A Typology of U.S. Emerging Adults' Online and Offline Connectedness with Extended Family.

Emerging adulthood has changed dramatically in the last 30 years, in part due to the widespread adoption of communication technology. Despite studies showing that youth in the United States are communicating with extended family using technology, research on online interactions with non-parental relatives is lacking. Framed by intergenerational solidarity theory, this study identifies subgroups of U.

Short-term overstimulation affects peripheral but not central excitability in an animal model of cochlear implantation.

Upper current limits (C-levels) are sometimes extremely increased over time since this procedure can enhance speech perception. It should be clarified if a larger amount of electrical stimulation is tolerated by the remaining peripheral and central auditory pathway. An animal electrode array was inserted in mechanically deafened guinea pigs.

Spatial heterogeneity of cancer associated protein expression in immunohistochemically stained images as an improved prognostic biomarker.

The identification of new tumor biomarkers for patient stratification before therapy, for monitoring of disease progression, and for characterization of tumor biology plays a crucial role in cancer research. The status of these biomarkers is mostly scored manually by a pathologist and such scores typically, do not consider the spatial heterogeneity of the protein's expression in the tissue. Using advanced image analysis methods, marker expression can be determined quantitatively with high accuracy and reproducibility on a per-cell level.
