Understanding Gel Structural Properties to Control Macromolecule Mobility in Self Assembling Peptide Hydrogels

the effect of functional/notional approach on the proficiency level of efl learners and its evaluation through functional test

in fact, this study focused on the following questions: 1. is there any difference between the effect of functional/notional approach and the structural approaches to language teaching on the proficiency test of efl learners? 2. can a rather innovative language test referred to as "functional test" ge devised so so to measure the proficiency test of efl learners, and thus be as much reliable an...

Sex differences in forced-swim and open-field test behaviours after chronic administration of melatonin.

The effects of melatonin administered chronically on forced-swim test and open-field test behaviours were examined in male and female rats. The forced-swim test has been shown to be sensitive to all major classes of antidepressants and evidence indicates that melatonin possesses putative antidepressive properties. Male and female Long-Evans rats received either a regimen of chronic administrati...

A Self-Assembling Peptide Gel as a Vitreous Substitute: A Rabbit Study.

Purpose To evaluate a self-assembling peptide gel as a potential vitreous substitute. Methods PanaceaGel SPG-178, a self-assembling peptide gel, was diluted with distilled water and a balanced salt solution to achieve a final peptide concentration of 0.1%. The gel's refractive index, visible light transmission rate, and rheologic properties were investigated. The gel's biocompatibility was ev...
