Seasonal Changes in Plankton Food Web Structure and Carbon Dioxide Flux from Southern California Reservoirs
Reservoirs around the world contribute to cycling of carbon dioxide (CO2) with the atmosphere, but there is little information on how ecosystem processes determine the absorption or emission of CO2. Reservoirs are the most prevalent freshwater systems in the arid southwest of North America, yet it…

Association of host proteins with the broad host range filamentous phage NgoΦ6 of Neisseria gonorrhoeae
All Neisseria gonorrhoeae strains contain multiple copies of integrated filamentous phage genomes with undefined structures. In this study, we sought to characterize the capsid proteins of filamentous N. gonorrhoeae bacteriophage NgoΦ6 and phagemids propagated in different bacteria. The data…

Nocebo hyperalgesia can be induced by classical conditioning without involvement of expectancy
Influential theoretical accounts take the position that classical conditioning can induce placebo effects through conscious expectancies. In the current study two different conditioning procedures (hidden and open) were used to separate expectancy from conditioning in order to reveal the role of…

Pain rewarded: hyperalgesic and allodynic effect of operant conditioning in healthy humans—protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis
Abstract Background ‘Pain rewarded’ is a hypothesis wherein acute pain sufferers are exposed to reinforcers and punishers from their environment that shape their behaviour, i.e. pain responses. Such a point of view has been taken for granted by many clinicians and researchers although existing…

Pain inhibition is not affected by exercise-induced pain
Abstract. Introduction:. Offset analgesia (OA) and conditioned pain modulation (CPM) are frequently used paradigms to assess the descending pain modulation system. Recently, it was shown that both paradigms are reduced in chronic pain, but the influence of acute pain has not yet been adequately…

One of us or one of them? The effects of the model’s and observer’s characteristics on placebo analgesia induced by observational learning
Previous studies have proved that observational learning can induce placebo analgesia, but the factors that influence observationally induced placebo analgesia have not yet been extensively examined. The primary goal of this study was to investigate the effect of information about the role that the…

Technology and Electrophysical Properties of the (K0.44Na0.52Li0.04) NbO3 Ceramics Doped by Cr3+, Zn2+, Sb3+ or Fe3+
In the work five ceramic compounds based on the (K0.44Na0.52Li0.04)NbO3 (KNLN) material modified with oxides: Cr2O3, ZnO, Sb2O3 or Fe2O3 (in an amount of 0.5 mol.%) were obtained. The KNLN-type composition powder was prepared by solid phase synthesis from a mixture of simple oxides and carbonates…

Psychological mechanisms of offset analgesia: The effect of expectancy manipulation
A frequently used paradigm to quantify endogenous pain modulation is offset analgesia, which is defined as a disproportionate large reduction in pain following a small decrease in a heat stimulus. The aim of this study was to determine whether suggestion influences the magnitude of offset analgesia…

Correlation Between Structure, Microstructure and Dielectric Properties of Bi7Fe3Ti3O21 Ceramics Obtained in Different Conditions
Multiferroic six-layer Aurivillius type Bi7Fe3Ti3O21 ceramics was obtained by conventional mixed oxides method. The final sintering process was taken in several different sintering times, which determined changes in properties of discussed ceramic material. The structure and dielectric properties…

Effects of stimulation area and temperature rates on offset analgesia
Abstract. Introduction:. Offset analgesia describes the effect of a slightly reduced nociceptive stimulus, resulting in a disproportionate large reduction in the pain perception. This effect may be associated with descending pain inhibition, but parameters influencing this phenomenon are poorly…

Objective Measurement of Subjective Pain Perception with Autonomic Body Reactions in Healthy Subjects and Chronic Back Pain Patients: An Experimental Heat Pain Study
Multiple attempts to quantify pain objectively using single measures of physiological body responses have been performed in the past, but the variability across participants reduces the usefulness of such methods. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate whether combining multiple autonomic…

Comparison of Feature Extraction Methods for Physiological Signals for Heat-Based Pain Recognition
While even the most common definition of pain is under debate, pain assessment has remained the same for decades. But the paramount importance of precise pain management for successful healthcare has encouraged initiatives to improve the way pain is assessed. Recent approaches have proposed…
