Abstract A significant component of the repetitive dynamics during locomotion in vertebrates is generated within the spinal cord. The legged locomotion of mammals is most likely controled by a hierarchical, multi-layer spinal network structure, while the axial circuitry generating the undulatory swimming motion of animals like lamprey is thought to...
Circadian rhythms — physiological, behavioral, and metabolic oscillations with an approximate 24-h period — are controlled by an evolutionarily conserved set of core clock genes operating at the transcriptional and protein level. Entrainable by Zeitgebers (external environmental stimuli such as light, temperature, and food) that modulate time-of-day specific functions, the...
This data was a part of a REDCap survey opened from 5/6/2020 to 7/7/2020. Potential participants with cerebral palsy and their families voluntarily responded to various questions about the motivators, barriers, and goals associated with the decision to participate in cerebral palsy research. Included in this work are the dataset...
Throughout the last two decades several scholars observed that present-day research into human genes rarely turns toward genes that had not already been extensively investigated in the past. Guided by hypotheses derived from studies of science and innovation, we present here a literature-wide data-driven meta-analysis to identify the specific scientific...
This is the raw data for an article in the process of being published. The article's abstract is: There is evidence suggesting that during walking the whole body center-of-mass (COM) trajectory may be a control objective, a goal that the central nervous system chooses optimal solutions around to plan and...
Background: Neural impairments that follow hemiparetic stroke may negatively affect passive muscle properties, further limiting recovery. However, factors such as hypertonia, spasticity, and botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT), a common clinical intervention, confound our understanding of muscle properties in chronic stroke.
Objective: To determine if muscle passive biomechanical properties are different following...
Astronomers are studying how young stellar objects (YSOs) develop and accrete mass. The variability of the YSO brightness can give information about the rate of accretion and the growth of these young stars. The YSOs described in this project are found in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a galaxy nearby to...
My submission is a data dashboard that depicts global trends for new and total COVID-19 cases between Jan 01, 2020 and March 08, 2021. It contains two tabs (new and total cases) with three interactive visualizations. Two maps, an original and a log-scale-filled, show the number of new COVID-19 cases...
American communities of color have shouldered a disproportionate share of the COVID-19 pandemic’s burden. For instance, at peak, Hispanic/Latino Americans experienced a weekly all-cause death burden 130.9% in excess of previous years. Not all excess deaths are directly attributable to COVID-19—there is emerging evidence that delays in care associated with...
ARTICLE 3: TITLE. A phase-shifting anterior-posterior network organizes global phase relations. ABSTRACT. Prior research has identified a variety of task-dependent networks that form through inter-regional phase-locking of oscillatory activity that are neural correlates of specific behaviors. Despite ample knowledge of task-specific functional networks, general rules governing global phase relations have..., ARTICLE 1: TITLE. Probabilistic, entropy-maximizing control of large-scale neural synchronization.
ABSTRACT. Oscillatory neural activity is dynamically controlled to coordinate perceptual, attentional and cognitive processes. On the macroscopic scale, this control is reflected in the U-shaped deviations of EEG spectral-power dynamics from stochastic dynamics, characterized by disproportionately elevated occurrences of the..., and ARTICLE 2: TITLE. Spatiotemporal dynamics of maximal and minimal EEG spectral power.
ABSTRACT. Oscillatory neural activities are prevalent in the brain with their phase realignment contributing to the coordination of neural communication. Phase realignments may have especially strong (or weak) impact when neural activities are strongly synchronized (or desynchronized) within...
The data file contains federal criminal cases as observations and case attribute variables. This data file is the basis for the article Discretion and Disparity in Federal Detention, 115 Nw. U. L. Rev. 1261 (2021), available at: https://scholarlycommons.law.northwestern.edu/nulr/vol115/iss5/1/. This data file is created with data from the U.S. Sentencing Commission...
Readme for Federal Circuit data file created by Melissa F. Wasserman and Jonathan D. Slack. The data file contains Federal Circuit opinions in each row and case/opinion attributes on the columns. The data file covers opinions issued from 10.13.2004 through 1.30.2018. This data file is the basis for the article...
Patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) experience lifelong struggles with both chronic and acute pain, often requiring medical intervention. Pain can be managed with medications, but dosages must balance the goal of pain mitigation against the risks of tolerance, addiction and other adverse effects. Setting appropriate dosages requires knowledge of...
In the early decades of the NAES College library, librarians kept a physical card catalog which described, organized, and made findable all of the materials faculty, students, staff, and their relations might need as part of their experience at the college. Representing a unique view of the library in the...
