The elevated plus-maze (EPM) model usually employs nocturnal species (e.g. rats and mice) and the tests are almost exclusively performed during the diurnal phase (lights on), leading some laboratories to perform experiments with animals under a reversed light cycle to overcome this problem. However, it is questionable whether the artificial reversal of the light cycle for short periods guarante...

Many exoskeletons in scientific communications and patents only reach a technology readiness level corresponding to an experimental physical model (EPM) or low-fidelity prototype. While operational laboratory environment, the increasing (TRL) is not widely studied. This work presents study this aim based on new methodology that includes two phases, eleven steps, four case studies from EPM (TRL3...

Anxiety disorders are the most prevalent psychiatric disorders and affect a great number of people worldwide. Essential oils, take effects through inhalation or topical application, are believed to enhance physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Although clinical studies suggest that the use of essential oils may have therapeutic potential, evidence for the efficacy of essential oils in ...

Anxiety related disorders are the most common mental illnesses and major cause of disability in man. Anxiolytic activity of methanol extract of leaves of A. brasiliana (L.) Kuntze (MEAB) was evaluated using hole board (HB), open field (OF), elevated plus maze (EPM) and light/dark exploration test (LDE) in mice. Its locomotor activity was studied using actophotometer and anticonvulsant effect wa...

Rodents submitted to restraint stress show decreased activity in an elevated plus-maze (EPM) 24 h later. The objective of the present study was to determine if a certain amount of time is needed after stress for the development of these changes. We also wanted to verify if behavioral tolerance of repeated daily restraint would be detectable in this model. Male Wistar rats were restrained for 2 ...

The adoption of large-scale antenna arrays at high-frequency bands is widely envisioned in the beyond 5G wireless networks. This leads to near-field regime where wavefront no longer planar but spherical, bringing new opportunities and challenges for communications positioning. In this paper, we improve positioning technology from classical spherical model (SWM) more accurate true electromagneti...

Anxiety and depression are component of interictal behavioral deteriorations that occur as a consequence of kindling, a procedure to induce chronic epilepsy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the possible effects of electrical stimulation (ES) of paleocerebellar cortex on anxiety and depressive-like behavior in a PTZ kindled epilepsy model. Kindling was induced via pentylenetetrazol (PTZ) (...

One of the problems encountered in design and implementation a serial production line (SPL) is buffer size between machine tools. The SPL has an important impact on productivity whole system. tools’ characteristics including their uptimes downtimes process parameters are main factors that affect decision regarding size, thus SPL. Due to dynamic nature this problem, it complex find optimal Thus,...

The aim of this work was to study age-related changes in the behaviour adult Wistar rats using open field (OF) and elevated plus maze (EPM) tests. Behavioural related motor activity anxiety were particular interest. Results showed that as male female progressed from 2 5 months age, there a decrease level exploratory activities an increase their anxiety. Age-related dependent upon initial indivi...

abstract this research was conducted in the pegah - sorkh sub-catchments area, a semi-arid region in sw iran, using geographic information systems (gis) and remote sensing (rs) to compare the erosion potential method (epm) and modified pacific southwest interagency committee (mpsiac) models in erosion-potential mapping and sediment yield assessment. the study area with approximately 4600 ha sho...
