Controlled-Deactivation CB1 Receptor Ligands as a Novel Strategy to Lower Intraocular Pressure
Nearly half a century has passed since the demonstration that cannabis and its chief psychoactive component Δ9-THC lowers intraocular pressure (IOP).Elevated IOP remains the chief hallmark and therapeutic target for glaucoma, a condition that places millions at risk of blindness.It is likely that Δ9-THC exerts much of its IOP-lowering e
Dryland Forest Restoration Under a Changing Climate in Central Asia and Mongolia
Diverse environmental gradients in Central Asia and Mongolia, from high mountain forests to semi-desert lowlands salinized by past agriculture and water withdrawals, pose challenges to restoring degraded forests and landscapes.Technical approaches in dryland forestry and agroforestry methods are available to overcome these challenges, but to be ful
The impacts of lithium and silicon coating on the W source in EAST
Application of lithium (Li) or silicon (Si) wall coating in the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) has proven to be an effective method to reduce fuel recycling and control impurity level, and also to improve the plasma performance.In 2014, the upper graphite divertor in EAST was upgraded into a full tungsten (W) one with ITER-lik
