Unraveling the epigenetic status of neuronal cells in the brain is critical to our understanding of the pathophysiology of psychiatric disorders, which may reflect a complex interaction between genetic and environmental factors. Several epigenetic studies of mood disorders have been conducted with postmortem brains. However, proper interpretation of the results is hampered by our scant understa...

Systematic fabrication of nanoparticle stabilizers can substantially modify the properties of prepared nanoparticles; here the synthesis of solubility adjustable nanoparticles is achieved by employing a family of polarity modulated stabilizers.

The objective of this study was to describe further the mechanism by which polysaccharide stabilizers contribute to stability of frozen dairy desserts. The influence of stabilizers on the thermal properties and viscosity of carbohydrate solutions at subzero temperatures, on the thermal properties of ice cream mix, and on ice crystallization and growth in ice cream were investigated. Polysacchar...

The rotator cuff is comprised of the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, subscapularis, and teres minor muscles and tendons. The four muscles of the rotator cuff act as stabilizers of the glenohumeral joint. The supraspinatus is primarily a shoulder abductor. The supraspinatus muscle originates along the dorsal surface of the scapula. The muscle fibers course in a lateral orientation and converge to ...

The stabilizer of an infinite word w over a finite alphabet Σ is the monoid of morphisms over Σ that fix w. In this paper we study various problems related to stabilizers and their generators. We show that over a binary alphabet, there exist stabilizers with at least n generators for all n. Over a ternary alphabet, the monoid of morphisms generating a given infinite word by iteration can be inf...

OBJECTIVE The efficacy of mood stabilizers in children and adolescents has not been studied adequately. This article will review existing studies and highlight some important issues in designing future studies on these agents. METHOD Electronic databases including Medline, Psycholnfo, and CRISP were searched for data in children receiving compounds that have mood-stabilizing properties in adu...

background and aims: rubella is a contagious viral disease mostly with mild clinical symptoms and often remains undiagnosed. rubella infection may adversely affect pregnancy, especially in the first trimester and this mother to child transmission can cause congenital rubella and may be lead to permanent disability and mortality in children. effective rubella vaccine should be prepared using sui...

Most countries have automatic rules in their tax-and-transfer systems that are intended, at least partly, to stabilize economic fluctuations. We measure how effective these automatic stabilizers are in a modern business-cycle model. We consider the effect of the stabilizers on aggregate demand, on the incentives to work and save, and on the distribution of income across households, all of which...

The elbow joint is a complex structure that provides an important function as the mechanical link in the upper extremity between the hand, wrist and the shoulder. The elbow's functions include positioning the hand in space for fine movements, powerful grasping and serving as a fulcrum for the forearm. Loss of elbow function can severely affect activities of daily living. It is important to reco...
