If I were President Obama, I'd focus my entire campaign now on an effort to reforge a "grand bargain" with Republicans based on a near-term infrastructure stimulus tied with a Simpson-Bowles long-term fiscal rebalancing.
Up-regulation of CEBPD, encoding a transcription factor of cytokines and other pro-inflammatory response genes, elevated in the brain of Alzheimer's disease patients and itself induced by inflammatory stimuli, ties in with this assumption [ 90].
President Barack Obama's stimulus package tied some energy-conservation money to promises by states to adopt stricter building codes.
Recent work has suggested that Ang-2 could act as a stimulus for Tie-2 signaling and has been proposed to function as an antipermeability factor in "stressed" conditions (35).
Changes in the detection thresholds for sweet stimuli may tie into variations in sex hormone concentrations in women [ 29], but with conflicting effects on sucrose preference [ 30, 31].
A contractor known as CACI International, which has been awarded three contracts worth $1.5 million under the stimulus package, despite ties to abuses at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq.
Green groups are all jumping behind Obama on the idea of tying stimulus to green growth, recognising that this sort of plan is likely to gain approval long before the president and Congress could get a regulatory system in place to cut carbon dioxide emissions.
An important caveat is that sustainability requires tying stimulus efforts to economic reforms that decouple carbon emissions from economic growth.
In our experiments, the stimulus velocity was tied to the stimulus amplitude, and we did not attempt to hold one parameter constant while systematically varying the other, as in some studies (Pinto et al., 2000; Stuttgen et al., 2006).
Moreover, if a pictorial representation for a particular stimulus is indeed tied to the activity of a particular subset of neurons, then a mask image that is substantially different should exert a more disruptive effect than a masking pattern that is identical, because it will likely involve the activity of a different subset of neurons in sensory areas.
