Several evidences have indicated that many nuclei in the brain have critical role in water intake. Angiotensin II is one of the most important neurotransmitters involved in regulation of fluid homeostasis. In this study, the interaction of i.c.v. injection of captopril and histamine on water intake in adult male water-deprived rats was investigated. Rats were implanted with guide cannula aimed ...

The paper presents the results of full-scale and experimental studies for applying a new design damping energy flow with lateral water intake. In article, method increasing efficiency intake calculation have been improved. proposed version according to method, compiled several assumptions, demonstrated possibility using such well damper high operational reliability aimed at structures. Recommen...

The basic elements of animal behavior that are critical to survival include energy, arousal, and motivation: Energy intake and expenditure are fundamental to all organisms for the performance of any type of function; according to the Yerkes-Dodson law, an optimal level of arousal is required for animals to perform normal functions; and motivation is critical to goal-oriented behaviors in higher...

Abstract Lateral intake structures suffer from sediment deposition and instability of flow path which may have a negative influence on the efficiency power plants that use river intakes as primary source for their cooling system. This study aims to experiment usage submerged vanes mitigation method determine effectiveness in decreasing deposition. A numerical model was constructed using DELFT3D...

BACKGROUND A community in northern Italy was previously reported to have an excess incidence of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis among residents exposed to high levels of inorganic selenium in their drinking water. METHODS To assess the extent to which such association persisted in the decade following its initial observation, we conducted a population-based case-control study encompassing forty...

Central effects of insulin on 20 min. food intake were studied in rats. Insulin administration in the lateral ventricular cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) did not alter food intake in the intact or lesioned ventromedial hypothalamus (VMH) rats. Whereas, after insulin injection in VMH there was a decrease in food intake. In VMH lesioned rats, subcutaneous injection of insulin increased food intake.

WOLF, GEORGE. Hypothalamic regulation of sodium intake: relations to preoptic and tegmental function. Am. J. Physiol. 213(G): 1433-1438. 1967.-Rats with lesions of the septum, lateral preoptic area, or ventral tegmental area of Tsai showed no impairment of sodium appetite after adrenalectomy, acute sodium depletion, or deoxycorticosterone treatment. Rats with lesions of the lateral hypothalamus...

One of the most important case in humanoid robot designing is hand, which it consider as an country development. High percentage of robot work quality depend on hand capability. A robot function increase with hand movement. One of important movement in artificial hand capability relate to fingers lateral movement. This case has more effect intake of special objects such as round shape or moving...
