Experience-related changes induced by modification of environment, physical exercise, or cognitive training affect brain structure and function. Research on brain plasticity and its relationship to experiential changes gathers momentum and attracts significant public interest. This collection of papers is based on presentation at the First International Conference on Life-Span Plasticity of Bra...

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...

The post-translational modifications (PTMs) are defined as the covalent modification or enzymatic modification of proteins during or after protein biosynthesis. Proteins are synthesized by ribosomes translating mRNA into polypeptide chains, which may then undergo PTM to form the mature protein product. PTMs are important components in cell signaling. Moreover, it is a known fact that PTM regula...

The paper presents a modification of the self-organizing Kohonen networks for more efficient coping with complex, multidimensional cluster-analysis problems. The essence of modification consists in allowing the neuron chain as the learning progresses to disconnect and later to reconnect again. First, the operation of the modified approach has been illustrated by means of synthetic data set. The...

Early-life nutrition has been suggested to influence the progression of chronic disease. In this issue of Clinical Science, Ozanne and colleagues argue that the pre- and post-natal diet can have a significant impact on the risk of becoming overweight in later life. Although an intriguing finding that warrants further investigation, it is most likely that the key to stemming the obesity pandemic...

it has been encountering with large modifications and developments during recent decades and it makes large developments at rey & islamshahr regions. as the habitation areas as shaped in different dimensions. thought it can investigate the implicational structural at large scales even at littler scales too. nevertheless the essential applications of living areas on over coming life need such ha...

The use of wood in outdoor conditions is great importance for the service life wood, and process thermal modification (TM) directly affects effective value products. This paper presents theoretical experimental studies parameters influencing TM on changes its physical mechanical properties. Experimental were performed thermally modified samples different values influential modification: T (°C)...
