The neurotransmitter glutamate mediates excitatory synaptic transmission by gating ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluRs). AMPA receptors (AMPARs), a subtype of iGluR, are strongly implicated in synaptic plasticity, learning, and memory. We previously discovered two classes of AMPAR auxiliary proteins in C. elegans that modify receptor kinetics and thus change synaptic transmission. Here, we h...

It has been shown that cat soleus (SOL) forces remain nearly constant despite increases in electromyography (EMG) activity for increasing speeds of locomotion, while medial gastrocnemius (MG) forces and EMG activity increase in parallel. Furthermore, during jumping, average cat SOL forces decrease, while average EMG activity increases dramatically compared with walking conditions. Finally, duri...

In this paper,the preparation of nano silica sol was used TEOS hydrolysis. Silica sol was used to compound the SiO2 sol / polyacrylate with acrylate monomer emulsion polymerization, the effect of sol amount and feeding methods of polyacrylate stability and other property of SiO2 / polyacrylate were studied.

Sol taraf yerleşimli akut apandisit atipik klinik bulguları nedeniyle bazen zor tanı alan bir hastalıktır. Bu sunumda orta bağırsak nonrotasyonuna eşlik eden sol yerleşimli akut apandisit olgusunun radyolojik bulgularını sunulmuştur. Altmış üç yaşında erkek hasta iki gündür devam eden sol alt kadran ağrısı ile hastanemize başvurdu. Daha önce bilinen bir hastalığı olmayan hastanın fizik muayenes...

This study explored the efficacy of 1 actigraphy (ACT) brand, at different analytic settings, for use to administer the Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSLT). Forty-one first-time postpartum mother and father participants were administered the MSLT with concurrent ACT. To identify ACT sleep onset latency (SOL), ACT signals were interpreted with iterations of different "wake threshold value" (WTV) ...

Light transducing phycobiliproteins are encapsulated in optically transparent sol-gel matrices. Absorption and fluorescence spectroscopies are used to characterize the effect of the sol-gel encapsulation on the conformation and aggregation states of the three major phycobiliproteins present in phycobilisomes: phycoerythrin, phycocyanin, and allophycocyanin. It is found that the effects of sol-g...

Sol-gel derived silica possess many promising features, including low-temperature preparation procedure, porosity, chemical and physical stability. Applications exploiting porous materials to encapsulate sensor molecules, enzymes and many other compounds, are developing rapidly. In this paper some potential applications, with emphasis on biomedical and environmental ones, are reviewed. The mate...
