Changes in mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR), and vascular resistance (hindquarter and mesenteric territories) in response to electrical stimulation (ES) of the aortic depressor nerve (ADN) were evaluated in conscious freely moving rats. Platinum electrodes were implanted into the ADN of all rats studied, and some of these animals were also implanted with miniaturized Doppler probes...

An active distribution network is an important development trend of the power grid with widespread use distributed generation. The reliability not negligible due to uninterruptible supply. In paper, evaluation method proposed in detail, based on combining roulette wheel selection and sequential Monte Carlo algorithm. uncertainty both generation load taken into consideration probability working ...

Mothers with obesity or gestational diabetes mellitus have low circulating levels of adiponectin (ADN) and frequently deliver large babies with increased fat mass, who are susceptible to perinatal complications and to development of metabolic syndrome later in life. It is currently unknown if the inverse correlation between maternal ADN and fetal growth reflects a cause-and-effect relationship....

Renewable energy sources (RESs) have a remarkable role in advancing the goals of restructured power systems to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increase level reliability. However, due non-uniform utilisation these resources various sectors grids, major part generated renewable energies is spilled satisfy system constraints. Motivated by this challenge, reconfiguration mechanism maximising R...

Abstract We model head direction (HD) cells in the rat’s limbic system. The intrinsic dynamics of the HD model is determined by a continuous attractor network based on spiking formal neurons. Synaptic excitation is mediated by NMDA and AMPA formal receptors, whereas inhibition is mediated by GABA receptors. We focus on the temporal aspects of state transitions of the HD system following reorien...
