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

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.

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

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 ...

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]
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
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 ...

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 ...
