In the brain of patients with multiple sclerosis, activated microglia/macrophages appear in active lesions and in normal appearing white matter.However, whether they play a beneficial or a detrimental role in the development of the pathology remains a controversial issue.The production of pro-inflammatory molecules by chronically activated microgli
Stochastic Bernstein (SB) approximation can tackle the problem of baseline drift correction of instrumentation data.This is demonstrated for spectral data: matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF) data.Two SB schemes for removing the baseline drift are presented: iterative miss to mrs cookie and direc
In this paper, a frequency switchable antenna design using genetic algorithms (GAs) for dual band WiMAX (3.5GHz) and WLAN (5.2GHz) applications is proposed.The area of the radiating patch magic pants stoko element is divided into 2 mm square cells, with each cell assigned a conducting or non-conducting characteristic.To realize frequency reconfigur
Here we show that central administration of pyroglutamylated arginine-phenylamine-amide peptide (QRFP/26RFa) increases both food intake and locomotor activity, without any significant effect on energy expenditure, thermogenesis or reward.Germline knock out of either of the mouse QRFP receptor orthologs, Gpr103a and Gpr103b, did not produce a metabo
