objective: morphological changes of ca1 neurons in rat hippocampus after transient and permanent focal cerebral ischemia were studied to clarify the nature of postischemic cell death in the subfield. materials and methods: male adult rats were divided into 3 groups: control (shamoperated), transient ischemic group (30 minutes of mcao followed by 48 hours of reperfusion), and permanent ischemic ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Reactive oxygen species produced during reperfusion may play a detrimental role in focal cerebral ischemia (FCI). We examined the protein expression of caspase-8, which plays a major role in both Fas-dependent and cytochrome c-dependent apoptotic pathways after FCI with or without reperfusion. Caspase-8 expression after transient FCI was compared between wild-type and tra...

Highly selective radical/radical cross-coupling is paid more attention in bond formations. However, due to their intrinsic active properties, radical species are apt to achieve homo-coupling instead of cross-coupling, which makes the selective cross-coupling as a great challenge and almost untouched. Herein a notable strategy to accomplish direct radical/radical oxidative cross-coupling has bee...

The excited-state dynamics of diindenoperylene (DIP) are investigated in dilute solution and in a solid film at room temperature using picosecond photoluminescence and femtosecond transient absorption measurements. In solution, DIP undergoes a rapid (0.89 ns) internal conversion back to its ground state, with no detectable formation of triplet or other long-lived states. In the solid state, mul...

In this review, recent models for the heating/evaporation of multicomponent and blended fuel droplets their implementation into numerical codes, used analysis processes in internal combustion engines, are reviewed. these models, diffusion species, recirculation, temperature gradient inside considered. The focus review is on group based analytical solutions to heat transfer species equations cod...

Transient chaos is a common phenomenon in nonlinear dynamics of many physical, biological, and engineering systems. In applications it is often desirable to maintain sustained chaos even in parameter regimes of transient chaos. We address how to sustain transient chaos in deterministic flows. We utilize a simple and practical method, based on extracting the fundamental dynamics from time series...

We analyze the transient dynamics leading to the establishment of a steady state in reaction-diffusion problems that model several important processes in cell and developmental biology and account for the diffusion and degradation of locally produced chemical species. We derive expressions for the local accumulation time, a convenient characterization of the time scale of the transient at a giv...

The coexistence of competing species is, due to unavoidable fluctuations, always transient. In this Letter, we investigate the ultimate survival probabilities characterizing different species in cyclic competition. We show that they often obey a surprisingly simple, though nontrivial behavior. Within a model where coexistence is neutrally stable, we demonstrate a robust zero-one law: When the i...

gradual decrease of biodiversity related to the rapid industrialization and urbanization is stimulating the fundamental research towards a better understanding of the relationships between biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. present study emphasizes the nature and status of floral diversity in the vicinity of integrated industrial estate-pantnagar, uttarakhand, india (iie-pantnagar).three m...

In 1909, several years before the famous `Organizer’ experiments of Spemann and Mangold, Ethel Browne demonstrated induction of a secondary axis in hydra by grafting a hypostome. Based on this and subsequent work, in the late sixties, Lewis Wolpert proposed the theory of morphogen gradients and positional information. We have studied secondary axis induction by hypostome and foot tissue using t...
