in the current study, we assessed the role of transient receptor potential (trp) channels on avoidance memory and anxiety states in ca3 area of the hippocampus. we explored the anxiety and avoidance memory states using test-retest protocol in the elevated plus maze to understand whether trp channels can affect the above mentioned states in ca3 area. to investigate the consolidation phase of mem...

I. G. Doran and J. D. McKinley, Queen’s University Belfast The paper proposes the use of an approximation, suggested by Hansen, to the exact analytical solution of the Terzaghi consolidation equation, as the basis for the determination of the coefficient of consolidation from the results of a consolidation test using a least squares error adjustment procedure. This is an area of considerable pr...

Server consolidation of virtual machines is very much essential in a cloud environment for energy conservation and cost cutting . Consolidation can be achieved through live migration of virtual machines. We propose a modified bin packing algorithm for Server Consolidation that avoids unnecessary migrations and minimizes the instantiation of new physical servers. We implement ideas from the Firs...

The influence of the blockade of group I metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) by AIDA [(RS)-1-aminoindan-1,5-dicarboxylic acid] on some behavioral effects was tested in control groups of rats and in rats that underwent short-term hypoxia. We used the following methods: the open field test, the passive avoidance test and the elevated "plus" maze test. In rats without hypoxia, AIDA (100 nmol...

Following training, motor memory consolidation is thought to involve either memory stabilization or off-line learning processes. The extent to which memory stabilization or off-line learning relies on post-training wakeful periods or sleep is not clear and thus, novel research approaches are needed to further explore the conditions that promote motor memory consolidation. The present experiment...

OBJECTIVE To determine if sleep talkers with REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) would utter during REM sleep sentences learned before sleep, and to evaluate their verbal memory consolidation during sleep. METHODS Eighteen patients with RBD and 10 controls performed two verbal memory tasks (16 words from the Free and Cued Selective Reminding Test and a 220-263 word long modified Story Recall Te...

The brain encodes huge amounts of information, but only a small fraction is stored for a longer time. There is now compelling evidence that the long-term storage of memories preferentially occurs during sleep. However, the factors mediating the selectivity of sleep-associated memory consolidation are poorly understood. Here, we show that the mere expectancy that a memory will be used in a futur...

In the content of this study, non-linear consolidation behavior of unsaturated soils was investigated. In this respect a non linear differential equation for consolidation has been proposed. This proposed differential equation and its solutions enlighten both the diffusive characteristics and the time rate of settlement of soils. Besides, this study also enables to perform the matric suction ca...

many factors are involved in learning and memory processes including brain nuclei, neurotransmitter systems, and the activity of ion channels. studies showed inconsistent effects of calcium channel blockers on learning process, especially memory consolidation; however, little is known about their effect on memory acquisition and retrieval. accordingly, the present study aimed to determine the e...
