To survive, animals must learn to control their movements with millisecond-level precision, and adjust the kinematics if conditions, or task requirements, change.Here, we examine adaptive timing of motor output in mice, using a simple eyelid conditioning task.Mice were trained to blink in response to a light stimulus that was always followed by a c
Probability of disease extinction and outbreak in a stochastic tuberculosis model with fast-slow progression and relapse
A stochastic continuous-time Markov chain tuberculosis model with fast-slow progression and relapse is established to explore the impact of the demographic variation on TB transmission.At first, the extinction threshold and probability of the disease extinction and outbreak are obtained by applying the Beaker Bongs multitype Galton-Waston branching
Doxorubicin Caused Apoptosis of Mesenchymal Stem Cells via p38, JNK and p53 Pathway
Background/Aims: Doxorubicin Myrrh Gum is a widely used chemotherapeutic agent, but its clinical use is restricted because of a high risk of cardiotoxicity.Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) may repair ischaemically damaged myocardium through transdifferentiation and paracrine action.The aim of this study is to investigate if doxoru
The role of selfreflexivity on the part of gay male academics on South African university campuses
The article reports on the findings of a qualitative sociologicalstudy conducted between June and December 2012 with 17 self-identified gay male academics on their experiences in South African tertiary education.Adopting a queer theoretical critique of the process of self-reflexivity, the research focused on how the participants experience homophob
