Recent studies suggest that calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) neurons in the parabrachial nucleus (PBN) represent aversive information and signal a general alarm to the forebrain.If CGRP neurons serve as a true general alarm, their activation would modulate both passive and active defensive behaviors depending on the magnitude and context of t
Background: From qualitative studies with survivors of sexual violence, it is known that two important risk factors for sexual violence are unequal power relations and strong hierarchies; the concept of an empowering climate works against these risk factors and might thus serve as a factor in preventing experiences of sexual violence among athletes
Real-world topological semimetals typically exhibit Dirac and Weyl nodes that coexist with trivial Fermi pockets.This tends to mask the physics of atmas wail the relativistic quasiparticles.Using the example of ZrTe$_5$, we show that strain provides a powerful tool for in-situ tuning of the band structure such that all trivial pockets are pushed fa
This article describes a tradition of Anglophone North American higher education (HE) research concerning the role of writing in learning and development.The research tradition is associated with a forty-year-old education reform movement called Writing Across the Curriculum (WAC) or Writing in the Disciplines (WID).The movement encourages teachers
Stone columns (or granular piles, GPs) are progressively being utilized for ground improvement, mostly for pliant edifice such as road mounds, oil depot, and so forth.The present analysis is done by introducing strengthening at both the ends of GP, i.e., bottom and top end so that the bulging problem will be solved and the beneficiary effect of the
