The amplitudes of BOLD and CBF percent signal changes, both during rest and task, were calculated as root mean square values by computing the standard deviation across the length of the time courses. Note that for the task-related BOLD and CBF signals, only the last 3 cycles were used in this calculation. As CBF signal […]

Two additional measures of connectivity within hemispheres were calculated as well
Obrig et al. used near infrared spectroscopy to show that hypercapnia also attenuates spontaneous fluctuations in cerebral oxygenation in awake humans. In general, the prior studies suggest that vasodilation reduces the amplitude of spontaneous fluctuations, while vasoconstriction tends to increase fluctuations.Similar to task-related studies, the results of these resting-state studies suggest that the strength of […]
Anderson et al. were the first to estimate the effects of medical marijuana enactment on traffic fatalities
Table E.1 compares estimates of the effects of growth in the legal market on past month use restricting the sample to only include Montana and its bordering states in Panel A, to the estimates using the entire sample of states in Panel B. If there are substantial supply spillovers from MML states with large markets […]
The most widely used data on marijuana prices comes from two data sources
By reducing the perceived risk of federal prosecution for legal producers in compliance with state law, the Ogden Memo should have increased benefits to patients by increasing medical marijuana availability. The Cole Memo should have had the opposite effect. If supply-side factors are an important determinant of the relative value of medical marijuana participation, To […]
Relevant methods have been discussed in diverse prior work
Tobacco policies at the state, county, and city jurisdiction levels had similar degrees and patterns of co-occurrence among policies. For example, comprehensive clean-air laws for bars and comprehensive clean-air laws for restaurants frequently co-occurred at the state, county, and city levels . Most policy measures were positively correlated, but we also found pockets of negative […]
The CMU is designed as a multiplying delay locked loop producing a 6GHz clock
The repeater last stage exhibits large gain at the transition period that amplifies the stage internal noise sources as well as preceding stages noise. When transition completes, the gain drops and output noise also drops drastically. Thus the average noise is low compared to transition noise. Jitter at the output of the repeater is thus […]
Future research is strongly encouraged to add more data points
We audited the locations and point-of-sale marketing activities of RMDs in school neighborhoods and merged auditing data with school survey data on a large sample of adolescents in California. We paid particular attention to child-appealing marketing activities, which were presumably more influential to adolescents than general marketing activities. Instead of aggregating data at zip code […]
Two undergraduate engineering students were recruited initially to begin the design process
The process of designing, building, and validating a cell stretching platform and using this device to study the effect of mechanical stimulation on different cell types requires the development of several skills, which formed the basis of the learning outcomes required for the successful completion of the project. Through participating in this project, undergraduate students […]
The liberalization of marijuana laws has been a worldwide momentum in recent years
What was an illegal behavior not so long ago, became a legal behavior for some approximately twenty-two years ago, and is now a legal behavior for all in some states and countries. With that said, although for some individuals marijuana use may be purely medical or purely recreational, for many, medical and recreational use of […]
A handful of pickers return to their respective farm each year
In particular, I observe the weigh-in time, the berry picker’s unique employee identifier, the field where the berries were picked, and the weight of the picker’s harvest. I divide the harvest’s weight by the time elapsed since the picker’s previous weigh-in to obtain a weight-per-hour measure of worker productivity. For the first weigh-in of the […]
