In general, sensitivity and specificity with a >60% carotid stenosis as positive were not improved with the addition of ratios to PSF data. It was observed that the combination of a PSF shift of >5 KHz and an ICA/CCA ratio of greater than 3.4 yielded a specificity of 99%, thereby ...
Analysis indicated that the ratio of significant wave period to wave energy period is closely related to the Goda peakedness parameter of the wave spectra. Therefore, we proposed an empirical formula in which significant wave period is a function of wave energy period and the Goda peakedness ...
Interestingly, Tokuda and colleagues have identified elevated levels of α-synuclein oligomers and an increased oligomers/total-α-synuclein ratio in the cerebrospinal fluid in PD patients, suggesting that α-synuclein oligomers may contribute to the progression of PD [51]. Recent discoveries have also...
cat. no. KIT0204). 1 μg of RNA was used for reverse transcription using the High Capacity RNA-to-cDNA kit (Life Technologies, cat. no. 4387406), and cDNA samples were diluted with nuclease-free water at a 1:2 ratio. Quantitative...
[144,174]. A study analysing microglial heterogeneity across species at different stages of life, reveals that the human brain has a larger microglial cell volume and a lower neuron-to-microglia ratio than the mouse brain. Moreover, higher microglial density is observed in the frontal cortex of...
, including the discrimination ratio (DR) during the novel object recognition (NOR) (Fig.3a), interaction time during the social interaction task (SI) (Fig.3b), latency to find the hidden platform during the training (Fig.3c) and probe trials of the Morris water maze (MWM) (Fig.3D) ...
One major challenge in detecting EEG waveforms from single trials is the poor signal to noise ratio (SNR) of the EEG in general. EEG signals represent, in fact, the superposition of potentials produced by a large neuronal population. Therefore, the amplitude of the irrelevant EEG activity is ...
it is also found that the BS ecosystem, as a whole, is limited by nitrogen all the year round, though the phosphorus limitation is apparent in the Laizhou Bay where the ratio of nitrogen concentration to phosphorus concentration is higher than 16 due to the contribution of newly added nutrient...
The α5-PKO mice are born at the expected Mendelian ratio, fail to show gross abnormalities, and have a normal lifespan. Using lineage-tracing technique, we have demonstrated that Pdgfrβ-Cre specifically targets mural cells in the brain [26]. Immunohistochemistry revealed laminin-α2 and lamini...
b The ratio of the intensity of the RT-PCR signal of IE3, E1 or EGFP to that of ß-actin. Mean ± SEM of 3 mouse cerebrums in each experimental group are shown (wild-type MCMV, white bar; rMCMV1373, gray bar; rMCMV448, black bar). *p < 0.01 vs. corresponding rMC...
