Background Scores can assess the severity and course of disease and predict outcome in
an objective manner. This information is needed for proper risk assessment and stratification. …

Cortical information processing is under state-dependent control of subcortical neuromodulatory
systems. Although this modulatory effect is thought to be mediated mainly by slow …

Monazite U–Th–Pb geochronology of high-temperature and melt-bearing metamorphic rocks
sometimes produces a continuum of concordant ages (‘smear’) without well-defined age …

This paper describes the development of a concurrentmethodology for standard cell library
generation. Use of anovel physical design automation method enables a high degreeof …

Osteocytes are hypothesized to regulate bone remodeling guided by both biological and
mechanical stimuli. Morphology of the lacunar–canalicular network of osteocytes has been …

Recent trends in coping with embrittlement problems in reactor pressure vessels (RPVs)
show two main directions of development:(1) improvement of the vessel materials and (2) …

The fracture behaviour of two types of welds with microstructural inhomogeneity is discussed
using the concept of the specific energy γ pk . The relationship between the macroscopic …

A nonequilibrium occupation distribution relaxes towards the Fermi-Dirac distribution due to
electron-electron scattering even in finite Fermi systems. The dynamic evolution of this …

Increase of strength leads in general to material thickness reduction in structures. Besides
improved design methods not only tighter geometrical tolerances and better fabrication …

Calcium–calmodulin-dependent kinase II (CaMKII) has a long history of involvement in
synaptic plasticity, yet little focus has been given to potassium channels as CaMKII targets …
