Several studies revealed that orexins may take part in the regulation of the different forms of affective and cognitive processes during wakefulness. The orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) and anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) as an important part of the prefrontal cortex (PFC) have a crucial role in cognitive processes such as reward and decision-making and has a high density of orexin receptor type 1 (...

We have developed a comprehensive modeling network for a millisecond pulsed glow discharge in argon (Ar) with copper (Cu) cathode, to describe the behavior of the various plasma species. Typical results of the model are shown, such as the potential distribution during and after the pulse, the densities of Ar ions, Ar atoms in the metastable and various other excited levels, Cu atoms and Cu ions...

We studied the hadronic decays of excited states of heavy mesons (D, Ds, B and Bs) to lighter states by emission of π, η or K. Wavefunctions and energy levels of these excited states are determined using a Dirac equation for the light quark in the potential generated by the heavy quark (including first order corrections in the heavy quark expansion). Transition amplitudes are computed in the co...

Photoacoustic detection has b~en used to monitor a stimulated emission pumping process in p-difluorobenzene. Using the A B 2u 5 1 state as an intermediate, several vibrational levels of the ground electronic state were populated. The photoacoustic method is an attractive alternative to other detection techniques because of its sensitivity, simplicity, and its ability to differentiate between st...

We calculate the recombination spectra of the He-also account for the effects of lowering of the continuum at high densities and high density corrections to dielectronic recombination. From the populations of all levels in the recombined ions we construct models for He-like ions for fast computation of their spectra. Every model includes 29 bound levels up to n=5, a pair of " superlevels " whic...

In its ground state, rubidium (Rb) has a single 5s electron outside a closed shell; the principal structure of its excited states is therefore similar to that of hydrogen. The first excited state is split in two by the spin-orbit interaction, and each of these levels is split further by the hyperfine interaction. Neglecting relativistic and reduced-mass effects, the Hamiltonian consists of four...
