The blood platelet in the blood normal function plays one of major factors. If the blood platelet function were exceptionally, the presence of a thrombus in an artery providing blood to the heart is the most common cause of acute coronarysyndromes such as myocardial infarction and angina. According to the studies, many medium from intercellular space, especially lipid metabolites like arachidonic ...

There have been disasters, including hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunami, mudslide, landslide, heavy rains, fire, flood, heat wave, drought, volcano, tornado, infected diseases, and nuclear disasters appeared in the past all over the world. For example, the Wen-Chiun Earthquake, the Burma Hurricane, and the Katrina Hurricane were all disasters, which resulted in huge loss of lives and properties. ...

High-voltage lateral diffused MOS (LDMOS) transistors are widely used in smart power applications because they are easily to be integrated into standard CMOS process. Because of relatively high operational voltages, LDMOS transistors are prone to hot-carrier-induced degradation. The investigation of the mechanism of hot-carrier-induced linear drain current (I_dlin) degradation (increase ...

The concept of human “intelligence” has been widely discussed in social science. Moreover, it has also been investigated in computer science, engineering, medicine, and management. In the fields of computer science and engineering, an intelligent system has the ability to sense the environment, to make decisions, and to generate actions. Thus, an intelligent control system (ICS) has three basic ...

Introduction
Neural circuits and their elements are not fixed and immutable but rather vary in response to their environment. Drug addiction is a remarkable example of this concept.  Recent evidence has shown that neurotransmitter receptors or receptor-mediated signaling, intrinsic neuronal excitability, neuronal morphology, synaptic strength, and ...
