Recycling of PET Post-consumer Bottles: Effect of the Re-extrusion Process on the Structure, Thermal Properties, and Apparent Activation Energy [PDF]
In this work, post-consumer poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) bottles were gathered, separated from other materials, and re-extruded. In order to evaluate the effect of re-extrusion on the structure of PET, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy was ...

Of Mice, Dirty Mice, and Men: Using Mice To Understand Human Immunology [PDF]
Abstract Mouse models have enabled breakthroughs in our understanding of the immune system, but it has become increasingly popular to emphasize their shortcomings when translating observations to humans. This review provides a brief summary of mouse natural history, husbandry, and the pros and cons of pursuing basic research in mice ...

An entropy-based method to measure phase-locking between LFP and spikes
Phase-locking between local field potential and spikes has been widely investigated through neurophysiological analysis. Two indices most frequently adopted traditionally include the mean resultant length and p of the Rayleigh test.

Bi-objective modeling approach for repairing multiple feature infrastructure systems [PDF]
A bi-objective decision aid model for planning long-term maintenance of infrastructure systems is presented, oriented to interventions on their constituent elements, with two upgrade levels possible for each element (partial/full repairs). The model aims
