ASSESSMENT OF NEUROTENSIN RECEPTOR AGONIST EFFECTS ON FEAR-POTENTIATED STARTLE
… mice using the fear-potentiated startle (FPS) paradigm. Startle chambers were equipped with a shock-grid floor, fluorescent light, and an acoustic startle speaker. Conditioning took place between the light and floor shock, and test sessions measured startle to a 90 dB noise burst while the …

The cognitive, physiological and behavioural indicators of excessive and regular video gaming
… type of game known as first-person shooters (FPS). The results indicate a clear preference for highly impulsive individuals to play FPS games, but no behavioural indicators of impulsivity were found in regular FPS gamers. Excessive FPS gamers had significant higher levels of behavioural …

A Study of Fusion Product Effects in Field-Reversed Mirrors
The effect of fusion products (fps) on Field-Reversed Mirror (FRM) reactor concepts has been evaluated through the development of two new computer models. The first code (MCFRM) treats fps as test particles in a fixed background plasma, which is represented as a fluid. MCFRM includes a Monte Carlo …

Effect of Forage Physical Form on Chewing Activity, Dry Matter Intake, and Rumen Function of Dairy Cows
Forage particle size (FPS) has been extensively investigated as a modifier of dry matter intake (DMI), chewing activity, and digesta passage in sheep and steers fed all forage diets, but has not been examined using dairy cows in early lactation. The purpose of this study was to determine effect of …

Tools and methods for the quality assurance of force platforms in human movement analysis
… a portable system for the in situ calibration of FPs. The thesis is structured as follows: Chapter 1. Description of the physical principles used for the functioning of a FP: how these principles are used to create force transducers, such as strain gauges and piezoelectrics transducers. Then, …

Compressed fluorescence lifetime imaging microscope
… high-resolution FLIM at 100 frames per second (fps). This system, referred to as compressed FLIM, can capture a widefield lifetime image of 500 450 pixels within a single camera snapshot and operate real-time two-dimensional (2D) FLIM at 100 fps. By combining compressed ultrafast photography …

Novel Design Strategies For Engineering Biliverdin-Binding Fluorescent Proteins
Fluorescent proteins (FPs) have revolutionized our ability to image biological systems. However, poor penetration and high autofluorescence of visible light in mammalian tissue has motivated the design of FPs that can take advantage of the minimal autofluorescence, scattering, and absorption in the …

Empirical Methods for Evaluating Video-Mediated Collaborative Work
… above approximately 10 frames per second (fps), suggesting a curvilinear relationship between image quality and frame rate. For a traditional conferencing scene, however, a linear increase in frame rate produced a linear improvement in perceived image quality. High detail scenes were …

Regulation of Expression of a Retroviral Transforming Gene and its Cellular Homolog
… role in cell transformation by this virus. v-fps, the transforming gene of FSV is homologous to a cellular gene, c-fps, present in uninfected cells. We obtained a specific antiserum directed against the v-fps domain of P130. This antiserum specifically crossreacts with a cellular protein of MW …

Effect of helium, strontium and silver implanted into silicon carbide on the structural changes and migration of the implants
Containment of radioactive fission products (FPS) is a cornerstone in the revival of nuclear reactors as a clean energy source. In modern generation IV nuclear reactors, safety is enhanced by coating the fuel kernel with four layers of chemical vapour deposited carbon and silicon carbide (SiC). The …
