Synaptic augmentation is a short-term component of synaptic plasticity that increases transmitter release during repetitive stimulation and decays thereafter with a time constant of approximately 7 sec. Augmentation has typically been observed under conditions where there is little or no depression because of depletion of synaptic vesicles from the readily releasable pool (RRP) of transmitter. ...

In this study, the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model is used to assess changes in surface runoff between baseline (1995–2014) future (2031–2050) periods Tougou watershed (37km 2 ) Burkina Faso. The study uses a combination of land use maps (for current periods) bias-corrected ensemble 9 CMIP6 climate models, under two warming scenarios. An increase rainfall (13.7% 18.8%) projected, wh...

The city of Staufen im Breisgau in southwest Germany suffers from a localized land uplift, which has occurred in the past six years in relation to geothermal drilling activities in 2007. So far, severe damages at 269 buildings have been recorded. The chemical transformation of anhydrite and water to gypsum, resulting in a volume increase, has been attributed as the cause of the uplift. Previous...

DESCRIPTION Capsular contracture is a common complication following breast augmentation. Although the etiology is unknown, it is hypothesized that subclinical infection contributes to the process. Surgical treatment strategies must take this into account to avoid recurrence.

The author describes the use of implants with exteriorized injection domes for patients undergoing breast augmentation. Domes were exteriorized for 1 to 5 days to allow the implant volume to be altered in the early postoperative period. Thirty-three patients were treated without any infections.
