زمینه و هدف: بیماری آلزایمر با کاهش نورون‌ها در چندین منطقة مهم برای حافظه یادگیری مغز، ‌به‌ویژه هیپوکامپ مرتبط است. اختلال مغزی پیشرونده‌ای است که به‌صورت تدریجی سبب از بین رفتن حافظه، توانایی آموختن برقراری رابطه دیگران می‌شود. پژوهشگران مشاهدة میزان ابتلای یک‌ونیم برابری افراد دیابتی به آلزایمر، این دیدگاه را ممکن نشان‌دهندة نوع خاصی دیابت مغز باشد، مطرح کرده‌اند؛ هرچند پذیرش تقسیم‌بندی عنوا...

East Asian summer monsoon (EASM) precipitation received by northern China over the past 800 thousand years (ky) is characterized by dominant 100-ky periodicity, mainly attributed to CO2 and Northern Hemisphere insolation-driven ice sheet forcing. We established an EASM record in the Late Miocene from lacustrine sediments in the Qaidam Basin, northern China, which appears to exhibit a dominant 1...

We explore the extent to which string theories with higher-level gauge symmetries and non-standard hypercharge normalizations can reconcile the discrepancy between the string unification scale and the GUT scale extrapolated from the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). We determine the phenomenologically allowed regions of (kY , k2, k3) parameter space, and investigate the proposal tha...

The mitochondrial DNA diversity of 62 human population samples was examined for potential signals of population expansions. Stepwise expansion times were estimated by taking into account heterogeneity of mutation rates among sites. Assuming an mtDNA divergence rate of 33% per million years, most populations show signals of Pleistocene expansions at around 70,000 years (70 KY) ago in Africa and ...

In this paper, we study one class of Ky Fan-type inequalities, which has ties with the original Ky Fan inequality. Our result extends the known ones.
