In this study, we investigated whether transient cerebral ischemia affects the function and molecular expression of specific muscarinic cholinergic receptors.Our results show that in contrast to the GABA-B and A1 adenosine receptor systems, the ability of muscarinic receptors to attenuate evoked excitatory responses at vulnerable CA1 synapses is Dr
Observing the Testing Effect using Coursera Video-recorded Lectures: A Preliminary Study
We investigated the testing effect in Coursera video-based learning.One hundred and twenty-three participants either (a) studied an instructional video-recorded lecture four times, (b) studied the lecture three times and took one recall test, or (c) studied the lecture once and iPhone 7+/8+ took three tests.They then took a final recall test, eithe
Using biochar to purify runoff in road verges of urbanised watersheds: A large-scale field lysimeter study
Urban runoff from traffic areas is a major source of pollution that degrades the quality of adjacent surface waters.Green infrastructure provided by the substantial amount of roadside land at urban fringe areas can be used to better manage and infiltrate this urban runoff.When establishing urban green areas, recycled materials should be preferred i
OSoMe: the IUNI observatory on social media
The study of social phenomena is becoming increasingly reliant on big data from online social networks.Broad access to social media data, however, requires software development skills that not all researchers possess.Here we present the IUNI Observatory on Social Media, an open analytics platform designed Dresser to facilitate computational social
Reference areas and edaphoclimatic variables: support for the choice of tree species in the restoration of riparian forests in Southern Brazil
Identifying factors involved in the choice of species for forest restoration is a great challenge, given the wide range of biotic and abiotic factors that may influence ecosystem trajectories.This review aims to highlight the information from reference areas and edaphoclimatic factors as aids in the choice of forest species to be used in the restor
