Conformational Dynamics and Stability of U-Shaped and S-Shaped Amyloid β Assemblies
Alzheimer's disease is the most fatal neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the aggregation and deposition of Amyloid β (Aβ) oligomers in the brain of patients. Two principal variants of Aβ exist in humans: Aβ1-40 and Aβ1-42. The former is the most abundant in the plaques, while the latter is the most toxic species and forms fibrils more rapidly. Interestingly, fibrils of Aβ1-40 peptides ...
متن کاملResonant tunneling through S- and U-shaped graphene nanoribbons.
We theoretically investigate resonant tunneling through S- and U-shaped nanostructured graphene nanoribbons. A rich structure of resonant tunneling peaks is found emanating from different quasi-bound states in the middle region. The tunneling current can be turned on and off by varying the Fermi energy. Tunability of resonant tunneling is realized by changing the width of the left and/or right ...
متن کاملNon U-Shaped Vacillatory and Team Learning
U-shaped learning behaviour in cognitive development involves learning, unlearning and relearning. It occurs, for example, in learning irregular verbs. The prior cognitive science literature is occupied with how humans do it, for example, general rules versus tables of exceptions. This paper is mostly concerned with whether Ushaped learning behaviour may be necessary in the abstract mathematica...
متن کاملAlcohol and mortality: a U-shaped curve.
In a longitudinal study of civil servants, 1422 men were classified according to their average daily alcohol intake. Over 10 years of follow-up, the mortality rate was lower in men reporting moderate alcohol intake than in either non-drinkers or heavier drinkers (greater than 34 g alcohol per day). Cardiovascular mortality was greater in non-drinkers and non-cardiovascular mortality was greater...
متن کاملMemory-Limited U-Shaped Learning
U-shaped learning is a learning behaviour in which the learner first learns something, then unlearns it and finally relearns it. Such a behaviour, observed by psychologists, for example, in the learning of past-tenses of English verbs, has been widely discussed among psychologists and cognitive scientists as a fundamental example of the non-monotonicity of learning. Previous theory literature h...
