introduction: topiramate is a newly anti-convulsant drug, which acts as nmda glutamate receptor antagonist as well as the gabab receptor agonist. it is used for physical dependence to opioids as well as cocaine, nicotine, alcohol and ecstasy dependence. in the present study attempts were made to further identification of the effects of topiramate on the acquisition and expression of morphine-in...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Root cortical aerenchyma (RCA) increases water and nutrient acquisition by reducing the metabolic costs of soil exploration. In this study the hypothesis was tested that living cortical area (LCA; transversal root cortical area minus aerenchyma area and intercellular air space) is a better predictor of root respiration, soil exploration and, therefore, drought tolerance than...

The reduction of nitrogen (N) fertilizer use is a possible greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation option, whereas cost estimation highly depends on assumptions the yield response function. This paper analyzes potential and range GHG costs with reduced N application based empirical data for winter rye (Secale cereale L.) rapeseed (Brassica napus from field experiments 2013 to 2020 in Brandenburg, Germa...

Libraries today are included in the general demand for cost transparency and effective cost management. In the current socio-economic situation, it is challenging to cope with the same or reduced resources in managing the same processes and activities, so that the quality of the result would not be affected. The need of library managers to justify their costs to their parent organizations has b...

We observed a new approach being adopted in the software industry that combines a business model with strong technical support. This Product Flow Model combines aspects of the Product Line model with workflow concepts for virtual enterprises. The Product Flow Model (PFM) addresses the costly ongoing maintenance of major products being delivered to customers. When such maintenance is provided by...

Purpose Spiral k-space trajectories allow for rapid data acquisition, leading to reduced motion artifacts, and facilitating the imaging of dynamic objects. The spiral trajectory is effective in coronary artery imaging (1). Either numerical (2) or approximate analytic (3) methods were used to calculate the sampling of the trajectory. Improved performance was observed with variable density spiral...
