Looking Back: Addendum

Back-propagating action potential: A key contributor in activity-dependent dendritic release of BDNF.

Brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is crucial for the formation of appropriate synaptic connections during development and for learning and memory in adults. Secretion of this neurotrophin is under activity-dependent control. Understanding which patterns of physiological activity regulate BDNF secretion is therefore an important step in the comprehension of its role. We have recently show...

Enterprise E-Learning Success Factors: An Analysis of Practitioners’ Perspective (with a Downturn Addendum)

This study proposes nine success factors for enterprise-wide e-learning. These factors were derived from the literature, interviews with e-learning project leaders, and analysis. Twelve semistructured interviews were conducted and analyzed in order to find out the best success factors to implement e-learning. These factors are divided into two categories: “must-have” factors and “nice-to-have” ...

Influence of Addendum Modification Factor on Root Stresses in Normal Contact Ratio Asymmetric Spur Gears

Tooth root crack is considered as one of the crucial causes of failure in the gearing system and it occurs at the tooth root due to an excessive bending stress developed in the root region. The modern power transmission gear drives demand high bending load capacity, increased contact load capacity, low weight, reduced noise and longer life. These subsequent conditions are satisfied by the aid o...
