introduction: the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (bst) is a limbic structure which is involved in cardiovascular regulation and baroreflex modulation. the presence of cholinergic synaptic terminalis with high level of muscarinic receptors in the bst has been demonstrated. this study was performed to find the role of the cholinergic muscarinic receptor in cardiovascular response and baroref...

A high pressure combined air-fuel injection system is designed and tested for an experimental free liquid-piston engine compressor. The application discussed utilizes available high pressure air from the compressor’s reservoir, and high pressure fuel to mix and then inject into a combustion chamber. This paper addresses the modeling, design and control for this particular high-pressure air-fuel...

Adrenergic control of swimbladder blood flow was analysed in blood-perfused preparations of the European eel as well as in situ by recording the changes in swimbladder blood flow and blood pressure following an injection of catecholamine into the dorsal artery. In blood-perfused swimbladder preparations, injection of the alpha-adrenergic agonist phenylephrine into the perfusion loop caused a ma...

Gasoline direct injection provides reduced engine emissions, increased power, and increased fuel economy as compared to port fuel injection (PFI). Reduced emissions are largely due to starting the engine using high fuel pressure (up to 150 bar) and injecting into the compression stroke. During a cold start, fuel pressure must be increased from lift pump pressure (typically 4 to 6 bar) to desire...
