Introduction: Memantine as N-Methyl-D-aspartic acid (NMDA) receptor antagonist is used in some neurological disorders. It has been reported that memantine has modulatory effects on the somatosensory information processing in healthy subjects. This study investigated the effect of memantine on electrophysiological properties of barrel cortex neurons in male rats. Methods: Single unit recording ...

Deployable bar structures are especially useful for emergency buildings. These require simplicity and ease of assembly their performance can be improve by using reciprocal linkage at bars ends. This configuration determines singular constructive conditions that allow all types cylindrical vaults. article develops this new system, from a previously theoretical analysis to test campaign allows ve...

Introduction: Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is a chemical often used as a solvent for waterinsoluble drugs. In this study, we evaluated the effect of intracerebroventricular (ICV) administration of DMSO on neural response characteristics (in 1200–1500 μm depth) of the rat barrel cortex. Methods: DMSO solution was prepared in 10% v/v concentration and injected into the later...

The geometric analysis and the design execution process of springs starred vault that covers Chapel Lonja de los Mercaderes in Valencia (Spain), built late 15th century is subject study research this paper. other vaults are also mentioned, such as one covered chapter house Valldigna monastery (Simat, Valencia) or those church San Bartolomé Jávea (Alicante). geometry basket arches start from spr...

Performance studies of the CMS barrel muon system carried out at INFN Bologna are described in detail. The expected muon momentum resolution and trigger efficiency are calculated for different configurations of the measuring superlayers. The emphasis here is not on the absolute response, but rather on the comparison of the various configurations. ) On leave from INRNE, Sofia, Bulgaria

This paper deals with the structural behaviour and strengthening of adobe vaults representative from historical buildings city Yazd, Iran. Eight destructive tests were performed on 1:3 scaled vault models by loading them at 30% span in loading–unloading cycles increasing vertical displacement. The tested considering both unstrengthened strengthened conditions, where consisted an externally bond...
