چکیده
Dedication I dedicate this dissertation to my mother and my father for helping me reach my goals, teaching me to have an open mind and allowing me to explore and be free, to my son Davor who is the light of my life, and Brady, my partner, my love, who always motivates me to be the best that I can be.

Implementation and Critical Investigation on Modulation Schemes of Three Phase Impedance Source Inverter
New control circuits and algorithms are frequently proposed to control the impedance (Z) source inverter in efficient way with added benefits. As a result, several modified control techniques have been proposed in recent years. Although these techniques are clearly superior to the simple boost control method which was initially proposed along with the Z-source inverter (ZSI), little or conf...
متن کاملAssessing the effect of intra-paragigantocellularis lateralis injection of 17β- estradiol on the acute and persistent pain in the male rat
Introduction: 17β-estradiol modulates nociception by binding to estrogenic receptors and also by allosteric interaction with other membrane-bound receptors like glutamate and GABAA receptors. Beside its autonomic functions, paragigantocellularis lateralis (LPGi) nucleus is also involved in pain modulation. The aim of the current study was to investigate the role of the intracellular estrogen...
متن کاملInteractions between Zinc and Allosteric Modulators of the Glycine Receptor.
The glycine receptor is a pentameric ligand-gated ion channel that is involved in fast inhibitory neurotransmission in the central nervous system. Zinc is an allosteric modulator of glycine receptor function, enhancing the effects of glycine at nanomolar to low-micromolar concentrations and inhibiting its effects at higher concentrations. Low-nanomolar concentrations of contaminating zinc in el...
متن کاملSniffer patch laser uncaging response (SPLURgE): an assay of regional differences in allosteric receptor modulation and neurotransmitter clearance.
Allosteric modulators exert actions on neurotransmitter receptors by positively or negatively altering the effective response of these receptors to their respective neurotransmitter. γ-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) type A ionotropic receptors (GABAARs) are major targets for allosteric modulators such as benzodiazepines, neurosteroids, and barbiturates. Analysis of substances that produce similar eff...
متن کاملMolecular Sites for the Positive Allosteric Modulation of Glycine Receptors by Endocannabinoids
Glycine receptors (GlyRs) are transmitter-gated anion channels of the Cys-loop superfamily which mediate synaptic inhibition at spinal and selected supraspinal sites. Although they serve pivotal functions in motor control and sensory processing, they have yet to be exploited as drug targets partly because of hitherto limited possibilities for allosteric control. Endocannabinoids (ECs) have rece...
