Motoneurons require neurotrophic factors for their survival and axonal projection during
development, as well as nerve regeneration. By using the axotomy-induced neuronal death …

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Dietary therapy using phytosterols can reinforce statin treatment;
however the value of a low-dose combination of those agents remains to be investigated. …

We describe the case of a 54-year-old woman with a clinical diagnosis of Churg-Strauss
syndrome (CSS). The patient had a fever of unknown origin, severe headache, progressing left …

Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a principal cause of mortality and morbidity in industrial
countries. Several studies have shown dietary intervention, such as a reduction of lipid intake …

TiC coatings were deposited onto graphite and molybdenum substrates by an electron beam
evaporation method. A titanium film 1000–10000 Å thick was evaporated onto the graphite …

Free-standing diamond films are prepared by CVD technique to examine their properties
directly. The products have a variety of shapes such as plates, tubes and curved diaphragms. …

Numerical analysis with the Boundary Element Method (BEM) has been used more and more
in various engineering fields in recent years. In numerical techniques, however, there are …

This study is an experimental investigation of TiC coatings on Mo substrate by means of a
reactive rf sputtering in the presence of CH 4 and a chemical reaction with interdiffusion in the …

The ternary AlFePd system belongs to the class of quasicrystal-forming systems. The formation
of an icosahedral phase was first discussed for a composition of Al70Fe20Pd10, 1) and …

Diamond particles were synthesized by a filament assisted CO 2 laser induced CVD technique
on a silicon substrate in a hydrogen environment. The deposition was carried out using a …
