Behavioural and Metabolic Characterization of NPR-9 and AIB Signaling Dynamics in Caenorhabditis Elegans
… G-protein coupled neuropeptide receptor NPR-9 and stimulatory glutamate gated cation channel receptor GLR-1 function in anterior interneuron AIB. npr-9 loss-of-function and over-expression mutants display abnormal spontaneous locomotion patterns. Hence, we evaluated npr-9 and AIB-specific …

The Roles of the Neuropeptide Receptor NPR-14 in the Regulation of Sleep Behaviours in Caenorhabditis elegans
… discovered a neuropeptide receptor gene called npr-14 that, when mutated, displays quiescence behaviour. We seek to answer the question: How does npr-14 fit in the DTS or SIS sleep pathways? The role of npr-14 in the sleep circuit was tested using experiments that analyze the behaviour of npr-14 …

Non-product related environmental process and production methods (NPR-PPMs): a view from international trade law and international environmental governance
… governance issues in the use of Environmental NPR-PPMs, particularly those aiming to promote sustainable practices or to protect natural resources. NPR-PPMs have traditionally been thought of as being incompatible with the rules of the World Trade Organization (WTO). However, the issue remains …

The Murrow Tradition: What Was It, and Does It Still Live?
… between CBS during World War II and NPR during the Iraq War II. Triangulating quantitative and qualitative methods (content analysis, historical research, and in-depth interviews), this study proposes a model of quality foreign news to help determine what the Murrow tradition means. …

Expanding the South African Rapid Mortality Surveillance to cover provincial mortality
… one can combine National Population Register (NPR) data and Vital Registration (VR) data to produce reliable estimates of specific indices of mortality at the provincial level. In addition, the same approach as used in 2015 RMS report is applied to registered maternal deaths, neonatal deaths, …

Voices of New Music on National Public Radio: Radio Net, RadioVisions, and Maritime Rites
… new American music and National Public Radio (NPR) during the 1970s and 1980s. NPR directly supported American experimental music, most often billed as "new music," through programming that both consolidated a tradition and extended it by commissioning new works. I address three exemplary …

The Comic Artist’s Tools Suite: Centralized and Intuitive Non-Photorealistic Computer Graphics Renderings
… (CGI) software and Non-Photorealistic Rendering (NPR) techniques, modern comic artists have reaped the benefits of technology-aided workflows by creating 3D CGI environments for their comic backgrounds. However, while several NPR techniques exist, there remains a high barrier to entry for many …

A simulation model for evaluating national patient record networks in South Africa.
… simulation is a feasible approach for evaluating NPR solutions in the developing context. The model can represent different network models, patient types and performance metrics to aid in the evaluation of NPR solutions. Using the current model, more case studies can be investigated for various …

Studies to Improve Estimation of the Electromagnetic Bias in Radar Altimetry
… uses two different nonparametric regression (NPR) techniques to estimate the EM bias. A recent study of satellite data from the TOPEX/Poseidon altimeter supports that the bias is modeled better using NPR regression. A traditional parametric fit is compared to two NPR techniques with GME data. …

Rethinking Nonproliferation: Reforming the IAEA and Deterring NPT Withdrawal
… of the nuclear non-proliferation regime (NPR) is threatened on several fronts. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), charged with monitoring compliance of states‟ nonproliferation obligations, has been incapable of enforcing these commitments or applying sufficient pressure to …

The Neural Circuitry Of Social Behavior In C. elegans
… allele of the neuropeptide y receptor homologue npr-1 promotes social feeding, while a high activity form—which is found in the wild-type N2 strain—promotes solitary behavior1. Expression of a high-activity npr-1 cDNA specifically in the interneuron RMG converted npr-1 loss-of-function mutants …

EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF THE RESPONSE OF FLAMES WITH DIFFERENT DEGREES OF PREMIXEDNESS TO ACOUSTIC OSCILLATIONS
… non-premixed with radial fuel injection (NPR) and axial fuel injection (NPA) flames was investigated and compared. All systems exhibited a nonlinear response to acoustic forcing. The highest response was observed by the NPR flame, followed by the fully premixed and the non-premixed with …

Stylized Hatching for 3D Animation
… extends work in this area by presenting an NPR hatching method that can be applied to 3D animated films to help them feel more hand drawn. In contrast to most other NPR methods, this method preserves the 3D lighting and effects of the film that make it interesting to watch. This process …

The Neural Circuit for Behavioral Responses to Pheromone and Social Behavior in Caenorhabditis Elegans
… with null mutation in the neuropeptide receptor npr-1 have reduced avoidance of ascr#3/C9. I found that this effect is mediated by ADL participation in a gap junction circuit with the "social" hub interneuron RMG. Thus ADL chemical synapses and ADL gap junctions appear to have antagonistic …

Real-Time Stylized Rendering for Large-Scale 3D Scenes
… Stylized, or non-photorealistic rendering (NPR), applications generally sacrifice physical accuracy for artistic or functional visual output. Oftentimes, NPR applications focus on extracting specific features from a 3D environment and highlighting them in a unique manner. One application of …
