Summary: Sensitivity of primate daylight vision varies across the visual field.This is attributed to regional variations in cone photoreceptor density and synaptic connectivity of the underlying circuitry.In contrast, we have limited understanding of how synapse organization of the primate night vision pathway changes across space.Using serial elec
Balanced Learning Design Planning: Concept and Tool
We present a comprehensive learning design (LD) concept and tool, motivated by the needs identified by higher education (HE) practitioners.The concept and tool aim at implementing contemporary research findings and theory to support balanced LD 2 Piece Modular Sectional planning (BDP).The student-centered BDP concept and tool provide innovation to
Cell aging preserves cellular immortality in the presence of lethal levels of damage.
Cellular aging, a progressive functional decline driven by damage accumulation, often culminates in the mortality of a cell lineage.Certain lineages, however, are able to sustain long-lasting immortality, as prominently exemplified by stem cells.Here, we show that Escherichia coli cell Door Hinge Bush lineages exhibit comparable patterns of mortali
The Relationship among Body Mass Index, Physical Activity, Dynamic Balance, and Sleep Patterns
According to the World Health Organization in 2010, overweight and obesity are the fifth risk factors of the cause of death in the world.Obesity is influenced by the level of physical activity and it could cause a disturbance in dynamic balance and induce sleep disorder known as sleep apnea.Meanwhile, the lack of physical activity also affects the
