this study was designed to investigate the role of gabab receptor agents on imipramine-induced antinociception in ligated and non-ligated mice using hot-plate test. the data showed that different doses of morphine (3, 6, and 9 mg/kg) induced a dose-dependent antinociception in ligated and non-ligated mice. however, the opioid response was decreased in ligated animals. intracerebroventricular (i...

this paper modeled heating air of a room through examining free convection in a 3d chamber. the chamber had cold and hot sources with tc and th temperatures, respectively. its other walls were adiabatic. this study aimed at predicting effect of temperature difference, displacement of hot and cold sources and their aspect ratio on flow field, temperature and heat transfer rate. to conduct the st...
