Adaptation is the attenuation of a neuronal response when a stimulus is repeatedly presented. The phenomenon has been linked to sensory memory, but its exact neuronal mechanisms are under debate. One defining feature of adaptation is its lifetime, that is, the timespan over which the attenuating effect of previous stimulation persists.

Approximately 75% of myxomas occur within the left atrium, increasing the risk of systemic thromboembolic events. While typically benign, atrial myxomas can rarely metastasize to the brain, with fewer than 60 cases reported.

However, available GWAS and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) datasets are heavily skewed towards taurine breeds, which restricts their utility for genomic research in indicine cattle breeds. This study conducts a GWAS on the Badri breed of Indicine cattle to estimate variance components and identify significant variants associated with milk composition traits, utilizing double digest restriction-site associated DNA (ddRAD) sequencing data.

The D-mode characteristic results in a high off-current (I) at zero gate bias, which limits the usage of MoS FETs for industry-scale (n-channel metal-oxide semiconductor) NMOS/(complementary metal-oxide semiconductor) CMOS-logic-based applications due to significant power dissipation. Both these issues, i.
