Setting aside the "lighthearted" side of this "Rostocker Debate," (12 minutes for each speech, one minute for each comment), I saw this as a good opportu
Flexural and Thermal Properties of Novel Energy Conservation Slotted Reinforced Concrete Beams
Conventional solid reinforced concrete (RC) beams were modified to slotted beams for consideration as thermal insulation structural components.The slotted beam consisted of Knife Rolls/Cases an outer and an inner beam, respectively, with a slot located near the middle of the beam along its width direction for filling thermal insulation material.Fle
Reappraisal of anatomical liver resection for hepatoblastoma in children
Background: The principle of hepatoblastoma (HB) treatment is complete resection.The removal Gift Card of tumor-bearing section(s) or hemiliver is widely accepted.However, neither the standardized anterior approach for right hepatectomy nor parenchymal sparing anatomical liver resection has been described for HB.Methods: We retrospectively reviewed

Repeated Blockade of NMDA Receptors during Adolescence Impairs Reversal Learning and Disrupts GABAergic Interneurons in Rat Medial Prefrontal Cortex
Adolescence is of particular significance to schizophrenia, since psychosis onset typically occurs in this critical period.Based on the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor hypofunction hypothesis of schizophrenia, in this study, we investigated whether and how repeated NMDA receptor blockade during adolescence would affect GABAergic interneurons i
