Apathy may herald cognitive decline and dementia in Parkinson's disease.
Apathy is usually defined as a lack of motivation. It may occur as part of another disorder (notably depression and dementia) or as an isolated syndrome. In Parkinson's disease (PD), apathy is common and several studies have reported an association between this condition and more severe cognitive symptoms, such as executive dysfunction. However, this association has not been thoroughly investig...
متن کاملThermoelectricity in molecular junctions with harmonic and anharmonic modes
We study charge and energy transfer in two-site molecular electronic junctions in which electron transport is assisted by a vibrational mode. To understand the role of mode harmonicity/anharmonicity in transport behavior, we consider two limiting situations: (i) the mode is assumed harmonic, (ii) we truncate the mode spectrum to include only two levels, to represent an anharmonic mode. Based on...
متن کاملA simple and cheap device for gradient formation.
We describe a simple and low cost nonlinear gradient former. The apparatus is derived from a 20 ml syringe and was used to build up sucrose gradients (1) for the separation of DNA fragments needed for the construction of a cosmid library. The setup is given in Figure 1. The lower chamber underneath the plunger is the mixing chamber containing a given volume of the lower concentrated solution, t...
متن کاملLow-Dimensional Thermoelectricity
Thermoelectric materials are used as solid-state heat pumps and as power generators. The low efficiency of devices based on conventional bulk thermoelectric materials confines their applications to niches in which their advantages in compactness and controllability outweigh that drawback. Recent developments in nanotechnologies have led to the development of thermoelectric nano-materials with d...
متن کاملRobust Dialogue Understanding in HERALD
We tackle the problem of robust dialogue processing from the perspective of language engineering. We propose an agent-oriented architecture that allows us a flexible way of composing robust processors. Our approach is based on Shoham’s Agent Oriented Programming (AOP) paradigm. We will show how the AOP agent model can be enriched with special features and components that allow us to deal with c...
