Intracerebral grafting of neuronal cell suspensions. V. Behavioural recovery in rats with bilateral 6-OHDA lesions following implantation of nigral cell suspensions.

Bilateral 6-hydroxydopamine-induced lesions of the ascending forebrain dopamine neurones induce a behavioural syndrome in rats which includes profound aphagia, adipsia, akinesia and bilateral sensorimotor neglect. Such animals will die unless maintained by intragastric feeding. Three experiments are reported in which we have attempted to ameliorate this syndrome with single or multiple placements

Energy-Conservation Clustering Protocol based on Heat Conductivity for Wireless Sensor Networks

One of the most critical issues in wireless sensor networks is energy efficiency because of the limited energy network nodes can store in batteries. Therefore, these networks require robust wireless communication protocols that are designed to be energy-efficient. In this paper, we introduce a routing protocol based on an energy-temperature transformation principle, called RETT. Our objectives are

Arenas for Post-Enlargement Socialization? Persuasion, Communicative Action and Socialization after EU Enlargement

Socialization is an undertheorized concept representing a challenge to constructivist approaches to European integration. Although references to the capacity of international institutions to shape actor preferences are common, the processes through which actors are thought to be socialized are not yet specified within the field. Once resolved, this challenge will turn out to strengthen the constru

The Relationship between Voluntary Disclosure, External Financing, and Financial Status

Using unique Swedish disclosure data from 2007 to 2012, this paper reports three important sets of findings with regard to the relationship between firms’ voluntary disclosure, external financing, and financial status. First, financially strong firms disclose more than weaker ones. Second, firms that obtain new financing (equity or debt) disclose more than firms that do not. Third, the association

Crime and the City: the criminal underworld in sixteenth century Peking

The presence of a criminal underworld is one of the characteristics of a metropolis. A city unplagued by an underworld, without its share of confidence tricksters and swindlers, burglars and pick-pockets, gambling dens and houses of ill-repute, would probably not be generally counted as a great city. This is certainly true today, and it was also true four hundred years ago, and even earlier. Peki

Mahalla in Post-Soviet Uzbekistan

This article examines the validity of international reports and policy analyses on Uzbekistan, and possibly on other Central Asian countries, regarding informal economic practices as a social evil that undermines the legitimacy and efficiency of public policies. The research presented is based on three periods of fieldwork between 2009 and 2012 in rural Fergana, Uzbekistan, and uses the case of ma
