Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a slowly progressive form of dementia, characterized by memory impairment and cognitive dysfunction. AD is mainly characterized by the deposition of amyloid β (Aβ) plaques and intracellular neurofibrillary tangles in the brain, along with neuronal degeneration and high levels of oxidative stress. Cilostazol (CSZ) was recently found to suppress the progression of cogn...

BACKGROUND Although many studies have assessed cognitive functioning in first-episode schizophrenia (FESz), the pattern and severity of impairment across cognitive domains remain unclear. Moreover, few studies have directly compared the pattern of cognitive performance between FESz and chronic schizophrenia (CSz). In this study we examined the cognitive impairment profile in FESz using a standa...

Thermal Barrier Coatings are subjected to spallation and destabilization due to hot corrosion.Recently, Ceria Stabilized Zirconia (CSZ)-based TBCs have been intensively investigated for the YSZreplacement because CSZ has a much lower thermal conductivity and a higher expected thermalexpansion coefficient than those of YSZ. In this research, Yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) andceria stabilized z...

Abstract—Multiple channels present IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol designers with a number of options in their attempt to calm the effects of Hidden Terminal Problems (HTPs). The research on multi-channels shows that the effects of HTPs can be reduced and limited to Request To Send/Clear To Send (RTS/CTS) control packets. Unfortunately our analysis shows that data packets can be affected by HTPs. An e...

2014 Room temperature plasma anodization of silicon (growth rate of a few nm/min.) is possible through a thin calcia stabilized zirconia (CSZ) layer. The anodization kinetics, the composition and the electrical properties of the anodic SiO2 films are studied. Constant voltage or low current anodization lead to quasi defect free films with reduced surface roughness. The dielectric breakdown fiel...

Three different compositions with 9%, 12%, and 15% of calcia-stabilised zirconia (CSZ) were prepared from commercially available submicron-sized powders by cryo-milling. The influence the sintering conditions, temperature, dwell time varied as 1400, 1500, 1600 °C, at durations 4, 3, 2 h on mechanical properties is studied. SEM XRD studies performed pellets obtained hydraulic pressing in a uniax...
