Large and Small Dendritic Spines Serve Different Interacting Functions in Hippocampal Synaptic Plasticity and Homeostasis by Joshua J. W. Paulin, Peter Haslehurst, Alexander D. Fellows, Wenfei Liu, Joshua D. Jackson, Zelah Joel, Damian M. Cummings, Frances A. Edwards

“…But do all types of dendritic spines serve both of these apparently opposite functions? Using confocal microscopy in organotypic slices from mice expressing green fluorescent protein in hippocampal neurones, the size of individual spines along sections of dendrite has been tracked in response to application of tetraethylammonium. …”

Effect of Plantago major L. seed mucilage on physicochemical, rheological, textural and sensory properties of non-fat yogurt by Mojtaba Yousefi, Elham Khanniri, Nasim Khorshidian

“…Fortified yogurts with different concentrations of PSM exhibited lower whey loss compared to plain yogurts, while storage time had an adverse effect. The apparent viscosity and dynamic moduli (Gʹ, Gʺ) of samples enhanced with increasing levels of PSM and they were higher in yogurts containing PSM. …”

A Soft Computing Approach to Crack Detection and Impact Source Identification with Field-Programmable Gate Array Implementation by Arati M. Dixit, Harpreet Singh

“…The real-time nondestructive testing (NDT) for crack detection and impact source identification (CDISI) has attracted the researchers from diverse areas. This is apparent from the current work in the literature. CDISI has usually been performed by visual assessment of waveforms generated by a standard data acquisition system. …”

Prague présente-absente dans Das Schloss de Kafka by Lydie Parisse

“…La ville ainsi recomposée en deux espaces antagonistes – le village, le château – confronte le narrateur au mécanisme de l’illusion : le regard est impuissant à comprendre le réel qui se cache derrière des apparences trompeuses, au point que le paysage urbain devient la métaphore d’un itinéraire intérieur, une allégorie de la dépossession.…”

Kinetics of austenite formation during continuous heating in as-cast and as-annealed conditions in a low carbon steel by Antonio Oliver-Reynoso, Octavio Vázquez-Gómez, Francisco Reyes-Calderón, Héctor J Vergara-Hernández, Martín Herrejón-Escutia, Miguel I Dávila-Pérez, Edgar López-Martínez

“…In the as–cast condition, a delay in austenite formation was observed, and a decrease in the transformation extent was associated with a higher transformation rate. The apparent activation energies for each stage of austenite formation were calculated using the Kissinger method, with the peak temperature at the point of maximum transformation rate as the criterion. …”
