Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleHormetic and Non-Hormetic Dose-Response Functions in Stress Effects on Memory and Synaptic Plasticity: Issues and MechanismsPhillip R. Zoladz, David M. DiamondOver a century of behavioral research has shown that stress can exert both positive and negative effects on memory. We have explored the idea that the complex effects of stress on learning and memory can be characterized by hormetic- and non-hormetic dose-response functions, in which stress may either stimulate or impair brain memory mechanisms, depending, in part, on the timing … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 8,184 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsApproximation of Experimental Curve of Nonlinear Deformation of DuraluminMoh’d Ishaq Abu HalawaProblem statement: The experimental curves for physically nonlinear deformation of aluminum alloy D-16Т have been approximated in a temperature field. Approach: An analytical approximation variant of plasticity and physical nonlinearity functions was presented and a numerical processing technique of experimental data was described. Results: The corresponding analytical formulas of plasticity functions and nonlinear creep were proposed with mathematically substantiated parameters. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2010 · 6,736 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdsorption of Nickel and Zinc by Residual SoilsNur ’Aishah Zarime, W. Y. Wan Zuhairi, Sivarama KrishnaSoil has long been utilized as low cost liner material to prevent contamination from leachate to groundwater media. To find a suitable soil material for this purpose is a great challenge. This study describes the potential use of residual soil to functions as engineered clay liner for waste disposal landfill in Malaysia. Three types of residual soils were investigated namely … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 6 · 5 Dec 2014 · 7,116 accessesView PDF Cite
