The Decade Of The Dendritic Nmda Spike, Srdjan D. Antic, Wen-Liang Zho, Anna R. Moore, Shaina M. Shor, Katerina D. Ikonomu

UCHC Articles - Research

In the field of cortical cellular physiology, much effort has been invested in understanding thick apical drites of pyramidal neurons and the regenerative sodium and calcium spikes that take place in the apical trunk. Here we focus on thin dendrites of pyramidal cells (basal, oblique, and tuft dendrites), and we discuss one relatively novel form of an electrical signal (“NMDA spike”) that is specific for these branches. Basal, oblique, and apical tuft dendrites receive a high density of glutamatergic synaptic contacts. Synchronous activation of 10–50 neighboring glutamatergic synapses triggers a local dendritic regenerative potential, NMDA spike/plateau, which is characterized by …

A Sensitivity Analysis Of Gibbs Sampling For 3pno Irt Models, Yanyan Sheng

Publications

The performance of the Gibbs sampling procedure for the three-parameter normal ogive (3PNO) IRT model was investigated using Monte Carlo simulations. Model parameters were estimated for tests with 10, 20, and 40 items and samples of 100, 300, 500, and 1000 examinees, where different actual values and prior specifications were considered for the item parameters. Summary statistics showed that this procedure was more affected by the choice of the prior distributions for the three-parameter model than the two-parameter model. For the 3PNO model, appropriate informative priors with relatively small spread should be adopted for the slope and intercept parameters to …

Olympia, Reinventing The Nude, Holly Mcguire

Student Scholarship

Manet’s modernist depiction of the female nude as seen in Olympia sent shockwaves throughout the art world and forever changed the way we view nudes. Camille Lemonnier described the nude as such in 1870 “ The nude was modesty only if it is not a transitory state. It hides nothing because there is nothing to hide. The moment it hides something it becomes prurient, for in reality it shows it all the better. In order to stay virgin the nude in art must be impersonal and must not particularize; art has no need of a beauty spot upon the neck …

Water And Fertilizer Influence On Sorghum Grain Quality For Traditional Beer (Dolo) Production In Burkina Faso, S. Palé, S. J.B. Taonda, B. Bougouma, Stephen C. Mason

INTSORMIL Scientific Publications

In the Central Plateau of Burkina Faso, grain sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] is the major cereal crop used to produce the traditional beer called dolo. Grain sorghum grain samples collected in 2004 and 2005 from experiments combining five water management techniques and four fertilizer treatments in a randomized complete block design with a split plot arrangement of treatments were analyzed for the physicochemical properties of raw grain, and quality of malted grain. Water management techniques were allocated to main plots and fertilizer treatments to subplots. The objective was to determine the best combination of water management technique and …
