Amlodipine (AD) is a calcium channel blocker that is mainly used in the treatment of hypertension and angina. However, latest findings have revealed that its efficacy is not only limited to the treatment of cardiovascular diseases as it has shown to possess antioxidant activity and plays an important role in apoptosis. Therefore, it is also employed in the treatment of cerebrovascular stroke, n...

In addition to findings from conventional magnetic resonance imaging, modern magnetic resonance imaging techniques have provided important information about tumor metabolism, in vivo metabolite formation, water molecule diffusion, microvascular density, and blood-brain barrier permeability, all of which have improved the in vivo diagnostic accuracy of this method in the evaluation of primary ce...

This review paper reports various concepts of the gun propulsion system to meet the goal of the futuristic hypervelocity projectiles. The nonconventional concepts, such as liquid gun propellant, rail gun, coil gun, electrothermal gun, electrothermal chemical gun along with conventional energetic solid gun propellant have been discussed. Even though muzzle velocity around 2000 m/s has been claim...

CD8 T cells expressing memory markers exist in naive mice and are thought to be of heterogeneous origin. It was recently reported that among such memory-phenotype (MP) CD8 T cells in naive mice, those expressing programmed death-1 (PD-1) had immune regulatory activity, but their origin and relationship with other regulatory CD8 T cell subsets remain unclear. In the current study, we examined de...

Chemists have a long-standing appreciation for the value of recorded information. Many of the early efforts to improve information-processing techniques were centered on chemical information problems. The preeminence of Chemical Abstracts as a secondary publication service was well established, but the control and effective use of other information resources were objects of much effort and inte...

The final goal of this project is to provide the US Navy with an increased capability of using Doppler radar observations in the detection and prediction of hazardous weather events that usually have a strong randomness in nature and affect the Navy operations, especially over oceans and in remote areas. By developing a high-resolution data assimilation capability that can effectively assimilat...
