Low-dose clozapine but not haloperidol attenuates ketamine-induced deficits under an incremental repeated acquisition procedure
(2014-08-07)
Ketamine, like other N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonists, causes both locomotor and cognitive dysfunction, decrements that may be mediated by distinct neurotransmitter systems. The present study was designed ...
A Low-Effort Animated Data Structure Visualization Creation System
(2014-07-09)
Algorithm animations and high level data structure visualizations are not widely used, in part because producing them is difficult and time consuming. Algorithm animation and data structure visualization systems attempt ...
A Low-Power Analog Bus for On-Chip Digital Communication
(2013-07-10)
At present, performance and efficiency of a system-on-chip (SoC) design depends significantly on the on-chip global communication across various modules on the chip. On-chip communication is mostly implemented using a bus ...
Low-Power, High-Performance Frequency Dividers for a Phase-Locked Loop
(2020-03-16)
The world embraces the dawn of 5G implementation, and there is much work to be done. Companies, researchers, engineers, and many more posterities of people are pressing into high-frequency ranges, which presents a plethora ...
Low-Slip Force Friction Connections for Early Phase Energy Dissipation in Steel Structures
(2015-11-10)
Previous research suggests adding early phase energy dissipation to structural steel systems can improve seismic performance. This can be achieved with a Low-slip Force Friction (LSFF) damper designed to activate prior to ...
Lower Bounds for Betti Numbers in Vietoris–Rips Complexes of Hypercubes
(2024-04-29)
This thesis serves as a comprehensive introduction and elucidation of Henry Adams and Žiga Virk's seminal work \cite{Lower bounds} on new lower bounds on the Betti numbers for Vietoris–Rips complexes of hypercube graphs ...
Lower Extremity Biomechanics and Cognition: Implications for Noncontact Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injuries and Relevant, Practical Applications
(2022-07-27)
Cognition, like reaction time, visual processing, and decision-making, is associated with neuromuscular control and noncontact injuries, including noncontact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries. The persistent high ...

(2016-07-29)
According to eMarketer (2015), approximately 60% of travel product purchases are made online, a figure that will continue to increase due to the widespread use of smartphones and the booming of mobile device booking. To ...
The Lure of Non-credit Studio Art Classes for Adult Learners
(2012-06-18)
The purpose of this study was to examine the motivation and satisfaction of adult learners who participated in non-credit studio art classes. Leisure motivation has been researched by educators, philosophers, psychologists, ...
Lying in Psychotherapy: Results of an Exploratory Study
(2006-12-15)
Although the topic of lying in psychotherapy has been addressed in philosophical and theoretical discussion, it has received scant attention in research endeavors. In order to gather data on lying in psychotherapy, the ...
Lysophosphatidic Acid Induces Tau Hyperphosphorylation by Dysregulation of Kinase and Phosphatases
(2022-12-08)
The increased incidence of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) indicates an unmet medical need to develop novel molecular targets for therapeutic potential. Alzheimer’s disease is primarily classified into early-onset (genetic) and ...
