Multisensory integration and crossmodal attention have a large impact on how we perceive the world. Therefore, it is important to know under what circumstances these processes take place and how they affect our performance. So far, no consensus has been reached on whether multisensory integration and crossmodal attention operate independently and whether they represent truly automatic processes...

Rhythmical alternations between limestone and marls characterize the Pabdeh Formation, southwestern Iran. Three intervals of these rhythmites were studied using sedimentary, petrography and geochemical parameters analysis, to unravel the possible mechanisms responsible for the origin of these rhythmites. The microfacies analysis reflects calm deep-water sedimentation that were interrupted by sp...

Escherichia coli K1060-B5 (fadE fabB thi) incorporates into phospholipids several new synthetic fatty acid analogs including those containing phenyl, phenoxy, and azidophenoxy groups at the omega position.

An oil spill model coupled with a hydrodynamic model was developed to simulate the spread of oil slick in real marine conditions considering the effects of tidal currents, wind and wave. The hydrodynamic model is verified using the measurements of tidal elevations and current speeds at the Persian Gulf. Effect of various governing factors on oil slick movement, tidal currents, wind and wave, ar...

it is well know that any three impedances or admittances connected into each other in a star form can be easily transformed to a new three impedances or admittances connected into each other in a mesh form. in this paper a generalization of this fact is established and it is shown that in an n + 1 node network which is connected in a form it is always possible to eliminate the center node and o...

This paper investigates the effect of metallic sheaths on losses and temperature of medium voltage power cables. Two grounding methods of sheaths, including both ends bonding and single point bonding that causes different situations on cable ampacity, are considered. Electrical losses of cables that are main sources of heat are calculated in both conductor and metallic sheath of the cables. She...

The ever increase of nonlinear loads in electric distribution networks causes many problems due to the high level of harmonic currents. This paper proposes a new technique for controlling a single phase shunt active power filter based on a selective compensation using the newly developed technique of harmonic control arrays. Simulation results confirm the appropriate selective harmonic compensa...

There is strong evidence demonstrating that nifedipine dissolved in ethanol selectively inhibits only L-type Ca2+ current. In addition, acute ethanol exposure reduces voltage-dependent calcium currents. In the present study, we investigated the antagonistic effect of fixed concentration of nifedipine dissolved in different concentration of ethanol on L-type Ca2+ current. In a Na+-K+ free soluti...
