Our study investigated the apoptotic mechanism of rat cortical neurons following hypoxia/reperfusion induced endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) in vitro and to explore the effect of caspase-9 inhibition on ERS induced apoptosis. Cortical neurons were collected from neonatal rats and cultured in vitro. Immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence staining for neuron-specific enolase (NSE) were pe...

In this talk I summarize a recently proposed mechanism to understand ππ scattering to 1 GeV. The model is motivated by the 1/NC expansion to QCD, and includes a current algebra contact term and resonant pole exchanges. Chiral symmetry plays an important role in restricting the form of the interactions. The existence of a broad low energy scalar (σ) is indicated.

Satratoxin G (SG) is a macrocyclic trichothecene mycotoxin produced by Stachybotrys chartarum, the "black mold" suggested to contribute etiologically to illnesses associated with water-damaged buildings. Using an intranasal instillation model in mice, we found that acute SG exposure specifically induced apoptosis of olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) in the olfactory epithelium. Dose-response ana...

the omega polynomial(x) was recently proposed by diudea, based on the length of stripsin given graph g. the sadhana polynomial has been defined to evaluate the sadhana index ofa molecular graph. the pi polynomial is another molecular descriptor. in this paper wecompute these three polynomials for some infinite classes of nanostructures.

π-calculus is a framework that aims to describe concurrent calculations through a formal definition of processes. Originally, π-calculus is defined by a formal language and a set of reduction rules, much in the spirit of λ-calculus. Our aim is to provide a graphical representation of π-calculus using multi-wired interaction nets, in the spirit this time of proof-nets of linear logic. 1 π-calcul...
