EARLY LIFE STRESS AND METABOLIC PLASTICITY OF BRAIN CELLS: IMPACT ON NEUROGENESIS AND ANGIOGENESIS


Design, Analysis, and Evaluation of a Compact Electromagnetic Energy Harvester from Water Flow for Remote Sensors

This paper develops an electromagnetic energy harvester, which can generate small-scale electricity from non-directional water flow in oceans or rivers for remote sensors.The energy harvester integrates a Tesla disk turbine, a miniature axial-flux permanent magnet generator, and a ring cover with symmetrical grooves which are utilized to rectify fl

Investigating the migrant mortality advantage at the intersections of social stratification in Switzerland: The role of vulnerability

Background: Migrant mortality advantage has been widely studied in Western countries, but little attention has been paid to how social factors interact to increase or diminish risks of death.Socioeconomic factors are indeed widely used in regression models but mostly to define, ceteris paribus, whether migrants have a higher propensity to die than

Electrostatic Repulsion of Dust from Planetary Surfaces

Surfaces of planetary bodies can have strong electric fields, subjecting conductive grains to repulsive electrostatic forces.This has been proposed as a mechanism to eject grains from the ground.To quantify this process, we study millimeter-sized basalt aggregates consisting of micrometer constituents exposed to an electric here field in drop-tower
