Huntington’s disease (HD) is an inherited, progressive neurodegenerative disorder. It arises because of genetically programmed degeneration of neurons in parts of the brain including the basal ganglia and the cerebral cortex, which play important roles in coordinating movement and regulating perception, thought, and memory, respectively. People with Huntington’s disease often develop chorea, which causes involuntary muscle…
Latest developments in oil production indicate a rapid growth phase for The Subsea Production Market. Subsea engineering, in which wellbores are drilled through the seabed, is typically carried out for the extraction of petroleum. Escalation of demand for energy and the nearing maturity of onshore resources are driving the momentum toward subsea engineering. An increase…
If there’s one thing that separates the wheat from the chaff in the oversaturated consumer electronics market, it’s displays.
