Schizophrenia symptoms segregate into positive, negative and cognitive, which exhibit differential sensitivity to drugs. Recent efforts to identify treatments targeting cognitive impairments in schizophrenia have directed attention to the cholinergic system for its well documented role in cognition. Relatedly, muscarinic antagonists (e.g. scopolamine) produce an 'antimuscarinic syndrome', chara...

We study the existence, uniqueness and rate of decay of correlation of equilibrium measures associated to robust classes of non-uniformly expanding local diffeomorphisms and Hölder continuous potentials. The approach used in this paper is the spectral analysis of the Ruelle-PerronFrobenius transfer operator. More precisely, we combine the expanding features of the eigenmeasures of the transfer ...

The formation potentials of solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) were investigated in 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium bis(fluorosulfonyl)amide (BMPFSA) and bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)amide (BMPTFSA) containing LiFSA LiTFSA, respectively, by monitoring the redox reaction ferrocene with high sensitivity. SEI was found to affect electrode kinetics outersphere electron transfer reaction. SEIs thicknes...

Reports of studies conducted on the survival time of the cysts of Entamoeba histolytica are frequently found in the literature of this parasite (Yorke and Adams, 1926, Jones and Newton, 1950, and Chang, 1950), but the survival time of the trophoxoites of E. histolytica in culture is seldom discussed (Tsuchiya, 1945). The work reported here was therefore undertaken in the hope that a detailed te...

We propose an efficient iterative scheme for calculating the box-counting (capacity) dimension of a chaotic attractor in terms of its average expansion rates. Similar to the Kaplan-Yorke conjecture for the information dimension, this scheme provides a connection between a geometric property of a strange set and its underlying dynamical properties. Our conjecture is demonstrated analytically wit...

intercalation of lithium into ag-cnts sample is reported here. we have used a nano-porous silver foam as a frame for deposition of the cnts   inside   the   pores   by   electrophoresis   deposition   (epd) technique. by using  chronopotentiometry method,  we  have noticed that the li storage capacity of the prepared ag-cnts electrode was improved  noticeably  in  comparison  with  literature. ...

Ulam’s method is a rigorous numerical scheme for approximating invariant densities of dynamical systems. The phase space is partitioned into connected sets and an inter-set transition matrix is computed from the dynamics; an approximate invariant density is read off as the leading left eigenvector of this matrix. When a hole in phase space is introduced, one instead searches for conditional inv...
