Our aim was to investigate the functional properties of the noradrenergic system in genetically modified mice lacking the norepinephrine transporter (NET). We measured the uptake and release of [ H]norepinephrine ([ H]NE) from hippocampal and cortical slices of NET / knock-out (KO) and NET / wild-type (WT) mice and investigated the presynaptic 2-adenoceptor-mediated modulation of NE release in ...

Tobacco is a salt-sensitive glycophyte crop species. In this work effect of silicone (Si) supplementation (1 mM as Na2SiO3) was studied in Nicotiana rustica L. cv. Basmas grown hydroponically in growth chamber under control, low (25 mM) and high (75 mM) NaCl concentration for two weeks. Dry matter production of leaves was depressed by salinity level as low as 25 mM and higher salt concentration...

The influence of NaNO2, HNO3 and H2SO4 on the structure and morphology of gamma-alumina was investigated by XRD, BET, SEM and FT-IR spectroscopy. Selected amounts of NaNO2, HNO3 and H2SO4 were added to a solution of aluminum isopropoxide (as a precursor for the boehmite synthesis). The boehmite samples were calcined at 350 and 600 ℃ to form the semi-crystalline high surface area gamma-Al2O3. Th...

The size selectivity of trammel nets was investigated in the northern Aegean Sea using 10 different inner-panel mesh sizes ranging from 16 to 70 mm nominal (bar length). Selectivity estimates were made for eight most abundant target and bycatch fish species, namely black scorpionfish, Scorpaena porcus Linnaeus, 1758; annular seabream, Diplodus annularis (Linnaeus, 1758); red mullet, Mullus barb...

In this study, we use institution-level data for the period 2004 to 2016 from Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System examine excess revenues of private, four-year nonprofit institutions. We present on magnitude these institutions over period, how are associated with different types private institutions, and within-institution affected by changes in time-varying factors, such as their si...

We present the VRAI-selectivity program which predicts major product and selectivity not only for transition-state controlled reactions but also processes by reaction dynamics.

In order to study of the effect of priming and salinity on physiological and chemical characteristics of wheat(Triticum aestivum L.), an experiment was carried out at the Experimental Farm of Shiraz University. Results showedthat primed plants significantly reduced its gas exchanges by accelerating senescence under a series of salt stress,which became more serious along with the increasing of s...

Direct orthogonal signal correction(DOSC) and Savitzky-Golay filters (SGF) were applied as preprocessing methods on the original and first derivative absorbance data. Principle component regression (PCR), partial least squares (PLS) and iterative target transformation factor analysis (ITTFA), were used in spectrophotometric simultaneous determination of heavy divalent metal ions, l...
