Thrombospondin-1 protects against Aβ-induced mitochondrial fragmentation and dysfunction in hippocampal cells.
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is often characterized by the impairment of mitochondrial function caused by excessive mitochondrial fragmentation. Thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1), which is primarily secreted from astrocytes in the central...
Extreme Min – Cut Max – Flow Algorithm
In this article, the authors propose a maximum flow algorithm based on flow matrix. The algorithm only requires the effort to reduce the capacity of the underutilized arcs to that of the respective flow. The optimality of the...

Assessment of additional phase energy losses caused by phase imbalance for data-scarce LV networks
Unbalanced phase currents, which flow in transformer windings and distribution wires, cause a significant increase (~33%) of phase energy losses in low voltage (LV, 415 V) networks. However, these additional phase energy losses...
