Adaptive re-use of historic buildings is a process of changing the original function of the historic buildings to another function that can optimise the use of existing historic buildings.The selection of appropriate new function is an important factor in determining the success of adaptive re-use of historic buildings.However, adaptive re-use work
Control of energy efficient belt conveyor gearless drummotor
There is a tendency for simplifying the construction of gears.Many manufacturers design gearless electric drives for power mechanisms like traction.Rejection of mechanical transmission and replacing obsolete induction motor with energy-efficient permanent magnet synchronous machine allow to increase electric drive reliability, reduce repair and som
An Improved Mesocotyl Elongation Assay for the Rapid Identification and Characterization of Strigolactone-Related Rice Mutants
Strigolactones (SLs) constitute an important class of plant hormones involved in diverse developmental activities in plant growth and host-parasite interaction.Although substantial progress has been made to understand this pathway, the mechanism of action is still elusive especially with its interaction with other phytohormones and downstream targe
Short-term exercise in aged Tg2576 mice alters neuroinflammation and improves cognition
Exercise is a treatment paradigm that can ameliorate cognitive dysfunction in Alzheimer disease (AD) and AD mouse models.Since exercise is also known to alter the peripheral immune response, one potential mechanism for the cognitive improvement following exercise may be by modulating the inflammatory repertoire in the central nervous system.We inve
