Here, we show that a small-molecule activator of telomerase (TA-65) purified from the root of Astragalus membranaceus is capable of increasing average telomere length and decreasing the percentage of critically short telomeres and of DNA damage in haploinsufficient mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) that harbor critically short telomeres and a single copy of the telomerase RNA Terc gene (G3 Ter...

TA, = 4 Two-layerADP, Conclusion: Our experimental results prove that the two-layer ADP scheme improves the PSNR of the received video sequence up to 7dB in the presence of packet losses during ATM transmission. Moreover, since the ADP strategy can adapt to the actual network traffic conditions, it is capable of efficiently transmitting video and, more generally, multimedia signals over ATM net...

Hippocampal networks are particularly susceptible to dysfunction in many neurodegenerative diseases and neuropsychiatric disorders including Alzheimer's disease, Lewy body dementia, and schizophrenia. CA1, a major output region of the hippocampus, receives glutamatergic input from both hippocampal CA3 and entorhinal cortex, via the Schaffer collateral (SC) and temporoammonic (TA) pathways, resp...

Tantalum (Ta) metal is receiving increasing interest as biomaterial for load-bearing orthopedic applications and the synthetic properties of Ta can be tailored by altering its grain structures. This study evaluates the capability of sliding friction treatment (SFT) technique to modulate the comprehensive performances of pure Ta. Specifically, novel nanocrystalline (NC) surface with extremely sm...

UNLABELLED Postpartum depression impacts up to 15% of Canadian women following childbirth. Remarkably, many women suffering from this disorder do not receive appropriate treatment. The aim of this study was to conduct a parallel-group randomized controlled trial to determine the efficacy of Therapist-Assisted Internet-delivered Cognitive Behavior Therapy (TA-ICBT) for the treatment of postpartu...

The objective of this study is to determine the effects coupled deformation and irradiation extremes on Ta phase evolution in Cu-10at.%Ta nanocomposite. Heterophase nanocomposites with positive heat mixing offer exceptional mechanical properties, high temperature performance, tolerance. Here, we consider cooperative stability using transmission electron microscopy mapping during interrupted sit...

Abstracts The addition of polyphenols to ice cream mix has been shown cause a decrease in melting rate that cream, although the mechanisms this effect are not well understood. To better understand phenomenon, objective study was effects polyphenol, tannic acid (TA), on dairy cream. TA added at 0.75%, 1.5% and 3% (wt/wt) concentrations. An increase complex viscosity seen as TA% increased. pH pro...

To fabricate a thermally stable optical filter in the mid-infrared (MIR) region, plasmonic metal disk array (PMDA) using tantalum (Ta) was proposed, and performance compared with that of conventional silver (Ag)-based PMDAs. A finite-difference time-domain method utilized to systematically analyze effects geometric configuration constituent materials on properties PMDA filters periodic hexagona...

The airborne telemetry environment presents unique challenges to end-to-end communications due to the highly dynamic topology and time-varying connectivity of high-velocity wireless nodes. The AeroTP transport protocol uses multiple reliability modes to trade off end-to-end reliability and efficiency as appropriate for different categories of telemetry data. Based on the architecture previously...
