Dihydromyricetin and Salvianolic acid B inhibit alpha-synuclein aggregation and enhance chaperone-mediated autophagy by Jia-Zhen Wu (6844793)

“…Cells were co-transfected with a C-terminal modified α-synuclein (SynT) and synphilin-1, and then treated with DHM (10 μM) and Sal B (50 μM) 16 hours after transfection; levels of α-synuclein aggregation decreased significantly (68% for DHM and 75% for Sal B). …”

Performance Analysis of FSO Communications With Diversity Methods by Abou-Rjeily, Chadi

“…This paper targets the performance analysis of multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) point-to-point single-aperture relay-assisted and MIMO relay-assisted free-space optical (FSO) communications. The objective of the paper is to compare the different FSO diversity methods via an outage probability analysis over gamma-gamma turbulence channels in the case of independent fading among the different apertures of the communicating nodes. …”

Phase state of secondary organic aerosol in chamber photo-oxidation of mixed precursors by Yu Wang (12152)

“…Although less important than RH and MR_org/inorg, the SOA composition plays a second-order role, with differences in the liquid-to-nonliquid transition at moderate MR_org/inorg of ∼ 1 observed between biogenic-only (anthropogenic-free) and anthropogenic-containing VOC systems. Considering the combining role of the RH and chemical composition in aerosol phase state, the BF decreased monotonically with increasing hygroscopic growth factor (GF), and the BF was ∼ 0 when GF was larger than 1.15. …”

Hepato‐splanchnic fluxes during exercise in patients with cirrhosis—a pilot study by Stefanos Volianitis (22155835)

“…Among the 14 amino acids measured, glutamate was released in the liver, while the uptake of free fatty acids decreased. During exercise at relatively low workloads, arterial lactate and ammonia levels were comparable to those seen in healthy subjects at higher workloads, while euglycemia was maintained due to sufficient hepatic glucose production. …”
