Neurofibromatosis 2 (NF2) is a rare tumor suppressor syndrome that manifests with multiple schwannomas and meningiomas.There are no effective drug therapies for these benign tumors and conventional therapies have limited efficacy.Various model systems have been created and several drug targets have been implicated in Balloons Mini Foil NF2-driven t
Quality of a fished resource: Assessing spatial and temporal dynamics.
Understanding spatio-temporal variability in the demography of harvested species is essential to improve sustainability, especially if there is large geographic variation in demography.Reproductive patterns commonly vary spatially, which is particularly important for management of "roe"-based fisheries, since profits depend on both the number and r
Antiinflammatory and analgesic action of polar lipids of maral antlers and peat in experimental inflammation
In experimental acute exudative inflammation, caused by Difco agar injection in mice hind leg, lipids derived from maral antlers and peat decreased the leg inflammatory edema and prolonged the pain reaction latent period; in analogous model in rats prevented the edema progression.In model of proliferative inflammation lipids reduced BIO COENZ P5P B
The required acoustic parameters simplification of invisibility cloaks and concentrators using the impedance-tunable coordinate transformation
Abstract Transformation acoustics, as an unconventional theory, provides a powerful tool to design various kinds of acoustic devices with excellent functionalities.However, the required ideal parameters, which are prescribed by the method, are both complex and hard to implement-even using acoustic metamaterials.Furthermore, simplified parameter mat
