Axon size in the optic nerves of three adult cats was measured using an accurate planimetric method. A sample of the axon complement was obtained from sets of more than 125 electron micrographs taken at each nerve. In contrast to previous reports, the distribution of axon diameter, as estimated from measurements of axonal cross-sectional area was clearly bimodal. The group of finest axons had a...

Cooperation in one-shot anonymous interactions is a widely documented aspect of human behaviour. Here we shed light on the motivations behind this behaviour by experimentally exploring cooperation in a one-shot continuous-strategy Prisoner's Dilemma (i.e. one-shot two-player Public Goods Game). We examine the distribution of cooperation amounts, and how that distribution varies based on the ben...

Columnar aerosol volume size distributions from March 2012 to February 2013 in Wuhan, China, were investigated with a focus on monthly and seasonal variations in the aerosol optical depths (AODs) and Ångström exponents. AOD is wavelength dependent, and for AOD at, for example, 500 nm, the seasonal averaged AOD value decreased in the order of winter (~0.84), spring (~0.83), summer (~0.76) and au...

The development of zeolites possessing dendritic features represents a great opportunity for the design novel materials with applications in large variety fields and, particular, energy sector to afford its transition towards low carbon system. In current work, ZSM-5 zeolite showing 3D nanoarchitecture has been synthesized by functionalization protozeolitic nanounits an amphiphilic organosilane...

In this study, ultrafine grained 2024 Al alloy based B4C particles reinforced composite was produced by mechanical milling and hot extrusion. Mechanical milling was used to synthesize the nanostructured Al2024 in attrition mill under argon atmosphere up to 50h. A similar process was used to produce Al2024-5%wt. B4C composite powder. To produce trimodal composites, milled powders were combined w...

Temperate forests are highly complex ecosystems in which many aspects of invertebrate distribution and abundance remain poorly understood. In order to accumulate data on the vertical temporal forest Lepidoptera Republic Mordovia (central European part Russia), specimens were collected with beer-baited traps from April October 2019–2022. Traps deployed at different heights above ground level (i....

Background: Isoniazid (INH) is one of the most potent TB drug. High dose INH used in short regimen MDR drugs. The genetic polymorphism NAT2 affects acetylation status. Awareness patients’ acetylator status important to determine risk toxicity, treatment failure and drug resistance. aim this study was demonstrate genotype association with plasma concentration after 2 hours oral therapy. Methods:...

Context. As the number of detected gravitational wave sources increases, better we can understand mass distribution binary black holes (BBHs). This “stellar graveyard” shows several features, including an apparent gap that makes bimodal. In turn, observed chirp appears to be trimodal. Aims. We aim investigate extent which explain based on stellar evolution, specifically with hypothesis is cause...

Knowledge of current epidemiology and spine trauma trends assists in public resource allocation, fine-tuning of primary prevention methods, and benchmarking purposes. Data on all patients with traumatic spine injuries admitted to the Alfred Hospital, Melbourne between May 1, 2009, and January 1, 2011, were collected from the Alfred Trauma Registry, Alfred Health medical database, and Victorian ...
