Clinical and pathomorphological parameters of brain death: from the origins of the concept to its use in organ transplantation by V. O. Tumanskyi, L. M. Tumanska

“…It has been established that the main criterion for the development of human biological death, which determines irreversible cardiac arrest and the impossibility of restoring spontaneous respiration, are irreversible destructive changes in the nuclei of the pons and medulla oblongata, which make up the cardio-respiratory center that regulates heart rate, vascular tone and blood pressure, and generating rhythm and breathing patterns. …”

Some aspects of biology and fishery of walleye pollock <i>Theragra chalcogramma</i> in the southwestern Chukchi Sea relative to the size and age structure by A. V. Buslov, E. E. Ovsyannikov

“…However, the backward migration is doubtful; the pollock, once migrated to the Chukchi Sea, remain in this new habitat, as could be seen from the age-length dependence for a part of the stock distinguished by lower growth rate because of dwelling in severe conditions of this area. …”

Utilization of shrimp head powder to enhance color performance and growth of multicolor betta fish (Betta splendens) by Andri Iskandar, Fauzan Arya Maulana, Hendriana Andri, Kusumanti Ima, Permatasari Sheny, Wahyudi Imam Tri

“…The research procedure included the preparation of shrimp head meal, mixing feed with TKU, fish rearing, and observation of changes in color brightness, weight and length growth, survival rate, and water quality. The results showed that the utilization of shrimp head meal supplemented into the feed improved the performance of brightness and color patterns in multi-colored cupang fish, including length gain during the treatment, with optimum results shown in the 10% TKU treatment.…”

Time-varying spectral power of resting-state fMRI networks reveal cross-frequency dependence in dynamic connectivity. by Maziar Yaesoubi, Robyn L Miller, Vince D Calhoun

“…Despite high spatial resolution, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) suffers from low temporal resolution due to modulation with slow-varying hemodynamic response function (HRF) and also relatively low sampling rate. This limits the range of detectable frequency bands in fMRI and consequently there has been no evidence of cross-frequency dependence in fMRI data. …”
