Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease with short life expectancy and no effective therapy.We previously identified upregulated miR-124 in NSC-34-motor neurons (MNs) expressing human SOD1-G93A (mSOD1) and established its implication in mSOD1 MN degeneration and glial cell activation.When anti-miR-124-treated mSOD1 MN (pr
Development and Application of Reverse Lancing Equipment for the Secondary Side of Steam Generator in Nuclear Power Plants
It is absolutely necessary to expand high pressure lancing area in order to ensure the operation safety of steam generator transfer heat tubes in nuclear power plants.Considering the structure at the secondary Toners side of the steam generator, and in compliance with the guidelines of reducing cost and increasing the compatibility, the reverse lan
Personality factors and pandemic-related behaviors
PurposeThe purpose of the current study was to determine whether there are personality differences (the HEXACO Swim Shirts model, narcissism, sadism, compassion for others) in mask-wearing, social distancing, and hoarding.FindingsThose who always wore masks were significantly higher in compassion for others and significantly lower in sadism compare
Vernacular Languages and Cultures in Rural Development: Theoretical Discourse and Some Examples
The role of language and culture in rural development projects is investigated.Examples taken from Smoothing Treatment the context of Northern Iran, the significance of which is not confined to its agricultural and forestry resources and extends beyond national borders, are presented.A starting point of the analysis is an appreciation of diversity,
Gauge-fixing local H symmetry in supergravities
Abstract We discuss known maximal D-dimensional supergravities of two types: type I with G/H coset spaces and type II derived by compactification from higher dimensions without dualization, these have less manifest symmetries.In 4D and 6D in type I models we perform explicit gauge-fixing of local H symmetries in unitary Swim Shirts gauges: symmetri
