ROMP-based biorenewable polymers of norbornene modified with triglycerides or esters from natural buriti oil
Two novel monomers, norbornenyl buriti olein (NBO) and norbornenyl buriti ester (NB-FAME), were synthesized by reactions of 5-norbornene-2-carboxylic acid with triglycerides and with methyl esters from buriti ...

Open AccessCytokine expression profiles of immune imbalance in post-mononucleosis chronic fatigue
As Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) has been known to follow Epstein-Bar virus (EBV) and other systemic infections; our objective was to describe differences in immune activation in post-infective CFS (PI-CFS) p...

SWI Brain Vessel Change Coincident with fMRI Activation
fMRI has been extensively used for the last ten years, however it is not fully understood what it really measures. To map brain function, fMRI is known to make use of a chain of physiological events, from neur...
