Global cerebral ischemia (GCI) leads to inflammation and neuronal death in CA1. Curcumin with neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory properties is a potential candidate for suppressing cell death. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of curcumin on neuronal number in the CA1 area following GCI. 28 Sprague-Dawley male rats were randomly assigned into four groups including sham, cont...

Let G be a reductive algebraic group defined over Q and let A be the ring of adèles of Q. The spectral side of the Arthur trace formula for G is a sum of distributions on G(A) which are defined in terms of truncated Eisenstein series. In general, the spectral side is only known to be conditionally convergent. In this paper we prove that for GLn, the spectral side of the trace formula is absolut...

I treat the dynamics of interorganizational collaboration from a dialogue perspective. This extends the ‘exploitative’ and ‘explorative’ approaches that currently define scholarship on interorganizational collaboration. A dialogue perspective is argued to be particularly useful in understanding interorganizational efforts to tackle systemic issues that are technically as well as behaviorally co...

The Internet, the global network which connects millions of computers in a web, makes almost immediate communication possible, irrespective of the location of its users. The fast growth in the total number of users, both private and professional, is exceeding most predictions. Likewise, the amount of accessible medical information is increasing rapidly. Ideally, this could provide a formidable ...

OBJECTIVE Endovascular robotics systems, now approved for clinical use in the United States and Europe, are seeing rapid growth in interest. Determining who has sufficient expertise for safe and effective clinical use remains elusive. Our aim was to analyze performance on a robotic platform to determine what defines an expert user. METHODS During three sessions, 21 subjects with a range of en...

This paper examines the action of GLN (R) on decomposable algebraic curvature tensors. The main result is that the structure group of a decomposable algebraic curvature tensor can only permute the subspaces into which the tensor decomposes: if the tensor decomposes into tensors Ri on Vi where V = ⊕k i=1 Vi, then for any matrix A in the structure group there exists a permutation σ such that A : ...

The global investigation of disasters in recent years shows that their number has increased annually and the number of affected people and costs of disasters are increasing

There are many combinatorial realizations of the crystals BΛ for the integral highest weight representations of b sln. One of the earliest and perhaps best known has as it’s underlying set certain `-tuples of partitions, where ` is the level of the representation. Another more recent model has as it’s underlying set certain cylindric plane partitions. Here we present a simple crystal isomorphis...
