Basketball Shooting as a Model System for Understanding Skill Learning and Motor Variability
(2022-05-12)The motor system has the incredibly ability to learn complex movements which require fine control and coordinated timing of numerous joints and limbs. The study of motor learning and motor control has traditionally studied ... -
Basolateral Junction Proteins Regulate Competition for the Follicle Stem Cell Niche in the Drosophila Ovary
(Public Library of Science, 2014)Epithelial stem cells are routinely lost or damaged during adult life and must therefore be replaced to maintain homeostasis. Recent studies indicate that stem cell replacement occurs through neutral competition in many ... -
BAT Slew Survey (BATSS): Slew Data Analysis for the Swift-BAT Coded Aperture Imaging Telescope
(2013-03-18)The BAT Slew Survey (BATSS) is the first wide-field survey of the hard X-ray sky (15–150 keV) with a slewing coded aperture imaging telescope. Its fine time resolution, high sensitivity and large sky coverage make it ... -
BatchQC: interactive software for evaluating sample and batch effects in genomic data
(Oxford University Press, 2016)Sequencing and microarray samples often are collected or processed in multiple batches or at different times. This often produces technical biases that can lead to incorrect results in the downstream analysis. There are ... -
Bathhouses, Hustlers, and a Sex Club: The Reception of Mikhail Kuzmin's Wings
(University of Texas Press, 2000)The bathhouse, resembling but not identical with the Finnish sauna, was one of the oldest features of Russian life, as common in the cities as in the countryside. In the cities, bathhouses varied from luxurious establishments ... -

BATNAs in Negotiation: Common Errors and Three Kinds of "No"
(2017-01-20)The Best Alternative To a Negotiated Agreement ("BATNA") concept in negotiation has proved to be immensely useful. It is widely accepted that a more attractive BATNA (“walkaway option”) often increases one’s bargaining ... -
Batrachotoxin acts as a stent to hold open homotetrameric prokaryotic voltage-gated sodium channels
(Rockefeller University Press, 2018-12-26)Batrachotoxin (BTX), an alkaloid from skin secretions of dendrobatid frogs, causes paralysis and death by facilitating activation and inhibiting deactivation of eukaryotic voltage-gated sodium (Nav) channels, which underlie ... -
Battery of behavioral tests in mice to study postoperative delirium
(Nature Publishing Group, 2016)Postoperative delirium is associated with increased morbidity, mortality and cost. However, its neuropathogenesis remains largely unknown, partially owing to lack of animal model(s). We therefore set out to employ a battery ... -

Bauschinger effect in thin metal films: Discrete dislocation dynamics study
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2014)The effects of dislocation climb on plastic deformation during loading and unloading are studied using a two-dimensional discrete dislocation dynamics model. Simulations are performed for polycrystalline thin films ... -
Bax and Bak can localize to the endoplasmic reticulum to initiate apoptosis
(Rockefeller University Press, 2003)Bax and Bak play a redundant but essential role in apoptosis initiated by the mitochondrial release of apoptogenic factors. In addition to their presence at the mitochondrial outer membrane, Bax and Bak can also localize ... -
A BAX/BAK and Cyclophilin D-Independent Intrinsic Apoptosis Pathway
(Public Library of Science, 2012)Most intrinsic death signals converge into the activation of pro-apoptotic BCL-2 family members BAX and BAK at the mitochondria, resulting in the release of cytochrome c and apoptosome activation. Chronic endoplasmic ... -

Bayes-LQAS: Classifying the Prevalence of Global Acute Malnutrition
(BioMed Central, 2010)Lot Quality Assurance Sampling (LQAS) applications in health have generally relied on frequentist interpretations for statistical validity. Yet health professionals often seek statements about the probability distribution ... -
Bayesian Adaptive Clinical Trials
(2014-10-22)Bayesian adaptive designs are emerging as popular approach to develop adaptive clinical trials. In this dissertation, I describe the mathematical steps for computing the theoretical optimal adaptive designs in biomarker-integrated ... -
A Bayesian Algorithm for Reconstructing Climate Anomalies in Space and Time. Part 1: Development and Applications to Paleoclimate Reconstruction Problems
(American Meteorological Society, 2010)Reconstructing the spatial pattern of a climate field through time from a dataset of overlapping instrumental and climate proxy time series is a nontrivial statistical problem. The need to transform the proxy observations ...
