introduction: the functional effects of orexin-b on the calcium spikes and excitability of the neuronal soma membrane of garden snail, helix aspersa were studied. methods: conventional intracellular recording, under the current clamp conditions was performed to examine the effects of orexin-b on the configuration and electrophysiological properties of calcium spikes. results: application of ore...

objective the associations between imperforate anus and spinal and vertebral abnormalities and neurologic deficits are well recognized; these neurologic deficits have been considered static rather than progressive. however, recent experience indicates that some patients may develop progressive neurologic problems due to spinal cord lesions that are amenable to neurosurgical correction. material...

The response of atmospheric blocks and the wave amplitude of midlatitude jets to changes in the midlatitude to pole, near-surface temperature difference (ΔT), is studied using an idealized dry general circulation model (GCM) with Held-Suarez forcing. Decreasing ΔT results in slower zonal winds, a mean state with reduced meridional gradient of the 500 hPa geopotential height (Z500), a smaller va...

Investigations of the anomalies in the Earth rotation, in particular, the polar motion components, play an important role in our understanding of the processes that drive changes in the Earth’s surface, interior, atmosphere, and ocean. This paper is primarily aimed at investigation of the Chandler wobble (CW) at the whole available 163-year interval to search for the major CW amplitude and phas...

The potential of high-temperature (>150°C) geothermal systems in crustal fault zones (fault cores and hundreds meters wide networks interconnected fractures the damage zone) is underestimated. Based on numerical models, we show that topography-driven, poroelasticity-driven as well buoyancy-driven forces play a significant role establishment shallow (1–4 km) thermal anomalies zones. We investiga...

An effective method of identifying and discriminating undersaturated gas accumulations remains unresolved, resulting in uncertainty hydrocarbon exploration. To address this problem, an unsupervised machine learning multi-attribute analysis is performed on 3D post-stack seismic data over several blocks within the deepwater Gulf Mexico Carnarvon Basin, offshore Australia. Results reveal that low-...
