Description: Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative
disease afflicting the global population. This
disease affects motor neuron nerve cells located in
the brain, brainstem, and spinal cord that serve as
controlling units and communication points between
the nervous system and the muscles of the body. In
ALS, both the upper motor neurons, in the brain, and
the lower motor neurons, in… more
Full Text: Introduction Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a disease that weakens muscles by affecting motor neurons. In the body, neurons serve to receive and transmit signals from the brain. Some of the 20 essential amino acids are used to stimulate the …

Description: Vacuum ultraviolet magnetic circular dichroism (MCD)
and absorption spectra of isobutene were obtained
experimentally and compared to theoretical data
(DFT calculation with Gaussian software) with the
goal of better understanding the electronic structure
of simple olefins. MCD is the differential absorption of
left and right circular polarized light in the presence
of an external magnetic… more
