clearance of soluble Ab. Mutations in the apoE gene are the most common genetic defect associated with sporadic Alzheimer’s, thus activation of the gene is considered to be a promising approach. Landreth and colleagues found that oral administration of bexarotene resulted in improved clearance of soluble Ab within a few hours, due to enhanced apoE activity. They also found that the area affecte...

Stronger-Than-Quantum Correlations

After an elementary derivation of Bell’ s inequality, classical, quantum mechanical , and stronger-than-quantum correlation functions for 2-particle-systems are discussed. Special functions are investigated which give rise to an extreme violation of Bell’ s inequality by the value of 4. Referring to a specific quantum system it is shown that under certain conditions such an extreme violation wo...
