Visuospatial bootstrapping refers to the well-replicated phenomena in which serial recall in a purely verbal task is boosted by presenting digits within the familiar spatial layout of a typical telephone keypad. The visuospatial bootstrapping phenomena indicates that additional support comes from long-term knowledge of a fixed spatial pattern, and prior experimentation supports the idea that access to this benefit depends on the availability of the visuospatial motor system. We investigate this by tracking participants' eye movements during encoding and retention of verbal lists to learn whether gaze patterns support verbal memory differently when verbal information is presented in the familiar visual layout.

We present the SSIPTools suite of programs. SSIPTools is a collection of software modules enabling the use of the Surface Site Interaction Point (SSIP) molecular descriptors, used for the modeling of noncovalent interactions in neutral organic molecules. It contains an implementation of the workflow for the generation of the SSIP descriptors, as well as the Functional Group Interaction Profiles (FGIPs) and Solvent Similarity Indexes (SSIs) applications, based on the SSIMPLE (Surface Site Interaction model for the Properties of Liquids at Equilibria) approach.

: To describe the incidence of ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and spondyloarthritis (SpA) in the Danish population in 2000-2013, at national and regional level, and to investigate any trends in incidence over time.: From the Danish National Patient Registry (NPR), we identified patients diagnosed with AS (International Classification of Diseases, 10th revision: M45) or SpA (M46) from 1 January 2000 to 31 December 2013. Patients without a relevant contact in NPR at 12-24 months after initial diagnosis were excluded.

After intradermal inoculation of the attenuated pseudorabies virus (PRV) strains, Bartha, MK35 (gI+) and MK35-T-2 (gI-) to rabbits, they caused local inflammatory nodules with oedema reddiness and necrosis. The specifity of these reactions was confirmed by their inhibition with anti-PRV serum. The minimal dose that caused visible skin reaction was about 10(2) TCID50/ml for Bartha and MK35-T-2 (gI-) strains and over 10(4) TCID50/ml for the MK35 (gI+) strain.
