Though disparate in presentation, these disorders share a common biologic origin, and over the past quarter century this group of disorders has grown from relative obscurity to near ubiquity, with a lifetime prevalence approaching 20% in school-age children in ...

Over the past decade, bipolar electrochemistry has emerged from relative obscurity to provide a promising new means for integrating electrochemistry into lab-on-a-chip systems. This article describes the fundamental operating principles of bipolar electrodes, as well as several interesting applications.

Kainate receptor agonists depress transmitter release at several synapses in the hippocampus. Distinct mechanisms appear to underlie this phenomenon at different synapses. Recently, it has emerged that presynaptic kainate receptors can also potentiate the release of both GABA and glutamate and that axonal kainate receptors can trigger ectopic action potentials in interneurons. Because synaptica...

API calls are programming interfaces used by applications. When it is difficult for an analyst to perform a direct reverse analysis of program, the provides important basis analyzing behavior and functionality program. address spaces essential analysts identify call information, therefore obfuscation as protection strategy prevent from obtaining information spaces. avoids aims create more compl...

An investigation to clarify some obscurity about Melanopsidae was performed on specimens collected from different sites of the South Iraq. Three morphs were recognized, two are widespread: Melanopsis costata and nodosa, other subtingitana has a narrow distributions. Key words: Melanopsidae; costata; nodosa; subtingitana; Iraq
