Electroconvulsive shock and transcranial magnetic stimulation do not alter the survival or spine density of adult-born striatal neurons. by Tara Gaertner, Tian Rui Zhang, Baran Askari, Fidel Vila-Rodriguez, Jason S Snyder

“…A handful of studies have also investigated adult neurogenesis in other brain regions, but relatively little is known about the properties of neurons added to non-canonical areas. One such region is the striatum. Adult-born striatal neurons have been described in both rodents and humans, but the regulation of these neurons is poorly understood. …”

The Image of Central European Immigrant in Popular Fiction and Its Adaptations: A Case Study of the Detective Murdoch/Murdoch Mysteries Series by Biljana Oklopcic

“…Although appealing to a great number of readers, this limited repertory of (stereotypical) characters, plots, and settings is founded on a canonized discourse, resting on a cultural and social personification—a description, a code, a projection, which legitimizes and authorizes the interpretation of culture and nature, masculinity and femininity, superiority and inferiority, power and subordination, therefore reflecting specific cultures’ interests, values, beliefs, and tensions, and implicitly or explicitly providing insights into specific cultures’ anxieties and aspirations. …”

Travelogs of Journeys to Lithuania in Early 15th–19th Century: The Problem of Egodocumentality and Typology by Arvydas Pacevičius

“…Travel accounts were created on the basis of the worldview prevailing in the society of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, which formed a canon different from the European one. Noteworthy are the hitherto understudied egodocumentary marginalia, diaries in calendars that reflect the culture of travel in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. …”

Compact scheme with two-sided estimates for nonlinear convection-diffusion-reaction equations by Chinedu Nwaigwe

“…Transport coefficients are evaluated explicitly in time while different spatial operators are discretized either implicitly or explicitly such that positivity of canonical form is guaranteed. This led to a second-order scheme with all the above desirable properties. …”

Morphological Variation and Ecological Structure of Iroko (Milicia excelsa Welw. C.C. Berg) Populations across Different Biogeographical Zones in Benin by Christine Ouinsavi, Nestor Sokpon

“…In the current study, morphological variation and ecological structure of M. excelsa populations were assessed in Benin using transect sampling method and multivariate analyses including principal component, cluster and canonical discriminant analyses. On the basis of morphological parameters, M. excelsa individuals and populations were clustered into four and discrimination of groups indicated that most of variations were highly related to edaphic factors and annual rainfall. …”

Plasticity of Neuron-Glial Transmission: Equipping Glia for Long-Term Integration of Network Activity by Wayne Croft, Katharine L. Dobson, Tomas C. Bellamy

“…We argue that induction of glial plasticity typically requires repetitive neuronal firing over long time periods (minutes-hours) rather than the short-lived, stereotyped trigger typical of canonical long-term potentiation. We speculate that this equips glia with a mechanism for monitoring average firing rates in the synaptic network, which is suited to the longer term roles proposed for astrocytes in neurophysiology.…”

Monasterium, cella, abbatia… Enquête sur les différents termes désignant les communautés religieuses au haut Moyen Âge (ve-milieu ixe siècle) et leur signification by Michèle Gaillard

“…This study deals with a certain number of words (abbatia, casa, cella, cellula, claustrum, coenobium, congregatio, conventum, monasterium, xenodochium) that refer to religious communities regardless of the fact that they are monasteries or canonical houses. It is possible to distinguish a series of terms whose meanings obviously did not change from the fifth to the ninth century : the semantic field covered by the terms monasterium and coenobium ; polysemic words like cella and cellula, designating not only the monastery, but also its rooms ; casa, a humble term rarely used to describe a monastery. …”

Castas Donas: Cónegas Regrantes de Santo Agostinho em Portugal no período medieval by Saul António Gomes

“…Depois de se expor o estado da arte relativamente à bibliografia e historiografia sobre movimentos monásticos femininos no Portugal medievo, passa-se à elucidação geral do modelo espiritual e institucional canonical regrante feminino, para, de seguida, se entrar numa proposta de exploração e valorização de um tipo privilegiado de informação arquivística - os obituários de canónicas regrantes - para a elucidação das comunidades de sorores de regra agostiniana no país. …”

ESTRATOS SUMERGIDOS Y LA CONDICIÓN DEL CONOCIMIENTO EN AMÉRICA LATINA1,2 by Gisela Heffes

“…Mientras Hoyos apela a una desalegorización (es decir, a una «literalización») de un número de obras importantes dentro del canon latinoamericano, DeLoughrey invita a reconsiderar la alegoría como una manera de simbolizar la «disyunción percibida entre los humanos y el planeta, entre nuestra “especie” y una “naturaleza” que es externa y dinámica».…”

Protease-activated receptors in vascular smooth muscle cells: a bridge between thrombo-inflammation and vascular remodelling by Anxhela Habibi, Wolfram Ruf, Leon Schurgers

“…Abstract Coagulation factors are responsible for blood clot formation yet have also non-canonical functions as signalling molecules. In this context, they can activate protease-activated receptors (PARs) ubiquitously expressed in the vasculature. …”

Diversity of Woodland Communities and Plant Species along an Altitudinal Gradient in the Guancen Mountains, China by Dongping Meng, Jin-Tun Zhang, Min Li

“…To investigate the variation of woodland communities, a Two-Way Indicator Species Analysis (TWINSPAN) and a Canonical Correspondence Analysis (CCA) were conducted, while species diversity indices were used to analyse the relationships between species diversity and environmental variables in this study. …”

Ecological filters shape arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal communities in the rhizosphere of secondary vegetation species in a temperate forest. by Yasmin Vázquez-Santos, Silvia Castillo-Argüero, Francisco Javier Espinosa-García, Noé Manuel Montaño, Yuriana Martínez-Orea, Laura V Hernández-Cuevas

“…This assembly consisted of 61 AMF species, with different β-diversity values among plant species across seasons and altitudes. Canonical correspondence analysis revealed that AMF community composition is linked to OM and available P and N, with only a few AMF species co-occurring, while most do not. …”

Circuitry and Synaptic Dysfunction in Alzheimer’s Disease: A New Tau Hypothesis by Siddhartha Mondragón-Rodríguez, Humberto Salgado-Burgos, Fernando Peña-Ortega

“…For more than five decades, the field of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) has focused on two main hypotheses positing amyloid-beta (Aβ) and Tau phosphorylation (pTau) as key pathogenic mediators. In line with these canonical hypotheses, several groups around the world have shown that the synaptotoxicity in AD depends mainly on the increase in pTau levels. …”

Aquaporin-2 in the early stages of the adenine-induced chronic kidney disease model. by Lucas H Oronel, Maria Ortiz, Carolina Yarza, Sofía Gayone, Carlos Davio, Mónica Majowicz, Maria Florencia Albertoni Borghese

Designing cellulose based biochars for CO2 separation using molecular simulations by Behnoush Barzegar, Farzaneh Feyzi

“…Six biochars with densities ranging from 0.160 to 0.987 g/cm³ were prepared, and their performance in adsorbing CO2, CH4, and N2 gases, as well as CO2/CH4 and CO2/N2 gas mixtures, was evaluated using Grand Canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) simulations. The adsorption isotherms were fitted to the Dual-Site Langmuir (DSL) equation, and subsequently, the isosteric heat of adsorption, Gibbs free energy, and entropy changes were calculated. …”
