Soil Carbon Characteristics of a Fluvisol Affected by Aggregates from Two Tillage and Crop Regimes by Emmanuel Onweremadu, Frank Akamigbo, Chigozie Asiabaka

“…Aggregate size distribution was significantly (P < 0.05) influenced by tillage and crop type at 0 – 10 cm depth and soil carbon varied significantly (P < 0.05) with aggregate–size forms, tillage technique and crop species. Prediction of carbon behaviour in floodplain soils should take into consideration variability in ped forms, tillage method and crop types. …”

Comprehensive Insight of Neurodegenerative Diseases and The Role of Neurotoxin Agents — Glutamate by Hui-Min Yap, Kwan-Liang Lye, Loh Teng-Hern Tan

“…The receptor-mediated glutamate excitotoxicity involved excessive stimulation of glutamate receptors (GluRs) which lead to excessive ion calcium (Ca2+) influx and activates a cell death cascade involving the accumulation of mitochondrially generated reactive oxygen species (ROS). Studies showed excessive extracellular glutamate leads to nerve cell death via the activation of N-methyl-Daspartate (NMDA) receptors in the cases of trauma or stroke. …”
