Unravelling the Mysteries of Cognitive Decline in Cancer Survivors Using Functional Near Infrared Spectroscopy
(2017-06-14)
In recent years, there has been an increased incidence of cognitive impairment in cancer survivors as a side-effect of chemotherapy. This troubling deterioration in cognitive ability is commonly termed as 'Chemo brain' in ...
Existence of Exact Zero Divisors and Totally Reflexive Modules in Artinian Rings
(2017-05-10)
In this dissertation, we consider commutative local Artinian rings (A, m, k), which are rings that satisfy the descending chain condition on ideals. First, we investigate the existence of exact zero divisors in Artinian ...
