Focal stimulation of the posterior parietal cortex increases the excitability of the ipsilateral motor cortex. by Koch, G, Fernandez Del Olmo, M, Cheeran, B, Ruge, D, Schippling, S, Caltagirone, C, Rothwell, J

“…Similar results were obtained testing the ipsilateral interaction in the left hemisphere with a slightly different time course. In control experiments, we found that activation of this facilitatory pathway depends on the direction of induced current in the brain and is specific for stimulation of the caudal part of the inferior parietal sulcus (cIPS) site, because it is not observed for stimulation of adjacent scalp sites. …”

Bismuth Oxide Nanoparticles/Chitosan-Modified Electrodes as Biosensor for DNA Hybridization by Taufik, Safura

“…Sensitivity of the developed sensor was at 5.23 μA/mol l-1 DNA with the regression correlation coefficient (R2) of 0.993. In control experiment, the results showed that the highest oxidation peak current was observed at hybridization of ssDNA with complementary DNA, while a decrease was found out at single base-mismatch DNA sequence, which could be attributed to a very little intercalation of MB. …”

Enhancement of cell density and characterization of chlorella vulgaris immobilized within beads for lipid production by Noor Raihana, Abu Sepian, Nur Hidayah, Mat Yasin, N., Zainol

“…This study aims to determine cell density and characterize Chlorella vulgaris cells immobilized within beads using new combined matrices with volumetric ratios (Matrices:Microalgae) namely, (1) mixed matrices, SACMCCA (0.3:1) (2) SACA (0.3:1) (3) SACMC (1:1) and (4) SA (1:1) (sodium alginate, SA; calcium alginate, CA; sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, CMC) as a control experiment. The pore size, surface morphology, size of the beads, membrane thickness and chemical compound of these beads were examined. …”

“…<p>A one-dimensional coupled sea ice–ocean model is used to investigate how the Arctic Ocean stratification and sea ice respond to changes in meltwater. In the control experiments, the model is capable of accurately simulating seasonal changes in the upper-ocean stratification structure compared with observations, and the results suggest that ocean stratification is important for ice thickness development during the freezing season. …”
