Contributions of Reward Identity and Time Prediction Errors to Pavlovian Learning
… attempt to explain effects such as blocking and unblocking as reflecting a prediction error (PE): Associative strength, and thereby learning, are said to be greater when the unconditioned stimulus (US) received following a cue deviates from one’s expectations. Some models of PE-motivated behavior …

Poly(ethylene glycol)-based open-channel blockers for the acetylcholine receptor : mechanistic and structure-function studies at the single-channel level
… a length-dependent manner. Both the blocking and unblocking rate constants decrease with increasing backbone length. Replacing the TMA moiety with other small quaternary ammonium (QA) groups further enhances the blockade affinity. The ability of a PEG-based blocker to stimulate AChR opening is …

Testbed Implementation for the Development of a New Technology to Treat Obstructive Sleep Apnea
… to improve compliance in OSA patients by unblocking the patient’s respiratory airway using a different method from the current standard of care. The goal of this research was to implement a testbed for this device using system design principles to optimize prototyping and iterations. The …

Paleomagnetism of Late Triassic and Jurassic sediments of the southwestern United States.
… for selecting sites which retain a high unblocking-temperature, characteristic remanent magnetization (ChRM). This criterion was used to define at least three stratigraphically-distinct, antipodal polarity-zones within each member/formation, suggesting the ChRM was acquired soon after …

Direction and intensity of Earth's magnetic field at the Permo-Triassic boundary
… Occasional overprints have maximum unblocking temperatures of 350°C or remanence coercivities less than 20 mT. Reliable palaeointensity estimates were obtained for approx. 50% of the samples. The relatively high success rate can be attributed to the enhanced magnetic and thermal …
