Aims/Purpose: This work aims to assess the consistency of neurovascular coupling (NVC) response a healthy subject group at two visits 5 months apart. Methods: Fundus images (4x4 degrees) macular region (3 baseline acquisitions and 3 each preceded by flicker stimulation) 13 adults (one eye each, age (m+/‐sd): 33.08+/‐11.4 yrs.) were acquired with rtx1 AO camera (ImagineEyes, Orsay, France). The was configured for 20 second, 15Hz, 4 μW.cm^(‐2) stimulation over 29x20 degrees area imaged fundus....

Using a recently reported double many-body expansion potential energy surface, quasi-classical, statistical mechanics, and quantum resonance calculations have been performed for the HN2 system by focusing on determination of bimolecular (N + NH H N2) unimolecular (decomposition HN2) rate constants as well relevant equilibrium constants.
An accurate single-sheeted double many-body expansion potential energy surface has been obtained for the ground electronic state of hydrogen cyanide molecule via a multiproperty fit to ab initio energies and rovibrational data. This includes 106 levels 2313 discrete points, which are with rmsd 4 cm-1 2.42 kcal mol-1, respectively, seven zero first-derivatives that reproduced at three stationary points. Since also describes accurately appropriate asymptotic limits various dissociation...
Recent reports have claimed a superior performance of HEPES buffer in comparison to alternative systems for 67/68 Ga labeling aqueous media. In this paper we report spectroscopic ( 1 H and 71 NMR), radiochemical, mass spectrometry theoretical modeling studies on the 3+ /HEPES system (HEPES = N ‐2‐hydroxyethylpiperazine‐ ′‐2‐ethanesulfonic acid) performed with aim elucidating potential contribution 68/67 radiolabeling process. Our results demonstrate that acts as weakly but competitive...
