A Descending Columbarium
The project is a columbarium and crematorium complex. It is located on the Eastern peripherie of Blacksburg, Virginia. The site slopes downward to the South East. The project is organized in an axial arrangement following the direction of the slope. The program of the building does not follow any …

Descending Locomotion in Primates
… of primate origins. </p><p>This thesis analyzed descending locomotion in nine species of strepsirrhine primates that occupy four locomotor categories: large arboreal generalists, representing above branch quadrupeds weighting over 1 kg; small arboreal generalists, representing above branch …

Descending Control of Limb Movements in Drosophila melanogaster
… but not limited to walking), the contribution of descending inputs to the generation of movements is difficult to study. Here we take advantage of the relatively small number of descending neurons (DNs) in the Drosophila melanogaster model system. We first characterize the number and distribution …

Descending premotor target tracking systems in flying insects
… pairs of bilaterally symmetric Target Selective Descending Neurons (TSDNs) relay visual information about small moving objects from the brain to the thoracic motor centres. These neurons encode the movement of small moving objects across the dorsal fovea region of the eye which is fixated on prey …

Spectral and ocellar inputs to honeybee motion-sensitive descending neurons
… wavelength processing in motion-sensitive descending neurons, which are on the optomotor response pathway, to reveal the neural contributions from other spectral receptor types. In this study, intracellular recording techniques were utilised. The stimuli consisted of a wide-field LED (light …

Antinociceptive actions of descending catecholaminergic tracts on dorsal horn somatosensory neurones
Ionophoretically-applied dopamine and noradrenaline selectively inhibited the nociceptive responses of multireceptive somatosensory dorsal horn neurones, whilst non-nociceptive responses, spontaneous activity and activity evoked by an ionophoretically-applied excitatory amino acid, DL-homocysteic …

Linear control model of the spinal processing of descending neural signals
… model of the spinal processing of descending neural kinematic motor control signals in the bullfrog (Rana Catesbeiana). The model encompasses the full nonlinear skeletal dynamics of the femur/tibiofibula/tarsus system in the horizontal plane, its muscles, and spinal monosynaptic …

Glutamate regulates neurite outgrowth of descending neurons in culture from larval lamprey
In spinal cord-transected larval lamprey, descending brain neurons, most of which are reticulospinal (RS) neurons, regenerate their axons across a transection site and contribute to behavioral recovery. In the present study, DiI-labeled descending brain neurons in larval lamprey were dissociated …

The Effects of Constant and Descending Criterion-Level Frequencies on Skill Acquisition Outcomes
… the constant criterion of one session to a descending criterion that required three consecutive days in the initial teaching phase followed by one day in subsequent phases. Additionally, Experiment 2 investigated if the constant (1-Day) and descending criterion had a varied effect on …

The Role of Voluntary Descending Control in Enhancing Motor Function Via Transcutaneous Spinal Cord Stimulation
… mechanism of how tSCS interacts with voluntary descending drive remains poorly understood. This study aims to investigate the role of voluntary descending control in influencing reflex responses triggered by tSCS.</p> <p>Electromyography (EMG) recordings were performed in ten unimpaired …

Descending caves : descent narratives and the subterranean science and literature of the long eighteenth century, 1680 - 1830
… that represented caves and the experiences of descending them, whether they were tangible or imagined. The changing perception of caves was an influence in many scientific and cultural fields, including: knowledge of earth science and the eventual specialization of geology with the assistance …

Relationship Between Intravascular Ultrasound Parameters and Fractional Flow Reserve in Intermediate Coronary Artery Stenosis of Left Anterior Descending Artery
… of intermediate stenosis of the left anterior descending artery (LAD). Myocardial ischemia was assessed by FFR and maximal hyperemia was induced by continuous intracoronary adenosine infusion. FFR < 0.80 was considered as significant inducible myocardial ischemia. We performed standard IVUS …

Late Complications in the Descending Aorta Following Valve-Sparing Root Replacement (VSRR) in Marfan Syndrome (MFS) Patients: A Computational Analysis
… an elevated risk of aortic dissection in the descending aorta (DA) following root surgery. Geometric factors related to either native anatomy or the root surgery may alter hemodynamic factors in the DA, potentially predisposing it to dissection. This study uses computational fluid dynamics …
