Matrix Metalloproteinase-2 Isoforms Differ within the Aortic Wall of Ascending Aortic Aneurysms Associated with Bicuspid Aortic Valve by Ramona Schmitt, Anke Tscheuschler, Philipp Laschinski, Philipp Discher, Jana Fuchs, Fabian A. Kari

“…Whereas the TAV group exhibited no significant differences in protein levels between the aneurysm’s anterior and posterior parts, the BAV group revealed significantly higher levels of Pro-MMP-2, total MMP-2, and TIMP-2 in the aneurysm’s posterior parts (mean Pro-MMP-2 200.52 arbitrary units (AU) versus 161.12 AU, p=0.007; mean total MMP-2 235.22 AU versus 193.68 AU, p=0.002; mean TIMP-2 26.90 ng/ml versus 25.36 ng/ml, p=0.009), whereas the other proteins did not differ significantly within the aortic wall. …”

Plasticity of the Dorsal “Spatial” Stream in Visually Deprived Individuals by Giulia Dormal, Franco Lepore, Olivier Collignon

“…., spatial/motion processing). Bringing together evidence from cataract-reversal individuals, early- and late-blind individuals and sight-recovery cases of long-standing blindness, we suggest that the dorsal “spatial” pathway is mostly plastic early in life and is then more resistant to subsequent experience once it is set, highlighting some limits of neuroplasticity.…”

Deployment scheme of WSN relay nodes based on artificial bee colony optimization by Kainan LIU, Xu HAN

“…In wireless sensor network(WSN),the relay node deployment performance is one of the main factors to affect network life.Aiming at the WSN with 3-demension high density,there is no existing relay node deployment schemes enhancing the network life efficiently with the constraints of hardware cost and network connectivity.Hence,a novel deployment scheme called artificial bee colony(ABC)-based relay node deployment scheme(ABC-RNDS)was proposed based on network-grid deployment method.In ABC-RNDS,double-layer topology was adopted to build WSN,which used minimum spanning tree to construct the backbone nodes of WSN,and applied ABC to extend the network lifetime by optimizing network parameters and constraining the number of relay nodes.The simulation results show that,compared to the traditional deployment scheme,ABC-RNDS can improve network lifetime significantly under constrains of cost and connectivity.…”

Verbalization of the concept of “hearing” in Slavic languages by Liudmyla Pedchenko

“…From another Slavic verb denoting auditory sensations – чути – the abstract name of auditory perception was not formed in Slavic languages, which seems to be connected with the semantic syncretism of the ascending verb, which can be used in relation to different perceptual modes (touch, smell, hearing, etc.) or act as an undifferentiated designation of sensation. …”

A CROSS LOOK AT THE ORGANIZATION'S COMMITMENT TO SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY. CASE OF A MINING COMPANY IN QUEBEC, CANADA by Marie-Pier CÔTÉ, Doina MURESANU

“…Thus, using an exploratory qualitative research method based on the case study, we were able to observe firstly that the integrative model that we designed represents a relevant tool for the analysis of CSR. What's more, the research results showed similarities between the vision of company managers and its employees on CSR, but also divergences, which leads us to conclude that additional efforts should be made by organizations in order to improve their management of social responsibility and make sure it is well known by its employees.…”
