Modelling large motion events in fMRI studies of patients with epilepsy [PDF]

, 2007
EEG-correlated fMRI can provide localisation information on the generators of epileptiform discharges in patients with focal epilepsy. To increase the technique's clinical potential, it is important to consider ways of optimising the yield of each ...

From junk to function — How weak selection in eukaryotes builds new parts and drives genomic complexity

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
How do genomes gain new functional parts? In eukaryotes, which tend to evolve under weak selection, much of the genome is junk. Palazzo and Qiu borrow the logic of Markov chains to show how non‐functional DNA becomes functional through the appearance of intermediate states, which arise due to epistasis, buffering, and biochemical messiness, allowing ...

Prospecting the protein design landscape

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This review outlines the current state of various protein design approaches. We discuss the current possibilities enabled by recently released tools, highlight future avenues to pursue in protein design, and underscore the crucial role of key databases and resources for successful protein design workflows.

Heritage speakers and contact-induced language change

Isogloss
This study investigates the role of heritage language (HL) speakers in language change, focusing on how they frame motion events compared to native monolingual homeland speakers. Language contact, particularly in HL contexts, is considered a significant

Motion in event structure

Acta Linguistica Hafniensia
According to a localist theory of event semantics, event types such as state changes and realisation of actions are based on motion events, which are taken to be the primary type of event. The present paper investigates some claims of this theory, their consequences and conceptual foundations. It argues that the theory suffers from two flaws.

THE IMPERFECTIVE PARADOX and trajectory-of-motion events [PDF]

Proceedings of the 31st annual meeting on Association for Computational Linguistics -, 1993
In the first part of the paper, I present a new treatment of THE IMPERFECTIVE PARADOX (Dowty 1979) for the restricted case of trajectory-of-motion events. This treatment extends and refines those of Moens and Steedman (1988) and Jackendoff (1991). In the second part, I describe an implemented algorithm based on this treatment which determines whether a

Event-related alpha suppression in response to facial motion [PDF]

, 2014
This article has been made available through the Brunel Open Access Publishing Fund.While biological motion refers to both face and body movements, little is known about the visual perception of facial motion. We therefore examined alpha wave suppression

Artificial molecular machines and motors—Design and control of nanoscale motion

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Molecules are constantly moving because of thermal fluctuations, but random motion alone cannot be exploited to perform directional tasks. Artificial molecular machines use chemical, electrical, or light energy to bias this motion. Molecular shuttles, rotary motors, and supramolecular pumps illustrate how nanoscale movement can be controlled and ...

Point-light biological motion perception activates human premotor cortex [PDF]

, 2004
Motion cues can be surprisingly powerful in defining objects and events. Specifically, a handful of point-lights attached to the joints of a human actor will evoke a vivid percept of action when the body is in motion.

The heterodimeric amino acid transporters (HAT) of the SLC7/SLC3 family: A structure−function relationships and relevance to human pathology

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Heterodimeric amino acid transporters consist of SLC7 and SLC3 family proteins arranged in a conserved structural organization. They regulate nutrient transport across cell membranes, supporting essential cellular functions. These transporters also contribute to xenobiotic/drug uptake and distribution.
