High doses of 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) have been shown to cause long-lasting depletions of central serotonin (5-HT) which are indicative of neuronal toxicity. The noncompetitive N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist dizocilpine (DZ) attenuates depletions of 5-HT induced by MDMA. Because DZ has been shown to induce hypothermia in rat models of ischemia, the purpose of t...

We present TeMP—the first experimental system for testing validity of monodic temporal logic formulae. The prover implements fine-grained temporal resolution. The core operations required by the procedure are performed by an efficient resolution-based prover for classical first-order logic. 1 Monodic First-Order Temporal Logic First-Order Temporal Logic, FOTL, is an extension of classical first...

I found some mistakes on Table 2 (page 1643) in my published paper in Materials [1]. A correct table is provided here. Table 2. The relationships between molecular structures of yellow anthraquinone dyes and their solubilities and dichroic ratios. Dye Solubility (wt %) 1) Dichroic ratio r. t. Low temp.

As a multicellular animal’s tissues mature throughout embryogenesis, its cells must communicate with each another to determine their appropriate placement and physiological role. In some cases, this communication takes place through longrange, secreted signals; in others, through direct cell-cell contact. One example of the latter case is a process called lateral inhibition, wherein a developin...

This paper selects two typical compounds containing organic sulfur as model compounds. Then, by analyzing the chromatograms of gaseous low-temp oxidation products and GC/MS of the extractable matter of the oxidation residue, we summarizing the mechanism of low-temp sulfur model compound oxidation. The results show that between 30°C to 80°C, the interaction between diphenyl sulfide and oxygen is...

Background: The notion that weather conditions may influence the symptoms and course of rheumatic musculoskeletal diseases goes back to ancient times. However, despite seemingly obvious relationship, previous studies assessing how meteorological variables affect pain disease activity have yielded contradictory results. Objectives: To evaluate whether in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). ...

approved: John P. Bolte The WET-Temp (Watershed Evaluation Tool Temperature) model is designed to take advantage of spatially explicit datasets to predict stream temperature distribution. Datasets describing vegetation cover, stream network locations, elevation and stream discharge are utilized by WET-Temp to quantify geometric relationships between the sun, stream channel and riparian areas.
