Pressure-dependent kinetic analysis of the NH potential energy surface.

The pressure-dependent reactions on the NH potential energy surface (PES) have been investigated using CCSD(T)-F12/aug-cc-pVTZ-F12//B2PLYP-D3/aug-cc-pVTZ. This study expands the NH PES beyond the previous literature by incorporating a newly identified isomer, NHN, along with additional bimolecular reaction channels associated with this isomer, namely NNH + H and HNN(S) + H. Rate coefficients for all relevant pressure-dependent reactions, including well-skipping pathways, are predicted using a combination of transition state theory and master equation simulations.

A Cortical Site that Encodes Vocal Expression and Reception.

Socially effective vocal communication requires brain regions that encode expressive and receptive aspects of vocal communication in a social context-dependent manner. Here, we combined a novel behavioral assay with microendoscopy to interrogate neuronal activity in the posterior insula (pIns) in socially interacting mice as they switched rapidly between states of vocal expression and reception. We found that distinct but spatially intermingled subsets of pIns neurons were active during vocal expression and reception.

The reliability and minimal detectable change of common tests and measures for temporomandibular disorders.

Background: Temporomandibular disorders are a source of orofacial pain. Understanding clinimetric properties of evaluation procedures is necessary for assessing impairments and determining response to interventions.

Purpose: Reliability, minimal detectable change (MDC), and 95% limits of agreement of TMJ examination procedures were investigated.

Sleep insufficiency and bedtime irregularity in children with ADHD: A population-based analysis.

Background: Sleep is impaired in children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). However, population-based examination of indicators of sleep insufficiency and bedtime irregularity is limited. This investigation examined associations between ADHD, weeknight sleep insufficiency, and bedtime irregularity in a nationally-representative child sample, and indicators of these sleep outcomes in ADHD.

Exploring the role of casein kinase 1α splice variants across cancer cell lines.

Casein kinase 1α (CK1α) is a serine/threonine protein kinase that acts in various cellular processes affecting cell division and signal transduction. CK1α is present as multiple splice variants that are distinguished by the presence or absence of a long insert (L-insert) and a short carboxyl-terminal insert (S-insert). When overexpressed, zebrafish CK1α splice variants exhibit different biological properties, such as subcellular localization and catalytic activity.
