P21-activated kinase 3 (PAK3) gene mutations are linked to several neurodevelopmental disorders, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear.In this study, we used a tetracycline-inducible system to control the expression of a mutant PAK3 (mPAK3) protein in immediate early gene, namely cFos, positive cells to disrupt PAK signaling, specifically in
Spheno-orbital meningiomas: surgical techniques and results
Abstract Introduction Spheno-orbital meningiomas are characterized by bone invasion with extensive hyperostosis and possible encroachment into the orbit, infra-temporal fossa, and/or the cavernous sinus that render total surgical excision challenging.The surgical technique utilized is a key factor facilitating complete resection and hence improveme
Dynamic Travel Time Prediction Models for Buses Using Only GPS Data
Providing real-time and accurate travel time information of transit vehicles can be very helpful as it assists passengers in planning their trips to minimize waiting times.The purpose of this research is to develop and compare dynamic travel time prediction models which can provide accurate prediction of bus travel time in order to give real-time i
Long-term stocking practices threaten the original genetic diversity of the southernmost European populations of Atlantic salmon Salmo salar
Many Atlantic salmon Salmo salar populations in Europe are threatened by previous stocking with foreign hatchery strains.Temporal patterns of genetic characteristics of salmon from northern Spain, the southernmost European populations, Luminous Affection Couple Ring were compared before and after species decline and heavy stocking with specimens fr
