Neurochemical Changes in the Mouse Hippocampus Underlying the Antidepressant Effect of Genetic Deletion of P2X7 Receptors. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Recent investigations have revealed that the genetic deletion of P2X7 receptors (P2rx7) results in an antidepressant phenotype in mice. However, the link between the deficiency of P2rx7 and changes in behavior has not yet been explored.

Understanding the influence of Malta litho‐structural features on the dynamics of nitrate transport in the vadose zone

open access: yesVadose Zone Journal, Volume 24, Issue 6, November/December 2025.
Abstract Coastal aquifers in the Mediterranean are increasingly stressed by climate change, intensive agriculture, and rising water demand. In Malta island, where groundwater is a key resource, nitrate contamination remains a persistent issue despite regulatory efforts and the designation of the islands as a Nitrate Vulnerable Zone.

Investigation of Wall Effect on Packing Structures and Purge Gas Flow Characteristics in Pebble Beds for Fusion Blanket by Combining Discrete Element Method and Computational Fluid Dynamics Simulation

open access: yesApplied Sciences
In a tritium-breeding blanket of a fusion reaction, helium, used as a tritium-purging gas, will purge the tritium breeder pebble beds to extract the tritium in blanket. The purge gas flow characteristics will affect the tritium extraction efficiency. The

Neutronics Design of Tritium Breeding Blanket for Fusion Experimental Reactor [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Nuclear Science and Technology, 1983
Detailed neutronics analysis on a tokamak fusion experimental reactor was performed. Neutronics responses of components in the vacuum vessel of a swimming pool type reactor were calculated by Monte Carlo method considering toroidal geometry, asymmetrical torus cross section, and neutron source distribution in plasma.

Intestinal inflammation induces glymphatic remodeling, priming early neurodegenerative signals in male mice

open access: yesAlzheimer's &Dementia, Volume 21, Issue 10, October 2025.
Abstract INTRODUCTION Inflammatory bowel disease triggers extraintestinal manifestations, including in the central nervous system (CNS). However, the direct impact of peripheral inflammation on the CNS is largely unknown. METHODS Using a mouse model of colitis with pain and anxiety‐like behavior, we investigated the intricate pathogenic link between ...

Diffusing alpha‐emitters radiation therapy: In vivo measurements of effective diffusion and clearance rates across multiple tumor types

open access: yesMedical Physics, Volume 52, Issue 10, October 2025.
Abstract Background Diffusing alpha‐emitters radiation therapy (“Alpha‐DaRT”) is a new modality that uses alpha particles to treat solid tumors. Alpha‐DaRT employs interstitial sources loaded with low activities of 224Ra$^{224}{\rm Ra}$, designed to release a chain of short‐lived alpha‐emitters, which diffuse over a few millimeters around each source ...

A comparison of methods to evaluate energy expenditure of incubating wandering albatrosses [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
Measurements of incubation energetics can vary depending on the method used to measure metabolism of an incubating bird. Therefore, we evaluated the energy expenditure of six male and four female wandering albatrosses (Diomedea exulans Linnaeus) using ...

Tritium Breeding Ceramics for Nuclear Fusion

open access: yes
Tritium and deuterium are widely considered as fuel for fusion power plants. While deuterium is quite abundant in nature, tritium needs to be “bred” from lithium in a neutron reaction. Hence, for the breeding blanket development of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) and the DEMOnstration power plant (DEMO), the development of ...

A h‐Adaptivity Strategy for Hybridizable Discontinuous Galerkin (HDG) Simulations of Fluid Transport Models in Tokamak Plasma

open access: yesInternational Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, Volume 126, Issue 17, 15 September 2025.
ABSTRACT The highly anisotropic, multi‐scale nature of fusion plasma simulations in tokamaks, combined with the complexity in the geometries of plasma‐facing components and magnetic equilibrium, challenges numerical schemes. They therefore require the development of advanced numerical techniques to enhance computational efficiency and enable codes to ...
