Extinction in the Coma of Comet 17P/Holmes [PDF]
, 2012 On 2007 October 29 the outbursting comet 17P/Holmes passed within 0.79 arcsec of a background star. We recorded the event using optical, narrowband photometry and detect a 3% to 4% dip in stellar brightness bracketing the time of closest approach to the ...

Functional Specialization Within the Cat Red Nucleus [PDF]
Journal of Neurophysiology, 2002 Magnocellular (RNm) and parvicellular (RNp) divisions of the cat red nucleus (RN) project to the cervical spinal cord. RNp projects more heavily to upper cervical levels and RNm projects more heavily to lower levels. The cells in RN are active during reaching and grasping, and the differences in termination suggest that the divisions influence ...
