landmark based geometric morphometrics and comparison of meristic characters was used to understand potential differences between populations of waspi in mashkil and mokran basins. 97 specimens of waspies were caught (64 from mashkil river and 33 from sarbaz river). 14 landmarks were digitized on pictures taken from left side of specimens and meristic characters were counted. data were analyzed...

reelin is an extracellular matrix neuroprotein which plays important roles during development and maturation of cerebellum. in the postnatal cerebellum, reelin is synthesized by cerebellar granule cells and secreted to extracellular matrix. this secreted protein modulates adult synaptic function, neurotransmitter release and regulates plasticity. exercise has beneficial effects on central nervo...

A bounding surface plasticity model based on the effective stress concept is presented to describe behaviour of unsaturated structured soils subjected hydro-mechanical loadings. The structural degradation effects compressive and tensile strength are considered through controlling size surface, allowing for a smooth transition response from unstructured states. modelled using work hardening appr...

A simple constitutive model for the inelastic response of steel under monotonic and random cyclic loading conditions is developed within the framework of bounding surface plasticity. The particular feature that distinguishes this model from other similar ones is the ability of the bounding surface formulation to describe in a very simple way the initial “plateau” type of perfectly plastic respo...

the present paper is devoted to a new critical state based plasticity model able to predict drained and undrained behaviour of granular material. it incorporates a bounding surface plasticity model describing in multilaminate framework to capitalize on advantages of this mathematical framework. most of the models developed using stress/strain invariants are not capable of identifying the parame...

a semi-micromechanical multilaminate model is introduced here to predict the mechanical behavior of soils. this model is like a bridge between micro and macro scale upon the satisfaction of minimum potential energy level during any applied stress/strain increments. the concept of this model is based on a certain number of sampling planes which constitute the elastic-plastic behavior of the soil...

context the current study aimed to review research articles concerning cortical representational plasticity following the manipulations of inputs. evidence acquisition this review article compromised previous studies in pubmed, google scholar and scientific information databases according to the keywords since 1988. results ca1 neurons depolarization paired with ca3 presynaptic input result in ...

The presynaptic metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR) mGluR7 modulates excitatory neurotransmission by regulating neurotransmitter release and plays a critical role in certain forms of synaptic plasticity. Although the dynamic regulation of mGluR7 surface expression governs a form of metaplasticity in the hippocampus, little is known about the molecular mechanisms regulating mGluR7 traffickin...
