A Novel Sensitive Method of Detecting Mnemonic Decline in Mouse Model of Alzheimer's Disease
(2011-01-11)
Deficits in transferring generalized information of past learning to new problems are related to mild hippocampal atrophy in the elderly and appear to be an early marker of age-related cognitive decline. This inability to ...
Improvement in the Mechanical Properties of B-Staged Carbon Nanotube/Epoxy Based Thin Film Systems
(2011-01-11)
Polymeric systems have been the subject of tremendous interest to the aerospace
industry due to their high strength per weight ratio but have not seen the use projected
due to their poor compression after impact strength, ...
Adaptation of Microvasculature to Pulsatility
(2013-09-24)
Continuous-flow left-ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation leads to increased peripheral resistance and development of arteriovenous malformations. These comorbidities have resisted mechanistic explanation, because ...
