spinal cord injury (sci) leads to a significant health problem associated with a broad range of secondary complications and disabilities. in this regard, animal models can help us to understand the pathobiology of sci and evaluate the effects of potential treatments for sci. in contusion models of sci, different devices including surgical spring-loaded clips, balloons, forceps, weights and the ...

This chapter aims to contribute to the debate on fi nancial system reform. In the fi rst part I describe what I perceive to be a massive regulatory failure, a breakdown that goes all the way from regulatory fundamentals to prudential implementation. Although there has been some truly shocking behavior in the world of fi nance, the universal denunciation of “fi nancial madness” is pointless. Man...

Using a less deceptive variant of the false evidence ploy, interrogators often use the bluff tactic, whereby they pretend to have evidence to be tested without further claiming that it necessarily implicates the suspect. Three experiments were conducted to assess the impact of the bluff on confession rates. Using the Kassin and Kiechel (Psychol Sci 7:125-128, 1996) computer crash paradigm, Expe...

This front cover conceptually demonstrates a biomimetic cellular-eating phenomenon in roomtemperature liquid metal which is called Liquid Metal Phagocytosis. During the process, tiny liquid metal “cells” intake micro or nano metal particles in an aqueous environment upon applying an electrical polarization or other excitations. The underlying mechanisms are discussed in article number 1700024 b...
