Introduction With the goal of promoting energy conservation and exploring forms of energy alternative to petrified sources, as well as of reducing environmental burden, much effort has been spent on developing new breeds of vehicles. These include Hybrid vehicles (HV) that run on a combined system of a fossil fuel engine and an electric motor, Plug-in HVs (PHVs) that allow recharging of the in-...

Etazolate is a selective inhibitor of type 4 phosphodiesterase (PDE4) class enzyme. Antidepressant-like effect of etazolate has been previously demonstrated in the rodent models of depression. The present study was designed to investigate the anxiolytic-like activity of etazolate in experimental mouse models of anxiety. The putative anxiolytic effect of etazolate (0.25-1 mg/kg, ip) was studied ...

the satellite battery pack is one of the important and vital parts that are required for conducting special design with multiple capabilities. some parameters like the minimum weight, lack of outgassing of parts, avoiding from short- circuit in batteries inside battery pack, the possibility for making series connection in batteries, and prevention from destroying battery pack structure caused b...

Energy management remains a critical problem in ad hoc networks since battery technology cannot keep up with rising expectations in wireless communications. Current approaches to energy conservation focus on reducing the energy consumption of the wireless interface either for a given communication task or during idling. However, these communication-time and idle-time approaches are not necessar...

The aim of this study was to describe the kinematical demands placed on soccer assistant referees during the 2003 U-17 World Championship, and to examine the relationship between the results in the fitness tests adopted by FIFA and match activities. Twenty-two international-level assistant referees were observed during 12 matches and computerized analysis of match activities was performed using...

objective: as domestic violence becomes increasingly recognized a widespread social problem, judicial system has begun playing larger roles in providing legal protection to these victims. one way they are doing this in the united states is through the use of protective restraining orders or injunctions. the purpose of this research was to determine if permanent injunctions for protection provid...
