Fluid-structure interaction studies on marine propeller
Composite propellers offer high damping characteristics and corrosion resistance when compared with metal propellers. But the design of a hybrid composite propeller with the same strength of metal propeller is the critical task. For this purpose, the present paper focusses on fluid-structure interaction analysis of hybrid composite propeller with Carbon/Epoxy, R-Glass/Epoxy and S2-Glass/Epoxy t...
متن کاملNeuropeptide S A Neuropeptide Promoting Arousal and Anxiolytic-like Effects
Arousal and anxiety are behavioral responses that involve complex neurocircuitries and multiple neurochemical components. Here, we report that a neuropeptide, neuropeptide S (NPS), potently modulates wakefulness and could also regulate anxiety. NPS acts by activating its cognate receptor (NPSR) and inducing mobilization of intracellular Ca2+. The NPSR mRNA is widely distributed in the brain, in...
متن کاملStructure-activity Studies of Hydrazones
a-Acyl-a-cyanocarbonyl-phenylhydrazones are effective uncouplers of oxidative phosphorylation. The p/50-values of a series of 60 hydrazones with substituent variations in six positions of the molecule were determined in rat liver mitochondria. They ranged from 4.96 to 7.06. The biological data together with physico-chemical compound and substituent parameters were analysed by multiple regressio...
متن کاملStudies on Ribonuclease S. I. Limited Carboxypeptidase Degradation of Ribonuclease S-protein and Ribonuclease S-peptide: Effects of Changes in Primary Structure on Enzymic Activity.
Specific regions of the polypeptide sequence of pancreatic ribonuclease have been altered by chemical modification and by limited proteolytic digestion in attempts to implicate specific covalent portions of the molecule in the structure and stabilization of the active center. Digestion of the native molecule with trypsin at elevated temperatures has been shown to remove portions of the chain wi...
متن کاملCentral Neuropeptide S inhibits food intake in mice through activation of Neuropeptide S receptor.
Neuropeptide S (NPS), the endogenous ligand of NPS receptor (NPSR), can regulate a variety of biological functions, including arousal, anxiety, locomotion, memory and drug abuse. Previous studies have shown that central NPS inhibited food intake in rats and chicks. In the present study, we investigated the role of central NPS on food intake in fasted mice, and detected the underlying mechanism(...
