Abstract The lifelong acquisition of cognitive skills shapes the biology of the brain.However, there are critical periods for the best use of the brain to process the acquired information.Objectives: To discuss the critical period of cognitive acquisition, the concept of cognitive reserve and the HAROLD (Hemispheric Asymmetry Reduction in Older adu
The technological advance of drone technology has augmented the existing capabilities of flying vehicles rendering them a valuable asset of the modern society.As more drones are expected to occupy the airspace in the near future, security-related incidents, either malicious acts or accidents, will increase as well.The forensics analysis of a Servin
The regulation of cellular zinc uptake is a key process in the overall mechanism governing mammalian zinc homeostasis and how zinc participates in cellular functions.We analyzed the zinc transporters of the Zip family in both the brain and liver of zinc-deficient animals and found a large, significant increase in Zip10 expression.Additionally, Zip1
Although inherently fertile, tropical soils rapidly degrade soon after cultivation.The period of time for which crops, mulch, compost, and manure provide nutrients and maintain mineral fertilizers in the soil is relatively short.Biochar, on the other hand, has the potential to maintain soil fertility and sequester carbon for hundreds or even thousa
Abstract Monitoring intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) in critical care patients is crucial for preventing intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) and abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS), with their severe consequences.The muscle contraction sensor (MC) introduced in this study offers a novel, non-invasive method with promising accuracy based on previous f
