FRICTION AND SHEAR STRENGTH AT THE NANOWIRE–SUBSTRATE INTERFACES


Appetitively motivated tasks in the IntelliCage reveal a higher motivational cost of spatial learning in male than female mice

The IntelliCage (IC) permits the assessment of the behavior and learning abilities of mice in a social home cage context.To overcome water deprivation as an aversive driver of learning, we developed protocols in which spatial learning is motivated appetitively by the preference of mice for sweetened over plain water.While plain water is available a

Expanding the UniFrac Toolbox.

The UniFrac distance metric is often 2 Piece Package used to separate groups in microbiome analysis, but requires a constant sequencing depth to work properly.Here we demonstrate that unweighted UniFrac is highly sensitive to rarefaction instance and to sequencing depth in uniform data sets with no clear structure or separation between groups.We sh
