Tips to Craft an Effective Thesis for Your College Paper

Tips to Craft an Effective Thesis. AoS

Lots of students consider essay writing a mind-numbing process as it often takes too much time and leaves students completely drained. The problem is few learners bother to think through every writing stage and plan their work

Stable housing can significantly improve health outcomes in women living with HIV

Positive effect of stable housing on viral suppression and CD4 cell count in women living with HIV. AoS

Unstable housing, including homelessness, is a key socioeconomic determinant of poor health outcomes and premature death in the United States. Housing-insecure individuals are more likely to delay seeking medical care due to costs, lack of health insurance,

Circulating fibrocytes as possible new target of abatacept effect in systemic sclerosis patients

Circulating fibrocytes as possible new target. AoS

Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is an autoimmune connective tissue disease characterized by microvascular and immune response alterations followed by a progressive fibrosis, which is the consequence of an excessive production and deposition of extracellular matrix molecules, primarily fibronectin

Prefrontal-auditory communication in fear discrimination

Identifying neural networks that infer safety versus danger is of great interest in the scientific field. Fear generalization reduces the chances of an animal’s survival and leads to psychiatric diseases, such as post-traumatic stress disorders and phobias

Parasite control – breaking the worm cycle

Gastrointestinal parasites are a major health challenge for all grazing animals, whether they are located on paddocks and rangelands (such as horses, sheep cattle or goats) or in zoos (such as giraffe and zebra). In a previous

kINPen09 plasma treatment leads to antimicrobial effects against Candida albicans biofilms

Fluorescence microscopy of plasma-treated biofilms. AoS

Microbial communities are an increasing problem in medicine but also in industry. Thus, an efficient and rapid removal of biofilms from surfaces is becoming increasingly important. With the aid of the kINPen09, a radiofrequency plasma jet (RFPJ)

Ketamine, not TPS potentiates glutamate-induced Ca neurotoxicity

Ketamine, not TPS potentiates glutamate-induced Ca neurotoxicity. AoS

There is growing concern about anaesthesia effects on the developing brain because commonly used anaesthetics can cause neurodegeneration and long-term neurocognitive deficits. In the developing brain, GABA-R agonists and NMDA-R antagonists cause neurotoxicity and apoptosis. Comparing their

Iron: it is all in the core

Iron is transported in the body using transferrin. AoS

Iron, the most abundant element on the Earth’s core, is an essential substance necessary for a number of reactions in the body which lead to the production of necessary  energy allowing optimal function. Iron deficiency (ID) and

Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVM) should be treated by embolization

Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations. AoS

Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVM) are congenital vascular communications in the lungs. They act as shunts so that the blood running through these malformations is not oxygenated or filtered (Fig. 1). These patients will typically have dyspnea on

Nanocrystalline 3D homojunctions for next generation opto-electronics

Schematics of (a) SSE of pn NHJ film for creating (b) solar or lighting device. AoS

Planar pn junctions constitute an integral part of optoelectronic devices. Inorganic semiconductor crystals offer superior properties compared to organics but high-grade crystals are expensive and difficult to produce in large volume. Bulk heterojunction (BHJ) and ordered heterojunctions
