Protection of Striatal and Nigral neurons by Trophic and Antioxidant Mechanisms. A study on in vitro and in vivo brain insult models and neural transplants

This thesis explored the protective effects of growth factors and antioxidants on striatal and nigral neurons in in vitro and in vivo brain insult models and neural transplants. Five different growth factors were examined for their survival-promoting effects on cultured striatal neurons: basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), truncated insulin-like growth factor-1 (tIGF-1), platelet derived growth

Gender Clash: Why Is Saudi Arabia So Angry at Sweden?

Far from being essentially a dispute over democratic governance or even human rights, the current Saudi-Swedish row basically represents a clash of state genders, pitting a “masculine” religious autocracy against a “feminine” social democracy.

The Age of Compliance: Performing transparency in the global anti-corruption industry

Abstract: Over the past decade, a new global regime of anti-corruption has taken shape. Pushed by NGOs such as Transparency International, and with coalitions of international organizations, Western governments, and private business circles, we now have a framework of conventions and regulations that impel governments and international firms to act with integrity and to prevent corruption in busin

Theory and Applications of Adaptive Control : A Survey

Progress in theory and applications of adaptive control is reviewed. Different approaches are discussed with particular emphasis on model reference adaptive systems and self-tuning regulators. Techniques for analysing adaptive systems are discussed. This includes stability and convergence analysis. It is shown that adaptive control laws can also be obtained from stochastic control theory.
