Using AlN Coatings to Protect the Surface of AlGaAs/GaAs System Heterostructures from Interaction with Atmospheric Oxygen
Thin aluminum nitride (AlN) films have been synthesized by reactive ion–plasma sputtering (RIPS) and their properties have been studied in view of using this method for obtaining protective coatings on output ...

Macroprudential consolidation policy in interbank networks
Can consolidation policy be made consistent with macro-prudential supervision? In this study, we seek to provide new insights on this key-question using a network approach. We study how the resilience of a ban...

High-Temperature Thermoelectric Properties of (1 − x) SrTiO3 − (x) La1/3NbO3 Ceramic Solid Solution
Ceramics based on SrTiO3 are of growing interest as thermoelectric materials because of their high-temperature stability and non-toxicity. Substitution of La and Nb into the perovskite structure provides opportun...

Open AccessCannabinoid CB2 receptor (CB2R) stimulation delays rubrospinal mitochondrial-dependent degeneration and improves functional recovery after spinal cord hemisection by ERK1/2 inactivation
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a devastating condition of CNS that often results in severe functional impairments for which there are no restorative therapies. As in other CNS injuries, in addition to the effects...

Distinct regulation of nNOS and iNOS by CB2 receptor in remote delayed neurodegeneration
Hemicerebellectomy results in remote delayed degeneration of precerebellar neurons. We have reported that such a lesion induces type 2 cannabinoid receptor (CB2) expression in precerebellar neurons and that stimu...

Neoplastic myelopathies and traumatic spinal cord lesions: an Italian comparison of functional and neurological outcomes
Although neoplastic spinal cord injuries (NSCIs) constitute ∼25% of all non-traumatic spinal cord lesions, patients with such pathologies are seldom, if ever, admitted to specialized centers; further, their re...
