The Blackfoot demonstrative system: Function, form, and meaning
… analysis of the Blackfoot demonstrative system. Previous research on Blackfoot (Uhlenbeck 1938, Taylor 1969, Frantz 2009) identifies sixteen morphemes that make up demonstrative words in the language. I propose a demonstrative template that takes into account the fixed morpheme ordering …

A Molecular Basis for Macrophage Control of Enteric Nervous System Function
… intestinal macrophages and the enteric nervous system regulate gastrointestinal motility, yet we have an incomplete understanding of the molecular mediators of this crosstalk. Here we identify complement component 1q (C1q) as a macrophage product that regulates gut motility. Macrophages were the …

The Role of CASK in Central Nervous System Function and Disorder
… how different regions of the central nervous system (CNS) are affected by genetic insults is critical to advancing the study of CNS pathologies. The cerebellum is one such region which is disproportionately hypoplastic in the majority of cases of CASK gene mutation in humans. CASK is an …

Energy Balance, Immune System Function, and Susceptibility to Mastitis in Dairy Cows
… relationship between energy status and immune system function at the whole animal, protein, and genomic levels, as well as via the utilization of a large-scale epidemiological dataset. Our large-scale study indicated the potential use of circulating non-esterified fatty acids as a predictor of …

Altered Autonomic Nervous System Function in Chickens Divergently Selected for Body Weight
Autonomic nervous system activity is related to body weight regulation. Based on the MONA LISA hypothesis it has been suggested that most obese subjects and animals have low sympathetic nervous system activity. The aim of this study was to investigate whether there are differences in autonomic …

Influence of osteopathic palpatory examination on sympathetic nervous system function: a pilot study
… palpatory examination on sympathetic nervous system function. Fourteen participants (6 male and 8 female volunteers, age range 20-23 years) completed this study. An osteopathic screening examination of the thoracic spine, involving the assessment of the active, passive, active resisted and …

Locus-coeruleus norepinephrine system function in a developmental animal model of schizophrenia: the socially isolated rat
… in socially isolated rats to address attentional function. Neurochemical investigations were performed on projections of the locus coeruleus norepinephrine system, known to be involved in attentional function, as research on this system is surprisingly sparse. The secondary aim of the study was to …

Cardiovascular and Autonomic Nervous System Function: Impact of Glucose Ingestion, Hydration Status and Exercise in Heated Environments
Cardiovascular function is under the influence of autonomic nervous system, both of which can be assessed non-invasively. The purpose of this dissertation was to examine these non-invasive markers of cardiovascular and autonomic function and their relationships with exercise training, glucose …

Gender Differences in Depression and Immune Response in Colorectal Cancer
… between gender and depression and immune system function in patients with colorectal cancer. The research questions were answered through secondary analysis, using data obtained from the answers of 117 men and women (71 men and 46 women) enrolled in a colorectal cancer study conducted …

Sensitivity analysis of digital filter structures
… the L₂ norm of all first order partials of the system function with respect to the system parameters; alternatively, the measure may be viewed as the output variance of the error system created by the inherent parameter quantization. Since the measure uses only the first order partials, it is a …

Investigating the role of growth hormone receptor in oesophageal squamous-cell carcinoma.
… axis is important for proper cellular and organ system function. The axis has been shown to play a role in a number of cancers.

Image Registration and Gantry Tracking System of Clytia hemisphaerica
Understanding nervous system function and evolution requires detailed behavioral analysis of model organisms such as the jellyfish Clytia hemisphaerica. However, its size and rapid, free-swimming nature pose significant tracking challenges. This work presents a platform for the XY gantry system …

Telephone Voice Alert: system planning and design
… synthesizer, speaker, and power supply subsystems. These all interact together to produce a voice signal whenever a ring signal is detected. By beginning from the system function and analyzing the components as we break the system into subsystems, we find that the trade-off between system …

Association Between Fluoride Exposure and Immune System Biomarkers in Pregnancy
… exposure is associated with maternal immune system function in a Canadian pregnancy cohort. Methods: Urinary fluoride concentrations were measured in each trimester, dilution-adjusted, and averaged across pregnancy. Drinking water fluoride concentrations (WFC) were collected from water …

QT variability calculation using a template matching algorithm and power spectral analysis
… a useful tool in investigating autonomic nervous system function. Traditionally, the R to R interval has been the thrust of research conducted in this field. QT variability is another topic on which little research has been done. This thesis uses an algorithm proposed by Dr. Berger, published in …

Design, synthesis, and evaluation of release kinetics of novel LFA-1 and TLR-4 inhibitor prodrugs for localized immunomodulation.
… responses of the innate and adaptive immune systems. Traditionally, systemic immunosuppression has been used to mitigate these immune responses against the graft, however this can lead to systemic toxicity and leave the recipient vulnerable to opportunistic infections. Localized …
