Resting-State Connectivity of the Left Frontal Cortex to the Default Mode and Dorsal Attention Network Supports Reserve in Mild Cognitive Impairment [PDF]
Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2017 Reserve refers to the phenomenon of relatively preserved cognition in disproportion to the extent of neuropathology, e.g., in Alzheimer’s disease. A putative functional neural substrate underlying reserve is global functional connectivity of the left ...

An investigation on the performance of 1200 kg/m3 lightweight foamed concrete incorporated with calcium stearate [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2022 Lightweight foamed concrete (LFC) is normally used on the exterior of buildings such as walls and roof slabs, which causes it to be often exposed to natural weathering such as rain.
