Hippocampal modulation of cingulate cortex and limbic thalamus during learning
… Enhanced neuronal discharges in the mediodorsal (MDN) and the anterior ventral (AVN) thalamic nuclei were found in rabbits with the combined lesions of posterior cingulate cortex and subiculum in Experiment 1 as after the separate lesions in a previous study (Gabriel et al, 1987). The frequency of …

Understanding the Impacts of Freshwater Fluxes on the Biogeochemistry of the Coastal Arctic: A Case Study of Prudhoe Bay
… coefficient of determination (R^2) between the MDN and Level-2 chlorophyll-a data were both found to be low compared to the observed data, the utilization of weights in a Taylor diagram analysis provided more nuanced insights. By considering the influence of river distance and discharge in the …

A quantitative examination of self-regulation, parental experience, and age of biological parents.
… The results indicated that younger parents (Mdn = 65) had slightly lower levels of PSR compared to older parents (Mdn = 66). However, the difference between the groups was not statistically significant (p = 0.178), and there was a small effect size (r = 0.21). A small effect size means the …

An employee engagement analysis of XYZ College: New Zealand
… experienced as most favourable was “commitment” (Mdn=4.43) whereas the factor they experiences the most unfavourable was “pay and rewards” (Mdn=2.97). The drivers of engagement were identified as job clarity, organisational reputation, flexible job conditions, and trust. On the other hand, the …

The impacts of alder (alnus spp.) and salmon (oncorhynchus spp.) on aquatic nutrient dynamics and microbial communities in southwestern Alaska
… harvesting reduces marine-derived nutrients (MDN) in salmon-spawning habitats. I evaluated the drivers and impacts of alder- and salmon-derived nutrients on aquatic systems by analyzing stream and lake water chemistry from a suite of 26 streams and 13 lakes, over a four-year period in SW …
