The effect of the fluorinated memantine derivative and NMDA receptor antagonist, 1-amino-3-fluoromethyl-5-methyl-adamantane (F-MEM), at the NMDA receptor ion channel was studied by patch clamp recording. The results showed that F-MEM is a moderate NMDA receptor channel blocker. A procedure for the routine preparation of the F-labelled analog F-MEM has been developed using a two-step reaction se...

A module was designed and developed that integrates the steps of Problem-based learning ( PBL) fluid intelligence skills (PBL-FI Module), then evaluated its impact on conceptual understanding (CU) mechanical energy machines (MEM) for 6th graders in Jordan. The using ADDIE instructional design model, which included five stages: analysis, design, development, implementation, evaluation. Ten exper...

We extend the theory of Laplacian image contrast in mirror electron microscopy (MEM) to the case where the sample is illuminated by a parallel, collimated beam. This popular imaging geometry corresponds to a modern low energy electron microscope equipped with a magnetic objective lens. We show that within the constraints of the relevant approximations; the results for parallel illumination diff...

Malignant ectomesenchymoma (MEM) is a rare soft tissue tumour believed to arise from a pluripotential migratory neural crest cell and composed of both a mesenchymal element (most often rhabdomyosarcoma) and a neuroectodermal element (often neuroblastoma). Reported sites of origin are the abdomen, perineum or scrotum, the extremities, the middle ear, nasopharynx, face, and neck. We report the fi...

In the magnetic Eden model (MEM), particles have a spin and grow in contact with a thermal bath. Although Ising-like interactions affect the growth dynamics, deposited spins are frozen and not allowed to flip. This review article focuses on recent developments and future prospects, such as spontaneous switching phenomena, critical behavior associated with fractal, wetting, and order-disorder ph...

This study integrates memorable experience (MEM)into customer engagement (CE) by introducing two composites, namely, lifetime value and influence [CLV/CIV], as proxies for traditional revisit intention. Drawing upon CE theory the service–profit chain framework, our causal-predictive model of CLV CIV extends MEM literature identifying potential antecedents, employee service innovation. Based on ...

This paper presents the modeling and simulation of a 2x2 optical MEM switch using our system-level, mixed-technology CAD tool, Chatoyant. Simulations include operation in both the “cross” and “bar” states and the mechanical tolerancing of the system.

An experimental setup for the characterization of electromagnetic induced heat on MEMS devices undertaking high RF power regime (> 5W) is here proposed. The technique is based on infrared (IR) imaging of on-probe DUT, while it is in working conditions. The measured temperature distributions, for different working state of a RF-MEMS switch, are given. The results show that for a first considered...
