Transcranial Ultrasound Stimulation Reverses Behavior Changes and the Expression of Calcium-Binding Protein in a Rodent Model of Schizophrenia
Cognitive dysfunctions are a core feature of schizophrenia that may be linked to abnormalities in gamma-aminobutyric-acid (GABA)ergic neurons. Traditional antipsychotics show poor efficacy in treating cognitiv...

Influence of Nano-Structured Silanols on the Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of A4047 and A359 Aluminum Casting Alloys
Minor alloying elements present in aluminum silicon-based casting alloys, such as sodium, strontium, or boron–titanium, could eventually affect the alloy’s microstructure and hence its mechanical properties. H...

The use of friction-stir technology to modify the surfaces of AM60B magnesium die castings
These experiments were done to evaluate the feasibility of locally modifying the surface properties of magnesium alloys with friction-stir processing. The magnesium alloy used for the study was high-pressure d...

Plasticity of brittle epoxy resins during debonding failures
A remarkably high degree of plasticity in brittle epoxies during debonding failures is reported. The plasticity is exhibited by the presence of ridges on the debonded surfaces having a width and height above t...

Similarities in the fracture surface features of borosilicate and polymer glasses
Considerable similarity exists between the features on the fracture surfaces of a borosilicate glass and those on the fracture surfaces of polymer thermoset glasses like epoxies and vinyl esters. These feature...

Fractographic study of transverse cracks in a fibre composite
Transverse fracture of unidirectional fibre composites was studied in a model glass/epoxy composite in which 1 mm-diameter rods had been used in place of fibres. The fracture surface resulting from transverse ...
