Currently, we have several effective treatments for smoking cessation including pharmacotherapy, self-help materials, counseling and psychological treatments, which are the first choice in the therapeutic approach of nicotine dependence (Becoña, Miguez, López, & Fernández del Río 2010; Fiore et al, 2008; HartmannBoyce, Stead, Lancaster and Cahill, 2013; Patnode et al, 2015; Schlam and Baker, 20...

Nanocomposites made of Carbon Nanotube (CNT) bundles have attracted researchers’ attention due to their unusual properties such as: light weight, flexibility and stiffness.  In this paper, the effects of straight and rope-shaped bundles on nanocomposite effective mechanical properties are investigated.  First, FEA models are created consisting of CNTs with different shapes of straight and rope-...

In the hippocampus ingrowing afferents terminate in specific layers. Lamina-specific fiber termination also develops in organotypic slice cultures suggesting the preservation of specific laminar recognition cues for distinct fiber systems under these in vitro conditions (Yamamoto et al., 1992; Yamamoto et al., 1999; Frotscher and Heimrich, 1993; Li et al., 1993; Li et al., 1994; Li et al., 1995...

—Anthropogenic alterations to lotic systems are often implicated in global declines among stream-dwelling fishes. A primary step toward mediating fish declines is improving our understanding of species–environment relationships; unfortunately, such information is limited. The goal of this study was to assess relationships between fish communities and environmental variables in a relatively inta...
