Evaluation of Building Resilience Under Earthquake Input Using Single, Double and Multiple Impulses
(2017)
This eBook is the third in a series of books on the critical earthquake response of elastic or elastic-plastic structures under near-fault or long-duration ground motions, and includes four original research papers which ...
Essential Pathways and Circuits of Autism Pathogenesis
(2016)
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate that 1 in 68 children in the United states is afflicted with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), yet at this time, there is no cure for the disease. Autism is characterized ...
Emergent Public Health Issues in the US-Mexico Border Region
(2017)
US-Mexico border region area has unique social, demographic and policy forces at work that shape the health of its residents as well as serves as a microcosm of migration health challenges facing an increasingly mobile and ...
Emergent neural computation from the interaction of different forms of plasticity
(2016)
From the propagation of neural activity through synapses, to the integration of signals in the dendritic arbor, and the processes determining action potential generation, virtually all aspects of neural processing are ...
Enzymes from Extreme Environments
(2016)
Enzymes are nature’s biocatalysts empowered with high catalytic power and remarkable substrate specificity. Enzymes perform a wide range of functions throughout nature, and guide the biochemistry of life with great precision. ...
CNS Recovery after Structural and/or Physiological/Psychological Damage
(2016)
There is an assumption that environmental threats could cause important damages in central nervous system. As a consequence, several forms of brain structural plasticity could be affected. The environmentally mediated risks ...
The Cognitive Thalamus
(2015)
Cognitive processing is commonly conceptualized as being restricted to the cerebral cortex. Accordingly, electrophysiology, neuroimaging and lesion studies involving human and animal subjects have almost exclusively focused ...
The cognitive, emotional and neural correlates of creativity
(2015)
Across species, humans have an unsurpassed capacity for creative thought and innovation. Human creativity is at the roots of extraordinary achievements in the arts and sciences, and enables individuals and their groups to ...
Emerging Approaches for Typing, Detection, Characterization, and Traceback of Escherichia coli, 2nd Edition
(2018)
Pathogenic Escherichia coli strains cause a large number of diseases in humans, including diarrhea, hemorrhagic colitis, hemolytic uremic syndrome, urinary tract infections, and neonatal meningitis, while in animals they ...
Emerging Approaches for Typing, Detection, Characterization, and Traceback of Escherichia coli
(2017)
Pathogenic Escherichia coli strains cause a large number of diseases in humans, including diarrhea, hemorrhagic colitis, hemolytic uremic syndrome, urinary tract infections, and neonatal meningitis, while in animals they ...
Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress Response and Transcriptional Reprogramming
(2015)
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is an intracellular organelle responsible for protein folding and assembly, lipid and sterol biosynthesis, and calcium storage. A number of biochemical, physiological, or pathological stimuli can ...
Evidence-Based Programming for Older Adults
(2015)
There is increased world-wide concern about the impact of multiple chronic conditions, especially among the rapidly aging population. Simultaneously, over the past decade there has been an emergence of state-wide and ...
Evidence-Based Practices to Reduce Falls and Fall-Related Injuries Among Older Adults
(2018)
Falls and fall-related injuries among older adults have emerged as serious global health concerns, which place a burden on individuals, their families, and greater society. As fall incidence rates increase alongside our ...
The Evolution and Development of the Antibody Repertoire
(2015)
Although at first glance mechanisms used to create the variable domains of immunoglobulin appear to be designed to generate diversity at random, closer inspection reveals striking evolutionary constraints on the sequence ...
Effects of Game and Game-like Training on Neurocognitive Plasticity
(2016)
Cognitive training is not always effective. This is also the case for the form of cognitive training that this Research Topic focuses on: prolonged performance on game-like cognitive tasks. The ultimate goal of this cognitive ...
The effect of hearing loss on neural processing
(2015)
Efficient auditory processing requires the rapid integration of transient sensory inputs. This is exemplified in human speech perception, in which long stretches of a complex acoustic signal are typically processed accurately ...
Effects of Climate Change Across Ocean Regions
(2018)
The IPCC Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) highlighted that conditions within Earth’s ocean are changing more rapidly than any of the time during the past 65 million years, and as a consequence, major changes are occurring in ...
The Clinical and Ethical Practice of Neuromodulation - Deep Brain Stimulation and Beyond
