In this article, we review and analyze different modes of exposure to ultrafine particles in
order to assess particle-induced inflammatory responses and the underlying mechanisms in …

Solvent-free P(EO) 20 LiTFSI+PYR 14 TFSI polymer electrolyte films with PYR 14 + /Li + mole
ratios ranging from 0.96 to 3.22 were prepared by hot-pressing mixtures composed of PEO…

Lysosomes are important cytoplasmic organelles whose critical functions in cells are increasingly
being understood. In particular, despite the long-standing accepted concept about the …

In the post-genome era, the mouse will have a major role as a model system for functional
genome analysis. This requires a large number of mutants similar to the collections available …

Concussive head injury opens a temporary window of brain vulnerability due to the impairment
of cellular energetic metabolism. As experimentally demonstrated, a second mild injury …

Histological studies have suggested differing involvement of the hippocampal subfields in
ageing and in Alzheimer's disease. The aim of this study was to assess in vivo local …

Background— No information is available on the long-term results of radial artery (RA) grafts
used as coronary artery bypass conduits. Methods and Results— In this report, we describe …

… [30]:(2) σ i = c i z i 2 F 2 D i R T where c i is the molar concentration of the ion species i, z i
is the ion valence, F is the Faraday constant and R is the gas constant. The Stokes–Einstein …

In this work is described an improved synthesis of hydrophobic room-temperature ionic
liquids (RTIL) composed of-methyl--alkylpyrrolidinium (or piperidinium) cations and (…

Several types of lithium ion conducting polymer electrolytes have been synthesized by hot-pressing
homogeneous mix-tures of the components, namely, poly (ethylene oxide)(PEO) as …
