Modification of Pd/CeO2 catalyst by Atomic Layer Deposition of ZrO2 by Onn, Tzia Ming

“…Calcination of the unmodified Pd/CeO2, prepared by precipitation of aqueous Ce(NO3)3 solutions, with Pd added by impregnation, caused a large decrease in surface area and an increase in crystallite size between 673 K and 1073 K; however, catalysts modified by 0.4 nm ZrO2 films showed no change in either surface area or CeO2 crystallite size upon calcination to 1073 K. …”

Differentiation of human olfactory bulb-derived neural stem cells toward oligodendrocyte. by Marei, Hany E

“…The differentiation medium, containing cAMP, PDGFA, T3, and all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA), promotes OBNSCs to generate mostly oligodendrocytes (OLs) displaying morphological changes, and appearance of long cytoplasmic processes. OBNSCs showed, after 5 days in OLs differentiation medium, a considerable decrease in the number of nestin positive cells, which was associated with a concomitant increase of NG2 immunoreactive cells and few O4(+)-OPCs. …”

Overconfident results with the bivariate random effects model for meta-analysis of diagnostic accuracy studies by Furuya-Kanamori, Luis

“…Diaz found that the performance of the bivariate model deteriorates when between-study heterogeneity increases and the number of studies decrease.5 Our simulation studies found similar results—with moderate levels of heterogeneity (tau2 = 1), the coverage probabilities of Se, Sp, and the diagnostic odds ratio (DOR) with the bivariate model dropped below the nominal level.6 Diagnostic accuracy studies usually favor sensitivity over specificity, or vice versa leading to diagnostic 2 × 2 tables with one or more of the cells with low frequency or zero counts. …”
