Establishing a Special Open Field Test Appliance for Tree Shrews Evaluates their Stressed Locomotor Behavior
It has a great significance to establish a high repetitive and special system to evaluate locomotion for tree shrew animal models,
especially neuropsychiatric models. Thus, we designed a special open field test appliance for tree shrews by using a polymer PMMA
board (plexiglass). The locomotion of naïve tree shrews was detected twice in it. By using Any-maze Software tracing the motion
trajectory, we found that the motion trajectory and the distance were very similar in both tests. It demonstrated that the appliance
designed for tree shrews had extremely high reliability and stability.

Cognitive Enhancers Derived from Edible Crops
The concept of an effective cognitive boosting nootropic supplement is gaining traction with consumers, neuroscientists and regulators
alike and it is therefore unsurprising that scientifically validated Nootropics are highly prized. New research demonstrates edible crops
could be useful sources to mine for new nootropics; plant extracts enriched with an array of cognitive enhancing metabolites. There is merit
in investigating these plant species. Metadata has identifies consuming specific fruit and vegetables positively affects cognitive function;
therefore these same edible crop plants present as opportunities for developing nootropic formulations. This hypothesis is supported
by positive data obtained through clinical testing [e.g. extracts of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), herbs from the Genus Salvia, cocoa
(Theobroma), tea (Camellia sinensisor) and coffee (Coffea Arabica). This review will discuss clinically tested cognitive enhancers derived
from edible crop species and discuss their use alongside other classes of nootropics.
A Case of Lambda AL Type Skeletal Amyloidosis with Vascular Myopathy Achieved Clinical Response after Autologous Stem Cell Transplant

Recent Developments in Human Odor Detection Technologies
Human odor detection technologies have drawn attention due to the wide possibility of potential applications they open up in areas such as biometrics, criminal investigation and forensics, search for survivors under rubble, and security checkpoint screening. Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) has been the most successful and powerful analytical approach developed to date for human odor analysis, and hundreds of human odorants have been identified using this tool.
Electronic-nose Applications in Forensic Science and for Analysis of Volatile Biomarkers in the Human Breath
The application of electronic-nose (E-nose) technologies in forensic science is a recent new development following a long history of progress in the development of diverse applications in the related biomedical and pharmaceutical fields. Data from forensic analyses must satisfy the needs and requirements of both the scientific and legal communities. The type of data collected from electronic-nose devices provides a means of identifying specific types of information about the chemical nature of evidentiary objects and samples under investigation using aroma signature profiles of complex gaseous mixtures containing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released from manufactured products and parts of the human body. E-nose analyses also provide useful qualitative information about the physicochemical characteristics and metabolic conditions of human subjects without the need for time-consuming analyses to identify all chemical components in human-derived volatile mixtures.

polyester, rayon and wool.
The Effects of the Film Thickness and Roughness in the Anodization Process of Very Thin Aluminum Films
The anodization of aluminum foils having micrometer thickness is a common process and results in hexagonally self-ordered alumina membranes. However, anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) membranes fabricated from nanometer-thin films present new challenges to the anodization process, since aluminum films adheres poorly on supporting substrates and the smoothness of the film is highly related to the kind of substrate.
Anodic Oxidation of Titanium in Sulphuric Acid and Phosphoric Acid Electrolytes
