The competing use of perfect and aorist tenses in Old Church Slavonic by MacRobert, C

“…It has sometimes been suggested that in the second and third persons singular, which coincide formally in the aorist tense, variation between aorist and perfect forms may to some extent be correlated with explicitly marked distinctions of person in Greek, and may therefore be a side effect of translation; but such correlations are not regular, and the frequency of second person singular perfect forms is higher in some types of text than in others. …”

Unveiling the dual role of chemically synthesized copper doped zinc oxide for resistive switching applications by Gollu, Sankara Rao, Roy, Sounak, Banerjee, Souri, Kundu, Souvik, Boppidi, Pavan Kumar Reddy, Raj, P. Michael Preetam, Challagulla, Swapna

“…PFM study exhibits the domain inversion with 180° polarization inversion by applying an external bias, evidencing its effectiveness for memory applications. When the electrical characteristics were concerned, the RS device based on this ferroelectric Cu:ZnO offers better performance, such as lower SET/RESET voltages (∼1.40 V), higher retention (up to 106 s) without distortion, and higher ON/OFF ratio (2.20 × 103), as compared to the former lower temperature annealed Cu:ZnO devices. …”

Effects of ifenprodil treatment on pain behaviour, inflammation, and nociceptive responses in the spinal cord of complete freund’s adjuvant-induced chronic polyarthritis rat by Noh, Ain’ Sabreena Mohd

“…This study aimed to investigate the effect of Ifenprodil as a selective NMDAR-2B antagonist on pain behaviour, inflammation, and nociceptive responses in the spinal cord of CFA-induced polyarthritis, as well as its possible side effect on memory function. Arthritic rats received intrathecal treatment of either Ifenprodil (0.5 or 1.0 μg/μL) or Sodium Diclofenac (6 μg) (positive control) whereas arthritic (A) and non-arthritic (C) control groups were administered with 0.9% normal saline for 7 days (day-16 to -22 post-arthritic induction). …”
