | MHC-congenic; Host resistance; Infection | 2003 |

Lawton, Kristy J. | Motor neurons tune premotor activity in a vertebrate central pattern generator | Central patterns generators (CPGs) are neural circuits that drive rhythmic motor output without sensory feedback. Vertebrate CPGs are generally believed to operate in a top-down manner in which premotor interneurons activate motor neurons that in turn drive muscles. In contrast, the frog (Xenopus la... | CPG; feed back; synchrony; vocal; vocalization; Xenopus | 2017 |

Yamaguchi, Ayako | Coding rate and duration of vocalizations of the frog , Xenopus laevis | Vocalizations involve complex rhythmic motor patterns, but the underlying temporal coding mechanisms in the nervous system are poorly understood. Using a recently developed whole-brain preparation from which "fictive" vocalizations are readily elicited in vitro, we investigated the cellular basis of... | 2012-08-29 | |

Potts, Wayne K. | Relationship of virulence factor expression to evolved virulence in mouse-passaged Cryptococcus neoformans lines | Serial passage of Cryptococcus neoformans in mice increases virulence relative to the nonpassaged line. Postpassaged lines showed no difference in the expression of most known virulence factors, with the exception that the more virulent lines had smaller capsules in vitro. These data imply that othe... | Capsule; Death; Passage | 2005 |

Yamaguchi, Ayako | Development of an acute method to deliver transgenes into the brains of adult Xenopus laevis | The central vocal pathway of the African clawed frog, Xenopus laevis, is a powerful vertebrate model to understand mechanisms underlying central pattern generation. However, fast and efficient methods of introducing exogenous genes into the neurons of adult X. laevis are currently not available.

Gopalakrishnan, Ganesh | Visual analysis of uncertainties in ocean forecasts for planning and operation of off-shore structures | We present a novel integrated visualization system that enables interactive visual analysis of ensemble simulations used in ocean forecasting, i.e, simulations of sea surface elevation. Our system enables the interactive planning of both the placement and operation of off-shore structures. We illust... | 2013-01-01 | |

Khan, Faisal Habib | A high-efficiency modular switched-capacitor converter with continuously variable conversion ratio | The multilevel modular capacitor clamped converter (MMCCC) topology overcomes the difficulties of the multilevel switched capacitor (SC) based dc-to-dc converters in high conversion ratio applications. MMCCC is completely modular and has many other advantageous features. Like most other SC converter... | 2012-01-01 | |

Khan, Faisal Habib | Output impedance modeling of a multilevel modular switched-capacitor converter to achieve continuously variable conversion ratio | The multilevel modular capacitor clamped dc-to-dc converter (MMCCC) topology is completely modular and belongs to two-phase switched capacitor converter group. The conversion ratio of an ideal MMCCC converter in step-up mode is an integer and depends on the number of modules used. For a k-module MMC... | 2012-01-01 | |

Schmidt, Meic H. | Pigmented villonodular synovitis associated with pathological fracture of the odontoid and atlantoaxial instability | PPigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) is a proliferative disorder of the synovium with a predisposition for the appendicular skeleton. Rarely PVNS can arise from the spine, where this disorder usually presents with localized or radicular pain secondary to involvement of the posterior elements.

Clayton, Dale H. | How effective is preening against mobile ectoparasites? An experimental test with pigeons and hippoboscid flies | Birds combat ectoparasites with many defences but the first line of defence is grooming behaviour, which includes preening with the bill and scratching with the feet. Preening has been shown to be very effective against ectoparasites. However, most tests have been with feather lice, which are relati... | 2012-01-01 | |

Battin, Margaret P. | False dichotomy versus genuine choice the argument over physician-assisted dying | Despite a growing consensus that palliative care should be a core part of the treatment offered to all severely ill patients who potentially face death,1 challenging questions remain. How broad a choice should patients have in guiding the course of their own dying? What limitations should be placed ... | 2004 | |

Garrett, Timothy J. | Observed influence of riming, temperature, and turbulence on the fallspeed of solid precipitation | Forecasts of the amount and geographic distribution of snow are highly sensitive to a model's parameterization of hydrometeor fallspeed.
