Generation of focal Depdc5 knockout mouse model and implications for focal epilepsy
… identified gene associated with familial focal epilepsy and malformations of cortical development. It is also associated with an increased risk of Sudden-Unexplained Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP). It remains unknown whether seizures due to DEPDC5 loss are a result of in utero cortical …

Investigation of the GATOR1 complex genes in focal cortical dysplasia and focal epilepsy
… genes have been found in patients with familial focal epilepsy and focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) type II. Heterozygous patients are affected with variable severity, variable foci and incomplete penetrance. The function of these genes and the mechanisms of how their mutation cause the disease are …

Memory for Non-Focal Words
… paradigm was used to simultaneously present a focal word and an incidental non-focal word. The participants' task was to process the focal word in one of two conditions: naming aloud or a conceptual decision (concrete or abstract). The focal and non-focal words were either semantically related …

Focal lengths and gravity waves
Film is composed of tiny photographs which, when projected, sometimes look very much like people and things in the real world. Film, too, cannot be separated from its tools. Aesthetic criticism was, and still is, weighted towards consideration of the life-like tiny photographs. This thesis traces …

Reading comprehension in pediatric focal epilepsy
… little is known regarding differential impact of focal seizure activity within reading-specific neural networks and contribution of well-known reading support processes, namely working memory and executive functioning. The purpose of this study was to determine whether focus location (frontal vs. …

Electrochemical Focal Hypoxia for Cell Models
… time. It is not possible to induce hypoxia focally such that these approaches have very limited translatability and resemblance to the physiology and pathophysiology of the local tissue. Thus, our ability to focus on the geography of events emerging from hypoxia has been limited. This thesis …

Legal financial obligations: a focal concerns perspective
… the monetary amount of these LFOs. Drawing on focal concerns theory, first developed by Steffensmeier (1980), which identifies three factors used by court actors in criminal sentencing: blameworthiness of the offender, protection of community, and practical constraints and consequences. …

Isoparametric hypersurfaces with a homogeneous focal manifold
… hypersurfaces in spheres with a homogeneous focal manifold is a project that has been started by Linus Kramer. It extends results by E. Cartan and Hsiang and Lawson. Kramer does most part of this classification in his Habilitationsschrift. In particular he obtains a classification for the …

Frequency-Dependent Conduction Block In Demyelinating Focal Neuropathies
… demonstrate conduction block across regions of focal demyelination by utilizing a conventional electrophysiological technique used frequently in the diagnosis of peripheral nerve disease. Specifically, patients with moderate to severe carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), but, with no evidence of …

Dissecting interactions within focal adhesions: studies on vinculin
… and paxillin are proteins that localise to focal adhesions. Focal adhesions are<br/>specialised sites of cell attachment between the cytoplasmic side of the cell membrane and<br/>the extracellular matrix. They consist of receptors that link extracellular matrix ligands to<br/>the actin …

Area-constrained frequency estimation for focal plane arrays
… frequency and amplitude of signals generated by focal plane array (FPA) on a per-pixel basis, i.e., pixel-matched processing. Addressing this problem requires the design of signal processing algorithms and circuit architectures subject to stringent area constraints imposed by the pixel pitch, …

Barbiturate treatment in experimental transient focal cerebral ischaemia
… theoretically attractive situation of transient focal cerebral ischaemia simulating a cerebral vessel occlusion followed by re-vascularization, had not been specifically investigated with barbiturate treatment. Cerebral infarction is progressive and evolves over hours, proceeding from ischaemia …

Quantitative multi-modal analysis of pediatric focal epilepsy
For patients with medically refractive focal epilepsy, surgical intervention to remove the epileptic foci is often the last alternative for permanent cure. The success of such surgery is highly dependent on the doctor's ability to accurately locate the epileptogenic region during the pre-surgical …
