The present study is focused on a review of the current state of investigating music-evoked
emotions experimentally, theoretically and with respect to their therapeutic potentials. After a …

Background—Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory response of the arterial wall to
injury. Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF), a cytokine with potent inflammatory …

[en] The study of thermal vacancy formation in pure metals by positron annihilation and the
determination of vacancy formation enthalpies is reviewed with particular emphasis to the …

Nanometer-sized polycrystalline materials are polycrystals prepared by compacting very
small crystallites (5–10 nm in diameter) under high pressures. The initial studies of Gleiter …

Nanoscience stands out for its interdisciplinarity. Barriers between disciplines disappear and
the fields tend to converge at the very smallest scale, where basic principles and tools are …

By means of the new technique of sealed–source specimens the Doppler broadening of the
positron–annihilation γM line has been investigated in the refractory metals V, Kb, Ta, Mo …

Polycythemia vera (PV) is a clonal stem cell disorder characterized by hyperproliferation of
the erythroid, myeloid, and megakaryocytic lineages. Although it has been shown that …

The diffusion of oxygen in ultrafine grained, undoped monoclinic ZrO 2 was studied using O

Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory response of the arterial wall to “injury”, which is
prominently driven by cytokines. The inflammatory mediator macrophage migration …

Background—Endothelin-converting enzyme (ECE)-1 activates endothelin-1 (ET-1) and
may thus contribute to the regulation of vascular tone and cell growth during atherosclerosis …
