BACKGROUND It has been reported that Omega-3 fatty acids may play a role in nervous system activity and that they improve cognitive development and reference memory-related learning, increase neuroplasticity of nerve membranes, contribute to synaptogenesis and are involved in synaptic transmission. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of Omega-3 supplementation on some cognitive and...

184 LLE Review, Volume 72 Current target designs for laser-driven inertially confined fusion experiments require that the laser drive pulse be tailored to the target, i.e., that the pulse have some temporal shape other than Gaussian. On the 60-beam OMEGA1 laser system this is accomplished by placing an electro-optic modulator at the input of the system, which is driven by an electrical pulse fr...

LLE Review, Volume 76 219 The 60-beam OMEGA Nd:glass laser is a direct-drive inertial confinement fusion (ICF) laser facility capable of achieving 30-kJ UV energy with an arbitrary temporal pulse shape predetermined by the target design. The initial low-energy, temporally shaped pulse is generated by the pulse-shaping system1 (similar to a design developed at the Lawrence Livermore National Lab...

objective: maternal type and amounts of dietary fatty acids affect on reproductive process in the mice. the present study investigated the effects of maternal supplementation with different amounts of omega-6 or omega-9 during pregnancy on the number of offspring, sex-ratio and duration of gestation. materials and methods: eight-week-old female c57bl/6 mice were randomly assigned into four diet...

background: omega 3 and vitamin e are two critical nutrients which include beneficial effects in coronary artery disease (cad). the aim of this study was to assess the effects of omega 3 alone supplementation or in combination with vitamin e on serum glucose and lipid levels and insulin resistance in cad patients. methods: participants of this clinical trial included 60 male patients with cad w...

Mice were injected for 30 days with plasma from three patients with Lambert-Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome (LEMS). Recordings were made from the perineurial sheath of motor axon terminals of triangularis sterni muscle preparations. The objective was to characterize pharmacologically the identity of kinetically distinct, defined potential changes associated with motor nerve terminal Ca2+ currents (IC...

Abstract Blockings are high-impact atmospheric systems of mid/high-latitudes and have been widely addressed in meteorological climatological studies. However, the diversity blocking definitions makes comparison across studies not straightforward. Here, we propose a conceptual model for life-cycle high-pressure that recognizes multifaceted transient characteristics these events. A detection sche...

We examine Boolos’ curious inference and formalize it in a system based on set theory (Mizar) and a system based on classical higher-order logic (OMEGA). The Boolos example is interesting because while it can in principle be proven using a complete first-order calculus, it is impractical to do so. In our case study we are interested in aspects such as how natural and at what level of granularit...
