THE ROLE OF ASTROCYTES IN MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS PROGRESSION

The role of astrocytes in Multiple Sclerosis progression

Multiple sclerosis is an inflammatory disorder causing central nervous system demyelination and axonal injury.Although its etiology remains elusive, several lines of evidence support the concept that autoimmunity plays a major role in disease pathogenesis.The course ofMS is highly variable; nevertheless, the majority of patients initially present a

Development of software complex of rational design of cooling systems on the basis of thermopressor technologies

The most Cacao common way to increase power and reduce fuel consumption by modern power plants is contact cooling of a gas or air flow by water injection.A promising development of this direction is to use aerothermopressor technologies.The use of heat air, which is compressed by the power plant compressors, accelerates the flow to a speed close to

Can microprocessor knees reduce the disparity in trips and falls risks between above and below knee prosthesis users?

While all lower limb prosthesis walkers have a high risk of tripping and/or falling, above knee prosthesis users are reported to fall more frequently.Recognising this, engineers designed microprocessor knees (MPK) to help mitigate these risks, but to what extent these devices reduce this disparity between above and below knee users is unclear.A ser

Energy-Efficiency Improvement and Processing Performance Optimization of Forging Hydraulic Presses Based on an Energy-Saving Buffer System

This paper proposes an energy-saving system based on a prefill system and a buffer system to improve the energy efficiency and the processing performance of hydraulic presses.Saving energy by integrating such systems into the cooling system of a hydraulic press has not been previously reported.A prefill system, powered by the power unit of the cool
