Gamma oscillations in the basolateral amygdala : biophysical mechanisms and computational consequences
(Society for Neuroscience, 2019)
The basolateral nucleus of the amygdala (BL) is thought to support numerous emotional behaviors through specific microcircuits. These are often thought to be comprised of feedforward networks of principal cells (PNs) and ...
Beta 3 adrenergic receptor activation rescues metabolic dysfunction in female estrogen receptor alpha-null mice
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2019)
Metabolic disease risk escalates following menopause. The mechanism is not fully known, but likely involves reduced signaling through estrogen receptor alpha (ER[alpha]), which is highly expressed in brown and white adipose ...

(Universidad de Antioquia, 2019)
In this editorial, the author reflects on the state of research on academic literacies in Latin American higher education. To this end, the author presents a description of the context of higher education in Latin America ...
Understanding the asymmetrical thermoelectric performance for discovering promising thermoelectric materials
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2019)
Thermoelectric modules, consisting of multiple pairs of n- and p-type legs, enable converting heat into electricity and vice versa. However, the thermoelectric performance is often asymmetrical, in that one type outperforms ...
Effects of dry or wet conditions during the preweaning phase on subsequent feedlot performance and carcass composition of beef cattle
(Oxford University Press, 2019)
Our objective was to determine the effects of dry and wet conditions during the preweaning on subsequent feedlot performance and carcass characteristics of beef cattle. Steers (n = 7,432) and heifers (n = 2,361) finished ...
Outcome and complications in goats treated by perineal urethrostomy for obstructive urolithiasis: 25 cases (2010-2017)
(Blackwell Publishing Inc., 2019)
Background: Obstructive urolithiasis commonly affects male goats. Perineal urethrostomy (PU) can be a permanent treatment option but is generally considered undesirable because of the risk of stricture of the urethral ...
Conformal symmetry, accelerated observers, and nonlocality
(MDPI AG, 2019)
The acceleration transformations form a 4-parameter Abelian subgroup of the conformal group of Minkowski spacetime. The passive interpretation of acceleration transformations leads to a congruence of uniformly accelerated ...
Transforming lignin into porous graphene via direct laser writing for solid-state supercapacitors
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2019)
Cost-effective valorization of lignin into carbon-based electrode materials remains a challenge. Here we reported a facile and ultrafast laser writing technique to convert lignin into porous graphene as active electrode ...
How do these 3 diabetes agents compare in reducing mortality?
(Family Physicians Inquiries Network, 2019)
How do these 3 diabetes agents compare in reducing mortality? A meta-analysis reveals that there may be advantages associated with SGLT-2 inhibitors and GLP-1 agonists that are not associated with DPP-4 inhibitors. PRACTICE ...
