Unraveling the molecular mechanisms underlying memory formation in insects and a comparison with those of mammals will contribute to a further understanding of the evolution of higher-brain functions.As it is for mammals, insect memory can be divided into at least two distinct phases: protein-independent short-term memory and protein-dependent long
Traditional approaches to preclinical drug safety assessment have generally protected human patients from unintended adverse effects.However, these assessments typically occur too late to make changes in the formulation or in phase 1 and beyond, are highly dependent on animal studies and have the potential to lead to the termination of useful drugs
Abstract The lateral spread of the fluvial terraces due to liquefaction can cause tremendous physical damage to the underground structure.This paper designs a liquefaction slippage site and discusses the feasibility of the generalized response displacement method for investigating the seismic response of shield tunnels in liquefaction slippage area
Abstract Background Lung ultrasonography has been increasingly recognized has a valuable diagnostic tool.In adult patients with asthma/chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and wheezing, LUS usually presents as an A/nude profile Drone (normal profile, with sliding and A-lines, and without any abnormal findings) or at most reveals a decrease/absence
Domesticated apple (Malus x domestica Borkh.) is a major global crop and the genetic diversity held within the pool of cultivated varieties is important for the development of future cultivars.The aim of this study was to investigate the diversity held within the domesticated form, through the analysis of a major international germplasm collection
