Our recent findings have demonstrated that rodent models of closed head traumatic brain injury exhibit comprehensive evidence of progressive and enduring orofacial allodynias, a hypersensitive pain response induced by non-painful stimulation. These allodynias, tested using thermal hyperalgesia, correlated with changes in several known pain signaling receptors and molecules along the trigeminal ...

The present study was aimed to analyse the impact of biofield energy treatment on the physicochemical and spectral properties of 4-MBA. The compound was divided into two parts which are referred as the control and treated sample. The treated sample was subjected to Mr. Trivedi’s biofield energy treatment and analysed with respect to the control sample. The various analytical techniques used wer...

[1] We have utilized optical constants derived from thermal infrared spectra acquired by the Mariner 9 Infrared Interferometer Spectrometer (M9 IRIS) and Mars Global Surveyor Thermal Emission Spectrometer (MGS TES), during periods of relatively high dust/low water ice opacity, to generate synthetic transmission and emission spectra of the atmospheric dust. Using libraries of transmission and em...

Introduction: CM chondrites experienced relatively low-temperature aqueous alteration, at least some of which happened on their parent body. The conditions under which aqueous alteration occurred are: fluid temperatures of 0-25°C [1], from the time of asteroid formation up to 15 Myr [2-4] and mobility over scales of only tens of μm [5, 6]. Asteroid thermal models [7] have been successful in des...

In today’s environment of shrinking resources, and consistent need for accurate inspections, simulation software is an effective cost cutting tool. CIVA is an advanced NDT simulation software dedicated to modeling ultrasonic (UT), radiographic (RT) and eddy current (ET) inspections without the need for physical test sample or inspection equipment. Each inspection module is comprised of simulati...

Since the beginning of the nineties, the CEA (the French Atomic Energy Commisssion), with developing the CIVA NDT expertise platform is greatly involved in the development of simulation tools. Over the years, and with successive versions of CIVA, the results of modeling research work have been being integrated into the software both for ultrasonics and Eddy current techniques. In order to fullf...

Collaboration networks provide a method for examining the highly heterogeneous structure of collaborative communities. However, we still have limited theoretical understanding of how individual heterogeneity relates to network heterogeneity. The model presented here provides a framework linking an individual’s skill set to her position in the collaboration network, and the distribution of skill...

In a recent publication on experimental haemarthrosis in the rabbit we described many interesting ultrastructural changes that occur in the synovial membrane (Roy and Ghadially, 1966). Two such changes attracted our attention: an increase in the number of intermediate and Type B synovial cells, and the occurrence of many small and large vesicles containing fiocculent and granular material. Howe...

By inducing two-photon absorption within the active layer of a 28nm test chip, we demonstrate nonlinear laser-assisted device alteration and single-event upsets by temporarily perturbing the timing characteristics of sensitive transistors. Individual qualitative and quantitative evaluations are presented for both techniques, with lateral resolutions demonstrated with sub-100nm performance. A si...
