Many of the pharmacological effects of Delta(9)-tetrahydrocannabinol are mediated through CB(1) and CB(2) cannabinoid receptors. However, with the discovery of endogenous cannabinoids, some discrepancies have arisen. Furthermore, unlike the CB(1) receptor, the sequences of the mouse and human CB(2) receptor are divergent, raising the possibility of species specificity. The gene for the rat CB(2...

Multiview video coding (MVC) plays an important role in threedimensional audio-video (3DAV) systems. Multiview video display systems are built to provide interactive video services and quality of services (QoS) provided by the system is currently under consideration. MVC encoder uses advanced coding schemes and group of GOP (GoGOP) structure to pursue high compressibility. There is a conflict b...

Negative compressibility is a sign of thermodynamic instability of open or non-equilibrium systems. In quantum materials consisting of multiple mutually coupled subsystems, the compressibility of one subsystem can be negative if it is countered by positive compressibility of the others. Manifestations of this effect have so far been limited to low-dimensional dilute electron systems. Here, we p...

(2015) Editorial: Carotid body: a new target for rescuing neural control of cardiorespiratory balance in disease. The carotid body (CB) is considered the main arterial chemoreceptor. Interestingly, the CB respond to a large repertoire of stimuli that can elicit a reflex cardiorespiratory response. For this reason, the pathophysiological role played by alterations in CB function during disease c...

The reoxidation rate of sponge iron pellets and briquettes and oxidation of pure iron powder with compressibility between 27% and 55% in air and within the temperature range 300-900°C has been investigated. Factors affecting the oxidation rate are presented. These include the effect of temperature, compressibility, and sintering of Fe-powder before and during the oxidation.

The effects of compressibility on Rayleigh-Taylor instability (RTI) are investigated by inspecting the interplay between thermodynamic and hydrodynamic non-equilibrium phenomena (TNE, HNE, respectively) via a discrete Boltzmann model (DBM). Two effective approaches are presented, one tracking the evolution of the local TNE effects and the other focussing on the evolution of the mean temperature...

يدور هذا البحث حول الأطماع الفرنسية في مدينة غات ومحاولة الدولة العثمانية السيطرة عليها؛ فقد كانت فرنسا ترغب على المدينة فترة طويل من الزمن، وذلك خلال محاولاتها الكثيرة أجل التواصل مع المشايخ والزعماء المدينة، وعقد الاتفاقيات والمعاهدات معهم، وكذلك تحاول فرض ، والكثير المدن الجنوب الليبي تأمين الحدود الليبية لاسيما بعد أن استشعرت الخطر عندما احتلت الجزائر، و أصبحت بذلك بالقرب منها؛ ولذلك سعت لف...

Cardiac biomarkers (CB) were first developed for assisting the diagnosis of cardiac events, especially acute myocardial infarction. The discoveries of other CB, the better understanding of cardiac disease process and the advancement in detection technology has pushed the applications of CB beyond the 'diagnosis' boundary. Not only the measurements of CB are more sensitive, the applications have...

Twenty-six patients affected by Parkinson's disease were treated with a 2-Br-alpha-ergocriptine (CB 154): 14 cases were given CB 154 alone, and 12 were given CB 154 along with L-dopa plus benserazide (Madopar). Both CB 154 and combined therapy (CB 154+Madopar) induced a significant improvement in total disability score, tremor, rigidity, akinesia, self-sufficiency, and some motor performance te...
