We have previously observed that intracerebroventricular allopregnanolone (ALLO) injection produced an anxiolytic effect and inhibited sexual receptivity when the test was performed in a separate manner. Also, ALLO reverts learning deficit in female rats in the hippocampi. To study the behavioral effects of an acute treatment with ALLO in the right lateral ventricle we used two approaches: aA b...

Abstract Recycling of spent lithium (Li)-ion batteries has become a hot research topic due to its surge in the quantity and environmental problems. Herein we demonstrated new chemical configuration choline chloride-based deep eutectic solvent (DES) recover cobalt from oxide (LiCoO 2 ), representative cathode material for Li-ion battery. It was experimentally verified that leaching efficiency Co...

Using drones for cellular coverage enhancement is a recent technology that has shown great potential in various practical scenarios. However, one of the main challenges limits performance drone-enabled wireless networks limited flight time. In particular, due to on-board battery size, drone needs frequently interrupt its operation and fly back charging station recharge/replace battery. addition...

a total number of 67 workers of teheran battery workshops were investigated for probable lead absorption due to the working with lead storage batteries. twenty workers with other occupations were selected as control group. blood and urine analysis were carried out for both groups. lead content of the urine in about 95.5% of the subjects was below 10 μg/100 ml. two subjects showed higher concent...

Access to critical metals required for high-performance technologies, particularly, the light rare earth elements (REEs = La, Ce, Nd, Pr), has become a major challenge import-dependent economies such as European Union. In this regard, recycling of spent nickel metal hydride (Ni-MH) batteries by hydrometallurgical processes can serve an attractive secondary source REEs. processes, precipitation ...

Output power in a hybrid power system is constant while the input power with variable characteristics that is generated by different sources. Using Hybrid Electrical Energy Storage (HEES) systems, is growing rapidly since there is an obvious need for clean energy. This paper introduces different parts of a HEES system and then proposes HEES systems which employ battery, ultracapacitor and f...

The Energy Storage System (ESS) is an expensive component of an E-bike. The idea of Hybrid Energy Storage System (HESS), a combination between battery and Ultra-Capacitor (UC), can moderate the cost of E-bike ESS. In this paper, a cost function is developed to use for optimal sizing of a HESS. This cost function is consisted of the HESS (battery, UC and DC/DC converter) cost and the cost of bat...

Application of aromatic compounds has dramatically increased as raw materials in various industries and different factories have been established to produce aromatic compounds. The current research aims at characterizing industrial waste generation in aromatics production process in petrochemical industries and determining the best feasible alternative for waste disposal. For this purpose, the ...
