Transmitter and ion channel profiles of saccadic omnipause neurons and cholinergic non-omnipause neurons in human nucleus raphe interpositus [PDF]
Frontiers in NeuroanatomyBackgroundOmnipause neurons (OPN) are glycinergic neurons that tonically inhibit burst neurons between saccades. In primates, OPNs are located bilaterally around the midline at the level of the traversing rootlets of the abducens nerve in the pontine ...

Vertical Distribution of Rip Currents Generated by Intersecting Waves in a Sandbar–Groin Systems
Journal of Marine Science and EngineeringTo analyze the impacts of groins, sandbars, and channels on the three-dimensional features of rip currents, we conducted experimental investigations on the vertical distribution of rip currents under intersecting waves along barred beaches with channels.

Beachgoers' ability to identify rip currents at a beach in situ [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2021 Rip currents (“rips”) are the leading cause of drowning on surf beaches worldwide. A major contributing factor is that many beachgoers are unable to identify rip currents. Previous research has attempted to quantify beachgoers' rip identification ability

Flow Characteristics of the Rip Current System near a Shore-Normal Structure with Regular Waves
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023 Rip currents are the strong narrow seaward current produced by waves breaking on the coast. Of the many types of rip currents, the present study investigates, experimentally and numerically, the rip current system produced by the wave reflection on a ...

How to Shut Down Transcription in Archaea during Virus Infection
Microorganisms, 2022 Multisubunit RNA polymerases (RNAPs) carry out transcription in all domains of life; during virus infection, RNAPs are targeted by transcription factors encoded by either the cell or the virus, resulting in the global repression of transcription with ...

Sodium channel β1 subunits participate in regulated intramembrane proteolysis-excitation coupling
JCI Insight, 2021 Loss-of-function (LOF) variants in SCN1B, encoding voltage-gated sodium channel β1 subunits, are linked to human diseases with high risk of sudden death, including developmental and epileptic encephalopathy and cardiac arrhythmia.

Environmental controls on surf zone injuries on high-energy beaches [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2019 The two primary causes of surf zone injuries (SZIs) worldwide, including fatal drowning and severe spinal injuries, are rip currents (rips) and shore-break waves. SZIs also result from surfing and bodyboarding activity.
