Interaural asymmetry using dichotic filtered words in children with suspected auditory processing disorder: preliminary findings
(2012-05-11)• The direction and magnitude of interaural asymmetry (IA) on dichotic listening tests is often evaluated during diagnostic assessment for APD, with excessive IA (e.g., left-ear deficit) often taken as a sign of the disorder. ... -
Influence of headphones versus loudspeaker presentation of dichotic speech on ear advantage
(2012-08-10)A right-ear advantage (REA) is a robust phenomenon on dichotic speech tests. Biases in speech perception and cognitive control are believed to produce ear advantage.1 Headphones are often used to deliver dichotic stimuli ... -
OLego: Fast and Sensitive Mapping of Spliced mRNA-Seq Reads Using Small Seeds
(Oxford University Press, 2013-04)A crucial step in analyzing mRNA-Seq data is to accurately and efficiently map hundreds of millions of reads to the reference genome and exon junctions. Here we present OLego, an algorithm specifically designed for de novo ... -
Modeling a Sensor to Improve its Efficacy
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2013-05-20)Robots rely on sensors to provide them with information about their surroundings. However, high-quality sensors can be extremely expensive and cost-prohibitive. Thus many robotic systems must make due with lower-quality ... -
Age-Related Similarities and Differences in Brain Activity Underlying Reversal Learning
(2013-05-29)The ability to update associative memory is an important aspect of episodic memory and a critical skill for social adaptation. Previous research with younger adults suggests that emotional arousal alters brain mechanisms ... -
Synthetic Mammalian Transgene Negative Autoregulation
(2013-06-04)Biological networks contain overrepresented small-scale topologies, typically called motifs. A frequently appearing motif is the transcriptional negative-feedback loop, where a gene product represses its own transcription. ... -
A New Catalyst-Embedded Hierarchical Air Electrode For High-Performance Li-O₂ Batteries
(2013-06-05)The Li-O₂ battery holds great promise as an ultra-high-energy- density device. However, its limited rechargeability and low energy efficiency remain key barriers to its practical application. Herein, we demonstrate that ... -
Complete Genome Analysis of Three Acinetobacter Baumannii Clinical Isolates in China for Insight into the Diversification of Drug Resistance Elements
(2013-06-24)Background: The emergence and rapid spreading of multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii strains has become a major health threat worldwide. To better understand the genetic recombination related with the acquisition ... -
Transcripts for Combined Synthetic MicroRNA and Gene Delivery
(2013-06-26)MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of short noncoding RNAs which are endogenously expressed in many organisms and regulate gene expression by binding to messenger RNA (mRNA). MicroRNAs are either produced from their independent ... -
FastDMA: An Infinium Humanmethylation450 Beadchip Analyzer
(2013-09-05)DNA methylation is vital for many essential biological processes and human diseases. Illumina Infinium HumanMethylation450 Beadchip is a recently developed platform studying genome-wide DNA methylation state on more than ... -
Superconductivity in an inhomogeneous bundle of metallic and semiconducting nanotubes
(2013-09-06)Using Bogoliubov-de Gennes formalism for inhomogeneous systems, we have studied superconducting properties of a bundle of packed carbon nanotubes, making a triangular lattice in the bundle's transverse cross-section. The ... -
Conductive Functional Biscrolled Polymer and Carbon Nanotube Yarns
(2013-10-10)Biscrolling aligned electrospun fiber (AEF) sheets and carbon nanotube (CNT) sheets were fabricated for conductive, functional yarns by a versatile dry composite method. Our biscrolling (twist-based spinning) method is ... -
Electrochemically Gated Organic Photovoltaic with Tunable Carbon Nanotube Cathodes
(2013-10-18)We demonstrate an organic photovoltaic (OPV) device with an electrochemically gated carbon nanotube (CNT) charge collector. Bias voltages applied to the gate electrode reconfigure the common CNT electrode from an anode ... -
Integrated Omics Study Delineates the Dynamics of Lipid Droplets in Rhodococcus Opacus PD630
(Oxford University Press, 2013-10-22)Rhodococcus opacus strain PD630 (R. opacus PD630), is an oleaginous bacterium, and also is one of few prokaryotic organisms that contain lipid droplets (LDs). LD is an important organelle for lipid storage but also ... -
Access to High School Arts Education: Why Student Participation Matters as much as Course Availability
(2013-11-04)There is renewed interest in the role of arts education in the curriculum of U.S. public schools not only because of the intrinsic value of the arts and its believed impact on achievement, but because cultivating creativity ...
