Large programs of dynamic gene expression, like cell cyles and circadian rhythms, are controlled by a relatively small "core" network of transcription factors and post-translational modifiers, working in concerted mutual regulation.Recent work suggests that system-independent, quantitative features of the dynamics of gene expression can be used to
LGBT nonprofit organizations in Lebanon use social media videos to foreground the rights of sexual minorities in a society that institutionalizes homophobia.Employing content and thematic analysis to study twelve of these videos within the Lebanese sociopolitical context, I examine how the organizations enact the online affordance of visibility to

BACKGROUND:Anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) and striatum are part of the emotional neural circuitry implicated in major depressive disorder (MDD).Music is often used for emotion regulation, and pleasurable music listening activates the dopaminergic system in the brain, including the ACC.The present study uses functional MRI (fMRI) and an emotional n
A method for true random number generation by directly sampling a high frequency chaotic jerk circuit is explored.A method for determination of the maximum Lyapunov exponent, and thus the maximum bit rate for true random number generation, of the hydrangea red sensation jerk system of interest is shown.The system is tested over a wide range of samp
