In the brain of patients with multiple sclerosis, activated microglia/macrophages appear in active lesions and in normal appearing white matter.However, whether they play a beneficial or a detrimental role in the development of the pathology remains a controversial issue.The production of pro-inflammatory molecules by chronically activated microgli
In this work, several reinforced self-compacting concretes were prepared by using three types of fibers made of steel, polypropylene and glass, and three different types of mineral additions Computer PS2 Cable (marble powder, metakaolin and limestone powder).The water to cement ratio was kept constant at 0.34 and fibers were used in combination, ke
The island divertor has been proposed for power and particle exhaust in stellarators.It is investigated in the Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X) experiment.The divertor capabilities such as particle exhaust or radiative power dissipation scale with the divertor density.However, significantly lower divertor Soup Kettle Rethermalizers density has been obtained
Neurotrophism, structural plasticity, learning and long-term memory in mammals critically depend on neurotrophins binding Trk receptors to activate tyrosine kinase (TyrK) signaling, but Drosophila lacks full-length Trks, raising the question of how these processes occur in the fly.Paradoxically, truncated Trk isoforms lacking the TyrK BELTS predomi
Frequent applications of synthetic insecticides might cause environmental pollution due to the high residue.In addition, increasing insecticide resistance in many insect pests requires novel pest control methods.Nanotechnology could be a promising field of modern agriculture, and is receiving considerable attention in the development of novel nano-
