Background: rTMS is a clinically effective antidepressant treatment in elderly patients1. The brain's cortical excitability depends on thickness and the distance between coil cortex. Both coil-cortex could be affected due to atrophy occurring with age2. However, previous studies3–8 were inconsistent. Methods: This retrospective study included 129 patients major depressive disorder (MDD) recruit...

The study of mitochondrial diseases has revealed dramatic variability in the phenotypic presentation of mitochondrial genetic defects. To attempt to understand this variability, different authors have studied energy metabolism in transmitochondrial cell lines carrying different proportions of various pathogenic mutations in their mitochondrial DNA. The same kinds of experiments have been perfor...

We investigate effects of threshold resummation of logarithmic corrections lnN in Mellin space quantitatively. Threshold resummation leads to enhancement of next-to-leading-order QCD predictions for jet production at large jet transverse energy, which is in the trend indicated by experimental data. We show that this enhancement is completely determined by the behavior of threshold resummation a...

The aim of this study is to examine the nonlinear effects of fiscal and monetary policies on inflation during 1990:3 to 2013:1 based on threshold model. First lag of the liquidity growth is recognized as threshold variable with threshold value estimated at 6.37 percent. In low liquidity growth, the results indicate that inflation expectations and the lagged liquidity growth are the most importa...
