BACKGROUND After traumatic brain injury, memory dysfunction is due in part to damage to the hippocampus. To study the molecular mechanisms of this selective vulnerability, the authors used laser capture microdissection of neurons stained with Fluoro-Jade to directly compare gene expression in injured (Fluoro-Jade-positive) and adjacent uninjured (Fluoro-Jade-negative) rat hippocampal neurons af...

Agent-oriented software engineering (AOSE) aims on reducing the complexity of multiagent system (MAS) development. Jade is a famous framework for implementing MAS in Java. This paper proposes the model-driven development environment of the Domain Specific Modeling Language for Multiagent Systems (Dsml4mas) as a visual development environment for Jade. We focus especially on how the synchronizat...

This article discusses how the gemstone jade mediates guanxi (‘personal relationships’), and trade in China. Outlining some affective, spiritual, moral somatic meanings efficacies of jade, especially as a gift, first materialities, cultural history ontology influence human interactions with, through, contemporary Secondly, presents more economically instrumental investments in, exchanges of, wh...

This paper summarizes the work done in the course of the Jade project, which deals with automatic debugging of Java programs. Besides a brief introduction to the Jade project, models developed to debug Java programs are evaluated and results are presented. Furthermore, insights gained from the results are discussed and topics for further research are identified.

The fluorescent agent Fluoro Jade was applied to cortical brain sections obtained from human patients at early postnatal ages and in patients with Alzheimer's disease, and from a Cebus apella monkey after mechanical lesioning of the cerebral cortex. Fluoro Jade labeled reactive astrocytes and early differentiating astroglial cells.
