The pattern of frontal activation as measured by the ongoing electroencephalogram (EEG) may be a marker for individual differences in infant and adult disposition to respond with either positive or negative affect. We studied 48 4-year-old children who were first observed same-sex quartets during free-play sessions, while making speeches, ticket-sorting task. Social interactive behaviors coded from these sessions. Each child was subsequently seen 2 weeks later when EEG recorded attended...
Recent availability of intravenous soy bean oil emulsion for clinical trials in the United States prompted infusion diets containing a constant nitrogen level (11.7 grams/m2/day) and 13 different combinations carbohydrate (110-2300 kcal/m2/day) fat (0-1100 during 34 three-day studies 5 patients who were clinically stable after injury or operation. Urea excretion was inversely related to intake (P less than 0.01) directly resting metabolic rate 0.01). Fat did not affect at any intake. This...
133Xenon lung scanning post-thermal injury was used to detect inhalation in 86 patients admitted the United States Army Institute of Surgical Research during 1974. Inhalation indicated by 37 (43%) positive scans. Based on all available clinicopathologic evidence, 11 (13%) scans were erroneous with seven (8%) falsely and four (5%) negative. Eighty-six per cent "appropriate." Addition bronchoscopy and/or pulmonary function testing appeared improve diagnostic accuracy. By using any pair tests,...
Prepulse inhibition (PPI) may useful for exploring the proposed shared neurobiology between idiopathic autism and caused by FXS. We compared PPI in four groups: typically developing controls (n = 18), FXS (FXS+A; n 15), without spectrum disorder (FXS-A; 17), (IA; 15). Relative to controls, FXS+A (p < 0.002) FXS-A 0.003) groups had impaired PPI. The 0.01) 0.03) lower than IA group. Prolonged startle latency was seen differing profiles indicates these not share a common neurobiological...
Abstract Black bass Micropterus spp. are quintessential North American sportfishes that support economically valuable fisheries and act as keystone predators within aquatic ecosystems. Despite their prominence among fish fauna, a number of taxonomic designations unresolved novel forms continue to be identified drainages the southeastern USA. We review current understanding black diversity, including distributions, evolutionary histories, phylogenetic relationships. also provide brief...
Abstract Pharmacological rescue of behavioral, cognitive and synaptic abnormalities in the animal models fragile X syndrome (FXS) has prompted initiation clinical trials targeted treatments humans with this condition. Objective, well‐validated outcome measures that are reflective FXS deficits can be modeled similarly human studies urgently needed. A protocol measuring prepulse inhibition (PPI) startle reflex, including test–retest stability, was evaluated 61 individuals full mutation (40...
Summary TA cloning methods are widely used in analyses of environmental microbial diversity, yet the potential to yield phylogenetically biased results has received little attention. To test for a bias, we constructed clone libraries fungal amplicons spanning ribosomal internally transcribed spacer (ITS) and partial large subunit (LSU) from 92 boreal forest soil DNA extracts using two contrasting methods: Invitrogen TOPO‐TA system Lucigen PCR‐SMART system. The utilizes blunt‐ended rather...
Impoundment construction has resulted in the alternation and loss of fluvial habitats, threatening persistence many native fishes. Compounding this threat, non-native species stocked into impoundments often invade interconnected where they may negatively affect species. Black basses (genus Micropteru s) are popular sportfishes with divergent ecologies: some taxa tolerant widely to create fishing opportunities, whereas others endemic specialists that threatened by introgression congeneric...
AbstractLargemouth Bass (Micropterus salmoides, LMB) and Smallmouth dolomieu, SMB) are among the most highly invasive species across globe, but simultaneously sought-after game fish. To explain these disparate views, data on status angling participation of two were compiled at country level. Largemouth found established in 62 countries five continents, whereas SMB only nine same continents. Invasive risk assessments between species, with more for (N = 29) than LMB 27). In every instance save...
Abstract Fluvial fishes face increased imperilment from anthropogenic activities, but the specific factors contributing most to range declines are often poorly understood. For example, of fluvial‐specialist shoal bass ( Micropterus cataractae ) continues decrease, yet how perceived threats have contributed loss is largely unknown. We used species distribution models determine which loss. estimated a potential based on natural abiotic and series currently occupied distributions that...
Abstract With an increased interest in nongame fishes such as buffalofishes (Catostomidae, Ictiobus ), there is a need for better foundational data on their life history. Bigmouth Buffalo I. cyprinellus , example, have been found to live more than century. Age estimates other sucker species similarly suggested long spans, but validation studies reference points are often lacking. We conducted 3‐year study Smallmouth bubalus Oklahoma validate annual increments three hard part structures...
We compared the precision and bias of age estimates derived from scales, whole otoliths, sectioned otoliths by readers varying experience level for largemouth bass Micropterus salmoides, smallmouth M. dolomieu, spotted punctulatus Skiatook Lake, Oklahoma. Precision was assessed with coefficient variation each fish. Bias determined among structures graphs least squares regression. similar species all three any species, except bass; its were more precise otoliths. between pairs found scales...
Abstract Previously published studies of the age estimation channel catfish Ictalurus punctatus based on otoliths have reported using sagittae, whereas it is likely they were actually lapilli. This confusion may resulted because in catfishes (ostariophyseans) lapilli are largest three otoliths, nonostariophysean fish sagittae largest. Based (1) scanning electron microscope microphotographs (2) X‐ray computed tomography scans a head, (3) descriptions techniques used to removed from...
