introduction: the role of adenosine a1 receptors of the amygdala on entorhinal cortex kindled seizures was investigated. material and methods: animals were kindled by daily electrical stimutation of entorhinal cortex. in the full kindled animals, n6-cyclohexyladenosine (cha 10, 50, 100, 500óm), an adenosine a1 receptor agonist and 8-cyclopentyl- 1, 3, dimethylxanthine (cpt, 10, 20 óm), an adeno...

Duration Calculus (DC) is a real-time logic with measurement of duration of propositions in observation intervals. It is a highly expressive logic with continuous time behaviours (also called signals) as its models. Validity checking of DC is undecidable. We propose a method for validity checking of Duration Calculus by reduction to a sampled time version of this logic called well sampled Inter...

carbohydrate flow between vegetative and reproductive parts of trees is one of the determining factors of yield and fruit quality. therefore, it varies during different times of growth season. the aim of this study was to investigate the carbohydrate content variation during growth season between leaf and fruit of nectarine. so, eight nectarine trees cv. red gold selected randomly in the orchar...

Not enough attention has been paid to the comparison in yield performance and N responsiveness between hybrid rice inbred using large number of new cultivars released after 2000 under machine transplanting. Field experiments were conducted 2017 2018; 48 widely planted included four groups, namely indica hybrids (IHs), japonica inbreds (JIs), indica-japonica (IJHs), (IIs) that transplanted by wi...

The present study was carried out in a field located at Department of Botany, University of Karachi where soil was treated with various concentrations of pesticides before sowing. Combined effects of pesticides on soybean growth and nutritive composition of seeds were observed. Pesticide treated soil had significant effects on leaf growth components such as leaf area ratio, leaf area index, spe...

We generate space-time coupled attosecond pulse trains with a 1.8 μm wavelength laser pulse using the ‘attosecond lighthouse’ technique. We show low divergence, spatially well-separated beamlets from low ionization potential gas media. We also find that there is little long trajectory contribution—only the short trajectory contribution is clearly visible for any beamlet. These results open a ne...

This work describes a cryogenic, electro-optically -switched Yb:YAG laser that generates 114-W average TEM power with 47% optical-to-optical efficiency. Pulse repetition frequency is 5 kHz, pulse duration is 16 ns full-width at half-maximum, and is less than 1.05.

Skeletal growth depends upon enchondral ossification in growth plate cartilage, within which chondrocytes undergo well defined stages of maturation. We infused IGF-I or growth hormone (GH), two key regulators of skeletal growth, into hypophysectomized rats and compared their effects on growth plate chondrocyte differentiation using qualitative and quantitative autoradiography, stereology, and i...
