Based on a variety of recent findings, the Grueneberg ganglion (GG) in the vestibule of the nasal cavity is considered as an olfactory compartment. However, defined chemical substances that activate GG neurons have not been identified. In this study, the responsiveness of murine GG cells to odorants was examined by monitoring the expression of the activity-dependent gene c-Fos. Testing a number...

The univariate discrete moment problem (DMP) is to find the minimum and/or maximum of the expected value of a function of a random variable which has a discrete finite support. The probability distribution is unknown, but some of the moments are given. This problem is an ill-conditioned LP, but it can be solved by the dual method presented in Prékopa (1990). The multivariate discrete moment pro...

Condensation reactions of carboxylic acids and anilines in the presence of polyphosphoric acid trimethylsilyl ester (PPSE) afforded a range of sterically demanding N,N'-bis(aryl)amidines, RN{C(R')}N(H)R [R = Mes (Mes = 2,4,6-trimethylphenyl), R' = Cy (Cy = cyclohexyl) L¹H; R = Dipp (Dipp = 2,6-diisopropylphenyl), R' = Cy L²H; R = Mes, R' = Ph L³H; R = Dipp, R' = Ph L⁴H; R = Mes, R' = Dmp (Dmp =...

Purpose At the end of a building’s lifecycle, there are several limitations to decision-making process (DMP). There is lack data available from history, difficulty in assessing condition building and variety stakeholders’ needs that have be satisfied. The purpose this paper answer question: how would end-of-life (EOL) DMP change when buildings will been digitally built? illustrated through conc...

Phthalate acid esters (PAEs) are widely used as raw materials for industries that well known their environmental contamination and toxicological effects “endocrine disruptors”. The determining of PAE was based on analysis dimethyl phthalate (DMP), diethyl (DEP), dipropyl (DPP), dibutyl (DBP), diisobutyl (DiBP), dicyclohexyl (DCHP) di(2-ethylhexyl) (DEHP) in wastewater sediment samples collected...

The determination of practical and coherent policy to pin down the price in restructured distribution networks should be considered as a momentous topic. The present paper introduces a new method of distribution marginal price (DMP) calculation. The main aim of this paper is to evaluate the DMP for both producers and consumers separately. For this purpose, the first part of the procedure emphas...

In order to solve the problem of environmental health hazards caused by phthalate esters, a series pure Bi2O2CO3 and light (La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm Eu) heavy (Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb Lu) rare earth-doped samples were prepared hydrothermal method. The crystalline phase composition physical structure calcined at 300 °C studied, we found that earth ion doping promoted transformation β-Bi2O3 phase, t...
