GABA and norepinephrine inhibit high voltage-activated calcium current in chick sensory neurons. Using specific pharmacological tools, we have dissected this current into two components: the major one is omega-conotoxin sensitive and dihydropyridine resistant (N-type) while the minor one is dihydropyridine sensitively and omega-conotoxin resistant (L-type). The ability to selectively eliminate ...

We reported data concerning the Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) based metabolomic analysis of amniotic fluid (AF) samples obtained from pregnant women infected with Human Cytomegalovirus (HCMV). These data support the publication "Primary HCMV Infection in Pregnancy from Classic Data towards Metabolomics: an Exploratory analysis" (C. Fattuoni, F. Palmas, A. Noto, L. Barberini, M. M...

The aim of the work was to demonstrate structures responsible for the conduction of pain impulses with regard to tight junctions after transmission of small charges of electric current. For the experiment, freshly extracted (for orthodontic reasons) teeth were used. Immediately after extraction, low charges of electric current were passed through the teeth and the teeth were fixed. Teeth pulps ...

The stochastic observability of simultaneous receiver and transmitter localization is studied. A mobile vehicle-mounted receiver is assumed to draw pseudorange measurements from multiple unknown radio frequency (RF) transmitters and to fuse these measurements through an extended Kalman filter (EKF) to simultaneously localize the receiver and transmitters together with estimating the receiver’s ...

This paper describes and discusses the results of tests carried out on two families of PDM (Pulse Duration Modulation) AM transmitters. A variety of tests have been done using two tone techniques to evaluate the transmitters for linearity. Testing was carried out both into a 50 ohm resistive load and into a bandpass load to simulate the effects of a limited bandwidth antenna as proposed by USA ...

Wireless communication is inherently vulnerable in nature and packets can be corrupted due to various reasons. The network performance can potentially be improved if one is able to identify the reasons for packet corruption and react to them accordingly. However, none of the current wireless protocols do so. In this paper, we design a novel scheme to diagnose packet corruption in OFDM wireless ...
