Norepinephrine in vertebrates and its invertebrate analog, octopamine, regulate the activity of neural circuits. We find that, when hungry, larvae switch activity in type II octopaminergic motor neurons (MNs) to high-frequency bursts, which coincide with locomotion-driving bursts in type I glutamatergic MNs that converge on the same muscles. Optical quantal analysis across hundreds of synapses simultaneously reveals that octopamine potentiates glutamate release by tonic type Ib MNs, but not phasic type Is MNs, and occurs via the G-coupled octopamine receptor (OAMB).

Objective: To determine the direct and indirect effects of sexual assault on sleep health in varsity athletes.
Participants: Varsity athletes ( = 2,910) who completed the Fall 2019 or 2020 administrations of the American College Health Association's National College Health Assessment III.
Methods: We combined exploratory factor analysis and structural equation modeling to evaluate relationships between four predictor variables: and and two response variables: and
Results: Overall, 9.

Xylosandrus crassiusculus Motschulsky and Xylosandrus germanus Blandford are serious ambrosia beetle pests in ornamental nurseries. Three ethanol baits, AgBio low release (LR), AgBio high release (HR), and Trécé are commercially available for use in bottle traps to determine flight activity of adult Xylosandrus spp. However, release patterns of ethanol from these baits under varying temperatures and captures of Xylosandrus spp.

Purpose: To evaluate the risk factors that may delay enhanced recovery in the ablation of liver tumors.
Methods: A total of 310 patients who underwent ultrasound-guided ablation of liver tumors under general anesthesia were prospectively enrolled. Baseline data, intraoperative parameters, and postoperative events were evaluated.

Spontaneous bubble growths in liquids are usually triggered by rapid changes in pressure or temperature that can lead to liquid gas supersaturation. Here, we report alternative scenarios of the spontaneous growths of bubbles inside a high-saturation-vapor-pressure and high-air-solubility perfluorocarbon liquid (PP1) that were observed under ambient quiescent conditions. First, we investigate spontaneous bubble growth inside the single PP1 phase, which was left to evaporate freely.
