Steady state millisecond delayed fluorescence (DLE) of intact leaves and cyanobacterial cells was measured continuously with a Becquerel-type phosphoroscope while cooling from the growth temperature to near 0°C or heating from the low to high temperature at about 1°C/min. The temperature of maximum DLE depended upon light intensity. In Anacystis grown at 28 and 38°C DLE maximum occurred near 15 and 23°C, respectively, which are the temperatures where thylakoid membrane lipids have been shown to pass from the liquid crystalline to the mixed solid-liquid crystalline state in these cyanobacteria. In some plants such as field mallow DLE increased continuously as the temperature decreased, whereas in others it rose to a maximum, then decreased. Chilling-sensitive plants such as tomato, sweet potato and Trichospermum, showed DLE maxima around 10-14°C while the chilling-resistant plant, oat, had a maximum near 4°C and field mallow had no maximum above 0°C.

This study focuses on the simulation of a solar photocatalytic reactor with linear parabolic reflectors and continuous fluid flow. The simulation approach was initially validated against experimental data reported by Miranda-Garcia et al. Catal Today 151:107-113 (2010), yielding a high degree of accuracy of approximately 0.

We evaluated autopsy-confirmed individuals affected by six different PSEN1 mutations; two of known (L381V, C410Y) and three (A426P/E318G, M233L, and V261I) of unknown pathogenic status. The sixth patient had Autosomal Dominant AD (ADAD) not yet genotyped.

Background: Normal aging is associated with alterations of functional connectivity (FC) in brain neuronal networks. Altered network connectivity may be associated with accelerated cognitive decline. Physical activity is considered a beneficial lifestyle factor for maintaining cognitive health.

Background: No study has synthesized evidence from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) testing the acute and chronic effects of reallocating sedentary time (ST) to physical activity (PA) on cognitive and brain health across the lifespan.
Method: Seven academic databases were systematically searched on October 26, 2022, with an updated search on June 23, 2023. Inclusion criteria encompassed RCTs published in English involving healthy participants aged ≥ 4 years.
Background: Nonhuman primates are arguably the best models for Alzheimer's disease (AD), due to close similarities with humans in physiology and behavior, brain structure and function, and aging patterns. The common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus) is particularly valuable because it has the shortest lifespan of all anthropoids (10-12 years), exhibits sex differences in age-related cognitive decline and develops AD-like pathology with age. In the present study, we investigated blood-based biomarkers in male and female marmosets with cognitive and neuropathological assessments.
