We study the aging of a glassy Lennard-Jones binary mixture with molecular dynamics simulations. We follow the evolution of the packing as a function of the system’s age tw, the time passed since the system is quenched to below its glass transition temperature. We focus on simple properties of all tetrahedra formed by the majority of particles. We find that both the averages and the distributio...

With advances in anisotropic particle synthesis, particle shape is now a feasible parameter for tuning suspension properties. However, there is a need to determine how these newly synthesized particles affect suspension properties and a need to solve the inverse problem of inferring the particle shape from property measurements. Either way, accurate suspension property predictions are required....

The past decade has seen an explosion of work on calculi of explicit substitutions. Numerous work has illustrated the usefulness of these calculi for practical notions like the implementation of typed functional programming languages and higher order proof assistants. Three styles of explicit substitutions are treated in this paper: the λσ and the λse which have proved useful for solving practi...

Introduction: Celastrus paniculatus seed oil, commonly known as Malkangni or Jyotishmati, was in use from time immemorial to treat brain related disorders. Celastrus paniculatus seed oil has significant antidepressant-like activity in chronic unpredictable stressed mice. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the antidepressant-like effect of Celastrus paniculatus seed oil ...

in recent years transdifferentiation technology has enabled direct conversion of human fibroblasts to become a valuable, abundant and accessible cell source for patient-specific induced cell generation in biomedical research. the majority of transdifferentiation approaches rely upon viral gene delivery which due to random integration with the host genome can cause genome instability and tumorig...

Introduction: Depressive disorder is a prevalent psychiatric disorder, which affects 21% of the world population. The presently using drugs can impose a variety of side-effects including cardiac toxicity, hypopiesia, sexual dysfunction, body weight gain, and sleep disorder. During the last decade, there is a growing interest in the therapeutic effects of natural products on mental disorders. Am...

introduction: introduction: leucocytes accounted for 26-36% of the stromal cells in decidua of the first trimester of gestation in which 75% of them is related to endometrial granulated lymphocytes (egl) with an unusual natural killer (nk) cell-like phenotype. different roles are proposed for egl, but fundamental role of these cells in control for normrly underestood. material and methods: in t...

The effects of parathyroid hormone/parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTH/PTHrP) on late events in chondrocyte differentiation were investigated by a dual in vitro model where conditions of suspension versus adhesion culturing are permissive either for apoptosis or for the further differentiation of hypertrophic chondrocytes to osteoblast- like cells. Chick embryo hypertrophic chondrocytes ma...
