Sexually dimorphic age-related molecular differences in the entorhinal cortex of cognitively intact elderly: Relation to early Alzheimer's changes.

Introduction: Women are more vulnerable to Alzheimer's disease (AD) than men. The entorhinal cortex (EC) is one of the earliest structures affected in AD. We identified in cognitively intact elderly different molecular changes in the EC in relation to age.

Sea Clutter Suppression Method of HFSWR Based on RBF Neural Network Model Optimized by Improved GWO Algorithm.

The detection performance of high-frequency surface-wave radar (HFSWR) is closely related to the suppression effect of sea clutter. To effectively suppress sea clutter, a sea clutter suppression method based on radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) optimized by improved gray wolf optimization (IGWO) algorithm is proposed. Firstly, according to shortcomings of the standard gray wolf optimization (GWO) algorithm, such as slow convergence speed and easily getting into local optimum, an adaptive division of labor search strategy is proposed, which makes the population have abilities of both large-scale search and local exploration in the entire optimization process.

[Effects of NaCl stress on Hippophae rhamnoides and Shepherdia argentea seedlings growth and photosynthetic characteristics].

With two-year old seedlings of Hippophea rhamnoides and Shepherdia argentea as test materials, this paper studied their growth and photosynthetic characteristics under the stress of different concentration (0, 200, 400 and 600 mmol x L(-1)) NaCl. The results showed that the biomass and total leaf area per plant of H. rhamnoides and S.
