Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and its signal transducing receptor, the TrkB tyrosine protein kinase, are expressed at high levels in the hippocampus of the adult brain, suggesting a role for BDNF mechanisms in neuronal plasticity. To test this hypothesis, we used defined lesions of perforant path and fimbria-fornix, two major hippocampal afferents, to remove synapses on dendrites of ...

Neurotransmitters have been reported to regulate neurite outgrowth in several vertebrate and nonvertebrate species. In this study, cultures of isolated embryonic day 12 (E12) chick sympathetic neurons were grown in the presence of cholinergic receptor agonists or antagonists. Both ACh and the nonhydrolyzable cholinergic agonist carbamylcholine (CCh) inhibited neurite outgrowth. ACh (0.1-1.0 mM)...

The alkaline thermal treatment of biomass has recently been proposed as a novel method for producing high purity H2 with suppressed COx formation under moderate reaction conditions (i.e., 523 K and ambient pressure). This technology has a great potential for sustainable bioenergy production because it can handle a wide range of feedstocks including biomass and biogenic wastes with high water co...

Hydrogen can be produced via methane pyrolysis in a molten metal bubble column to create separable carbon. Tin is used as base this study, and catalytically active metals such nickel copper are added it. The study uses differential equation that takes into account both parallel catalytic surface reactions on the conventional noncatalytic gas bulk. research analyzes effect of type, temperature, ...
