The mechanosensitive ion channel TRAAK is localized to the mammalian node of Ranvier. [PDF]
, 2019 TRAAK is a membrane tension-activated K+ channel that has been associated through behavioral studies to mechanical nociception. We used specific monoclonal antibodies in mice to show that TRAAK is localized exclusively to nodes of Ranvier, the action ...

Common pulse retrieval algorithm: a fast and universal method to retrieve ultrashort pulses
, 2018 We present a common pulse retrieval algorithm (COPRA) that can be used for a broad category of ultrashort laser pulse measurement schemes including frequency-resolved optical gating (FROG), interferometric FROG, dispersion scan, time domain ptychography,

Photobleaching through glass micropipettes: sodium channels without lateral mobility in the sarcolemma of frog skeletal muscle. [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1982 Sodium currents were recorded from frog skeletal muscle by using fire-polished micropipettes to electrically isolate and voltage clamp a small patch of sarcolemma. Sodium current amplitude served as an assay for the number of functional sodium channels in the patch. With the pipette as a light guide, these channels were irradiated with ultraviolet (UV)

Archaeometry, EarlyView.ABSTRACT New radiocarbon determinations from rice grains and bamboo have been obtained from Non Ban Jak, Northeast Thailand. These, along with charcoal, date a late Iron Age building sequence. The results come from short‐lived species and charcoal with potential inbuilt age. We built a series of Bayesian models to obtain a reliable chronology.

Rediscovery of Hyalinobatrachium chirripoi (Anura: Centrolenidae) in southeastern Costa Rica
Revista de Biología Tropical, 2004 The Suretka glass frog, Hyalinobatrachium chirripoi, has been recently rediscovered in the south-eastern region of Costa Rica. This species was last reported in Costa Rica in the 1950’s. H. chirripoi is distinguished from H. colymbiphyllum, which appears

Three-Dimensional Light Bullets in Arrays of Waveguides
, 2010 We report the first experimental observation of 3D-LBs, excited by femtosecond pulses in a system featuring quasi-instantaneous cubic nonlinearity and a periodic, transversally-modulated refractive index.

Glass frogs (Centrolenidae) of Yanayacu Biological Station, Ecuador, with the description of a new species and comments on centrolenid systematics [PDF]
Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2006 We describe Centrolene bacatum, C. buckleyi, Cochranella posadae, and a new species of Cochranella from Yanayacu Biological Station on the Amazonian slopes of the Ecuadorian Andes. The new species differs from other species in Centrolenidae by a combination of characters, including reduced webbing between Fingers III and IV, and kidneys covered with ...

Irradiation of Sperm Tails by Laser Microbeam [PDF]
, 1969 1. Sea-urchin and starfish sperm tails were irradiated at pre-selected points along the flagellum and at pre-selected phases of the beat cycle by means of a pulsed ruby laser microbeam. Multiple-exposure dark-field photomicrographs were taken immediately
