A novel application of pulmonary transit time to differentiate between benign and malignant pulmonary nodules using myocardial contrast echocardiography
Malignant pulmonary nodules (PNs) are often accompanied by vascular dilatation and structural abnormalities. Pulmonary transit time (PTT) measurement by contrast echocardiograghy has used to assess the cardiop...

Systemic immunization with altered myelin basic protein peptide produces sustained antidepressant-like effects
Immune dysregulation, specifically of inflammatory processes, has been linked to behavioral symptoms of depression in both human and rodent studies. Here, we evaluated the antidepressant effects of immunizatio...

PML and CFS-PML boundary conditions for a mesh-free finite difference solution of the elastic wave equation
Mesh-free finite difference (FD) methods can improve the geometric flexibility of modeling without the need for lattice map** or complex meshing process. Radial-basis-function-generated FD is among the most ...

Nonlinear Rayleigh wave inversion based on the shuffled frog-lea** algorithm
At present, near-surface shear wave velocities are mainly calculated through Rayleigh wave dispersion-curve inversions in engineering surface investigations, but the required calculations pose a highly nonline...

EphB2 in the Medial Prefrontal Cortex Regulates Vulnerability to Stress
The ephrin B2 (EphB2) receptor is a tyrosine kinase receptor that is associated with synaptic development and maturation. It has recently been implicated in cognitive deficits and anxiety. However, still unkno...

Open AccessEpigenetic modification of PKMζ rescues aging-related cognitive impairment
Cognition is impacted by aging. However, the mechanisms that underlie aging-associated cognitive impairment are unclear. Here we showed that cognitive decline in aged rats was associated with changes in DNA me...

Wide-angle incidence and P-wave transmission
Polarity reversals may occur to transmitted P waves if the incidence angle is greater than the critical incidence angle. We analyze the characteristics of reflection and transmission coefficients under the con...

Reservoir time-lapse variations and coda wave interferometry
Coda waves are multiply scattered waves that arrive much later than the major waves. Small seismic velocity variations are observed in reservoirs because of small variations in reservoir properties, which affe...
