Central to the debate on the demarcation of morphology and syntax is the position staked out by the Lexicalist Hypothesis, which holds that morphology and syntax are distinct systems which interface with each other in a particular way.Proponents of the Lexicalist Hypothesis point to a suite of diagnostics collectively known as lexical integrity tes
Evaluation of zirconia bonding to veneering porcelain
Zirconium dioxide as core ceramic material for dental crowns and bridges, possess high strength, chemical stability and superior aesthetics after veneering.Veneering ceramic is considered to be the weakest part of all-ceramic restorations.The adhesion between the stringmaterial core and veneering porcelain is based on the manner in which the connec
Reorganization of integration and segregation networks in brain-based visual impairment
Growing evidence suggests that cerebral connectivity changes its network organization by altering modular topology in response to developmental and environmental experience.However, changes in cerebral connectivity associated with visual impairment due to early neurological injury are still not fully understood.Cerebral visual impairment (CVI) is a
Molecular Barriers to Zoonotic Transmission of Prions
The risks posed to human health by individual animal prion diseases cannot be determined a priori and are difficult to address empirically.The fundamental event in prion disease pathogenesis is thought to be the notions seeded conversion of normal prion protein to its pathologic isoform.We used a rapid molecular conversion assay (protein misfolding
Waking the sleeping dragon: gene expression profiling reveals adaptive strategies of the hibernating reptile Pogona vitticeps
Abstract Background Hibernation is a physiological state exploited by many animals exposed to prolonged adverse environmental conditions associated with winter.Large changes in metabolism and cellular function occur, with many stress response pathways modulated to tolerate physiological challenges that might otherwise be lethal.Many studies have so
