Stereotactic Gamma Knife Radiosurgery for Extracranial Arteriovenous Malformations

Introduction: Head and neck extracranial arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are rare pathological conditions which pose diagnostic and reconstruction challenges. Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is nowadays an established treatment method for brain AVMs, wi ...

Studies of Two-Phase Flow at a Chute Aerator with Experiments and CFD Modelling

Michael Pfister

The chute aerator of a spillway is a structure in such a sense that air is, in the intense emulsification, entrained into the high-velocity water flow. Correctly predicting the air entrainment and two-phase flow pattern at the aerator would contribute to r ...

Evidence for a role of oxytocin receptors in the long-term establishment of dominance hierarchies

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Maria Isabel Cordero Campana, Marjan Timmer

Exposure to stress can affect the establishment of dominance hierarchies. In our model, a social hierarchy established by two male rats during a first encounter is not maintained 1 week later. If one of the two rats is stressed, the stressed rat becomes su ...

Differential impact of polysialyltransferase ST8SiaII and ST8iaIV knockout on social interaction and aggression

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Reto Bisaz, Cristina Marquez Vega, Martina Fantin

Previous studies using neuronal cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) -/- knockout (KO) mice provided evidence for a role of NCAMs in social behaviors. However, polysialic acid (PSA), the most important post-translational modification of NCAM, was also absent in t ...

Dual activities of odorants on olfactory and nuclear hormone receptors

Horst Vogel, Horst Pick, Olivia Baud, Sylvain Etter, Ralf Schmauder

We have screened an odorant compound library and discovered molecules acting as chemical signals that specifically activate both G-protein-coupled olfactory receptors (ORs) on the cell surface of olfactory sensory neurons and the human nuclear estrogen rec ...

Monte Carlo model for the photoluminescence kinetics of a quantum dot embedded in a nanocavity

Vincenzo Savona, Guillaume Jean Tarel

We address the problem of the photoluminescence of a quantum (QD) dot in a nanocavity, with focus on the case of nonzero detuning. In this regime, experiments have shown that strong emission from the cavity-like peak is still present for dot-cavity detunin ...

Effects of dynamic compression on lentiviral transduction in an in vitro airway wall model

Melody Swartz, Alice Anna Tomei

Asthmatic patients are more susceptible to viral infection, and we asked whether dynamic strain on the airway wall (such as that associated with bronchoconstriction) would influence the rate of viral infection of the epithelial and subepithelial cells. To ...
