1. Secondary Nucleation in Amyloid Formation
Abstract : Research into Alzheimer's disease is still hampered by a lack of fundamental understanding of the underlying mechanisms. While the aggregation of the amyloid β peptide (Aβ) into amyloid fibrils is highly implicated as a key factor in the disease, the molecular nature of its involvement has proven complex and elusive.

2. Understanding secondary nucleation of the amyloid β peptide
Abstract : Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a devastating neurodegenerative disease associated with massive neuronal cell death during its pathology. The involvement of the amyloid β 42 (Aβ42) peptideand its role in neurotoxicity is now well established. READ MORE

3. Amyloid beta aggregation kinetics : The role of intrinsic and extrinsic factors
Abstract : Cerebral senile plaque is one of the main pathologies of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The amyloid cascade hypothesis suggests that the aggregation of amyloid beta (Abeta) peptide is involved in the pathogenesis of AD, which is supported by the fact that Abeta overexpression or production of more aggregation-prone variants lead to early-onset dementia.

4. Fine Scale Microstructures of Josephson Junctions in YBa2Cu3O7-δ Thin Film Structures
Abstract : This work concerns the microstructure of YBa2Cu3O7-.delta. (YBCO) and other related thin films in multilayer structures, studied by mainly transmission electron microscopy (TEM). READ MORE

5. Improved Cloud Parameterization in Global Climate Model : Aerosol effects and secondary ice production mechanisms
Abstract : The response of clouds to the changes in climate is uncertain, and the representation of the cloud-climate feedback is a key challenge in the global circulation models (GCM) for future climate projections. Factors contributing to this uncertainty include processes that involve particles of various sizes and phases, as well as the interactions between these particles and the surrounding atmosphere.
