Synapses in the cerebral cortex constantly change and this dynamic property regulated by the action of neuromodulators such as dopamine (DA), is essential for reward learning and memory.DA modulates spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP), a cellular model of learning and memory, in juvenile rodent cortical neurons.However, it is unknown whether t
Low saving rates combined with low effective retirement age herald old-age poverty.This paper examines the preferred strategies of future Polish pensioners in order to sustain the standard of living in the future.A two-step approach is used: as a first-best strategy, we explore determinants of supplementary saving with binary logistic models; as a
Biological flyers and swimmers navigate in unsteady wake flows using limited sensory abilities and actuation energies.Understanding how vortical structures can be leveraged for energy-efficient navigation in unsteady flows is beneficial in developing autonomous navigation for small-scale aerial and marine vehicles.Such vehicles are typically operat
The mission of WEST (tungsten-W Environment in Steady-state Tokamak) is to explore long pulse operation in a full tungsten (W) environment for preparing next-step fusion devices (ITER and DEMO) with a focus on testing the ITER actively cooled W divertor in tokamak conditions.Following the successful completion of phase 1 (2016-2021), phase 2 starte
Awareness is a prerequisite Thermal Switches/Fuses in the development of successful brands; in this paper are highlighted, for certain categories of common food products, brands enjoying the highest spontaneous awareness among young people.On the basis of this work are some of the results of a direct research conducted on a sample of 100 students,
