The current study assessed whether the chronic constriction injury (CCI) model of neuropathic pain causes depression-like behaviour in animals, and if this depression-like behaviour can be reversed by anti-nociceptive and/or antidepressant drugs. CCI of the sciatic nerve in rats was selected as a neuropathic pain model, mechanical hypersensitivity was assessed by punctuate mechanical stimuli, a...

While it is well recognized that pulmonary deposition of inhaled particles is lowered in microgravity (μG) compared with gravity on the ground (1G), the absence of sedimentation causes fine particles to penetrate deeper in the lung in μG. Using quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), we determined the effect of gravity on peripheral deposition (DEPperipheral) of fine particles. Aerosoliz...

We study the problem of determining the largest d of a non-Denniston maximal arc of degree 2 generated by a fp; 1g-map in PGð2; 2Þ via a recent construction of Mathon [9]. On one hand, we show that there are fp; 1g-maps that generate non-Denniston maximal arcs of degree 2ðmþ1Þ=2, where md 5 is odd. Together with Mathon’s result [9] in the m even case, this shows that there are always fp; 1g-map...

This paper is based on the open pit to underground mining practice of Daye Iron Mine. The influence mechanism between high-steep slope and non-pillar sublevel caving method is studied by using physical model test. Firstly, engineering geological properties of the choosing typical research section is analysed and generalized. Secondly, the system of open pit to underground mining is developing a...

A graph G with n vertices and maximum degree 1G cannot be given weak sense of direction using less than 1G colours. It is known that n colours are always sufficient, and it was conjectured that just 1G + 1 are really needed, that is, one more colour is sufficient. Nonetheless, it has just been shown [2] that for sufficiently large n there are graphs requiring ω(n/ log n) more colours than 1G . ...
