All Phase Resetting Curves Are Bimodal, but Some Are More Bimodal Than Others2013 •
Phase resetting curves (PRCs) are phenomenological and quantitative tools that tabulate the transient changes in the firing period of endogenous neural oscillators as a result of external stimuli, for example, presynaptic inputs. A brief current perturbation can produce either a delay (positive phase resetting) or an advance (negative phase resetting) of the subsequent spike, depending on the timing of the stimulus. We showed that any planar neural oscillator has two remarkable points, which we called neutral points, where brief current perturbations produce no phase resetting and where the PRC flips its sign. Since there are only two neutral points, all PRCs of planar neural oscillators are bimodal. The degree of bimodality of a PRC, that is, the ratio between the amplitudes of the delay and advance lobes of a PRC, can be smoothly adjusted when the bifurcation scenario leading to stable oscillatory behavior combines a saddle node of invariant circle (SNIC) and an Andronov-Hopf bifu...

Silver nanoparticles possess broad spectrum antimicrobial properties with evident applicability in biomedical and industrial endeavors. They can be fabricated and modified appropriately in the desirable manner to utilize at their maximum potential. The most noticeable nanoparticle for medical intervention are silver nanoparticles which are renowned for their high antimicrobial activity. Silver ion has been acknowledged as a metal ion that demonstrate anti-mold and anti-algal properties for long time. In the present review, we report antimicrobial properties of silver nanoparticles characterized by several biophysical techniques and their mechanism through generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS).

Analisis Pengaruh Tenaga Kerja, Tingkat Pendidikan Dan Pengeluaran Pemerintah Terhadap Pertumbuhan Ekonomi DI Kota Makassar Tahun 2004-2013This study aims to determine and analyze how much influence the amount of labor, education and government spending on economic growth in the city of Makassar. The hypothesis is that the amount of labor, education level and government spending have a positive and significant impact on economic growth in Makassar. The type of data used in this study is secondary data. The data is then processed using a computer program that is SPSS 16 with multiple linear regression analysis method. The results showed that the number of labor force, education level and government expenditure had a positive effect on the economic growth in Makassar City, the regression result between dependent variable and independent variable was R-Square = 0,979 and F statistic = 93,880 so that together variable of labor force, and government expenditure has a positive effect on economic growth in Makassar City

Collecting Duct Intercalated Cell Function and Regulation2015 •
Intercalated cells are kidney tubule epithelial cells with important roles in the regulation of acid-base homeostasis. However, in recent years the understanding of the function of the intercalated cell has become greatly enhanced and has shaped a new model for how the distal segments of the kidney tubule integrate salt and water reabsorption, potassium homeostasis, and acid-base status. These cells appear in the late distal convoluted tubule or in the connecting segment, depending on the species. They are most abundant in the collecting duct, where they can be detected all the way from the cortex to the initial part of the inner medulla. Intercalated cells are interspersed among the more numerous segment-specific principal cells. There are three types of intercalated cells, each having distinct structures and expressing different ensembles of transport proteins that translate into very different functions in the processing of the urine. This review includes recent findings on how i...

Introduction Eurycoma longifolia Jack (Simaroubaceace), identified by its local name as Tongkat Ali is commonly found along the hilly jungle slopes of Malaysia. Pharmacological evaluations on this plant showed that it possessed antimalarial (Chan et al., 1986, 1989; Kardono et al., 1991; Ang et al., 1995), cytotoxic (Kardono et al., 1991; Morita et al., 1990, 1993; Itokawa et al., 1991), antiulcer (Tada et al., 1991) and antipyretic (Chan et al., 1995) properties. However, in Malaysia, it has gained notoriety as a male aphrodisiac since it is reputed to increase male prowess (Gimlette and Thompson 1977) and it is usually taken as a water decoction of roots. However, this is largely based on subjective rather than scientific verification. In vivo physiological studies employing sexually naive male rats treated with this extract exhibit increased sexual motivation; pendiculation, stimulated erectogenic effects and copulatory behaviour and improved sperm quality. However, the biochemic...
