Students and instant messaging: a survey of current use and demands for higher education [PDF]
Instant messaging (IM) is the term used to describe the technology through which ‘users can set up a list of partners who will be able to receive notes that pop up on their screens the moment one of them writes and hits the send button’.

Arsenic Trioxide Modulates the Central Snail Neuron Action Potential
The electropharmacological effect of arsenic trioxide (As2O3) is unknown. The present study investigated the effects of As2O3 on spontaneous neuronal impulse activity. Methods: Intracellular recordings and the two-electrode voltage clamp method were used

Artificial Signal Transduction
Communication between and inside cells as well as their response to external stimuli relies on elaborated systems of signal transduction. They all require a directional transmission across membranes, often realized by primary messenger docking onto ...
