The effect of lithium on neurocognition is not still fully explored. Brain oscillatory activity is altered in bipolar disorder. We aimed to assess the oscillatory responses of euthymic bipolar patients and how they are affected by lithium monotherapy. Event-related oscillations in response to visual target stimulus during an oddball paradigm in 16 euthymic drug-free and 13 euthymic lithium-trea...

I present detailed analysis of the near-infrared spectrum of HD 3651B, a faint, co-moving wide companion to the nearby planet-hosting star HD 3651. The presence of strong H2O and CH4 absorption bands confirm this source as a late T-type brown dwarf with spectral type T8. Application of the technique of Burgasser, Burrows & Kirkpatrick yields Teff = 840±80 K, log g = 4.9±0.2, M = 30±10 MJup and ...

The popular M-toN thread scheduling model multiplexes many user-level threads on top of fewer kernel-level threads. While this model is designed to be scalable and eecient without excessive resource consumption, we isolate several elementary examples under which the M-toN model exhibits highly nonintuitive performance. We use a runtime performance monitor for multithreaded programs which we hav...

Malaria remains one of the most deadly diseases threatening humankind and is still affecting a significant proportion of the world population, especially in Africa. Chemotherapy is a vital component of the fight against the disease and new antimalarial agents are urgently needed to curb the spread of malaria parasites that are resistant to existing drugs. The natural product tryptanthrin is kno...

The present investigation the effect of different microbial culture on growth, yield and quality Sponge Gourd (Luffa cylindrica L.) was undertaken at Vegetable Research Farm, Department Horticulture, Naini Agricultural Institute, Sam Higginbottom University Agriculture, Technology & Sciences, Prayagraj (UP) during 2022. experiment laid out in a Randomized Block Design with 10 tratment viz.,...

A case of extramedullary spinal root hemangioblastoma is described. A 44-year-old male presented with gait disturbance. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging revealed a round enhanced mass at the level of T8. Spinal angiography showed a vascular tumor fed by the posterior spinal artery via the left T9 intercostal artery. A laminectomy of T8-T9 was performed, and a reddish brown-colored soft tumor ori...

One hundred forty-four finishing pigs were used to determine the influence of added dietary niacin on their growth performance and meat quality. Gilts grew slower, ate less, and were more efficient than barrows for the entire growth performance period. Increasing dietary niacin levels to 25 g/ton increased ADG in gilts for the first 25 days, but decreased ADG for barrows. No other interactions ...
