The aim of this study was to propose a new pathophysiological hypothesis for involuntary eye oscillation in infantile nystagmus (IN): patients with IN exhibit impaired gaze fixation, horizontal smooth pursuit and optokinetic nystagmus (OKN) and use saccadic eye movements for these underlying impairments.In order to induce saccades, they make enough
Suspended particles play a significant role in aquatic systems.However, existing methods to probe suspended particles have several limitations.In this paper, we present a portable prototype to in situ probe individual particles in aquatic suspensions by simultaneously measuring polarized light scattering and fluorescence, aiming to obtain BLENDING
During the liberalization process the UK regulatory authority introduced a behavioral remedy (through price-cap regulation) and structural remedy (through divestment series) in order to mitigate an exercise of market power and lower the influence of incumbent producers on wholesale electricity prices.We study the impact of these remedies on the dyn
Abstract Background The optimal stage for initiating antiretroviral therapies in HIV-1 bearing patients is still a matter of debate.Methods We present computer simulations of HIV-1 infection aimed at identifying the pro et contra of immediate as compared to Hoodie deferred Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART).Results Our simulations highlig
Plants have evolved sophisticated systems for regulating the biosynthesis of specialized phytochemicals.Artemisinin, which is a sesquiterpene lactone widely used in anti-malaria treatment, is produced by the Artemisia annua L.plant.However, the artemisinin content in A.annua is low and difficult to meet market demands.Studies have shown that Ball -
