Electrically evoked compound action potential (ECAP) measures of peak amplitude, and amplitude-growth function (AGF) slope have been shown to reflect characteristics of cochlear health (primarily spiral ganglion density) in anesthetized cochlear-implanted guinea pigs. Likewise, the effect of increasing the interphase gap (IPG) in each of these measures also reflects SGN density in the implanted...

AnGiang Fisheries Ex-Import Joint Stock Company (AGF) was established in 2001. Agifish has traditionally beena leader the fields of production and business activities, scientific research field fingerling production, seafood processing technology development value added products processed from Basa fish, tra fish. cares about buildinga spirit solidarity between leaders, managers workers strivin...

BACKGROUND Leptin, angiopoietin-related growth factor (AGF), adiponectin (ADP), and retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4) are cytokines associated with the development of metabolic disorders, such as type 2 diabetes and cardio vascular disease. However, the levels of these cytokines have not extensively studied in non-diabetic subjects. Therefore, we analyzed the differences in these cytokine levels...

The plastid gene psbD encodes the photosystem II reaction center chlorophyll protein D2. psbD is located in a complex operon that includes psbC, psbK, psbl, orf62, and tmG. The operon is transcribed from at least three different promoters. One of the psbD promoters is differentially activated when plants are exposed to blue light. In this study, the psbD blue light-responsive promoter was accur...

Artificial ground freezing (AGF) is used worldwide for vertical shaft sinking in difficult hydrogeological conditions. The modern tendency to determine the design parameters of technique based on numerical simulation. This work devoted simulation formation an ice-soil wall soil stratum due AGF and under protection wall. For this purpose, a fully coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical model has been de...

A novel silver(I)-fluoride-mediated homocoupling reaction of β,β-difluorostyrene derivatives is described. The transformation is initiated via nucleophilic addition of silver(I) fluoride to β,β-difluorostyrenes, which is followed by dimerization of the corresponding benzylsilver intermediates. The reaction shows good substrate scope, functional group tolerance, and represents the first report o...

The highly unusual divalent silver in difluoride (AgF$_2$) features a nearly square lattice of Ag$^{+2}$ bridged by fluorides. As structural and electronic analogue cuprates, its superconducting properties are yet to be examined. Our first principles structure calculations reveal striking resemblance between AgF$_2$ the cuprates. Computed spin susceptibility shows magnetic instability consisten...
