This study investigates the impact of design and operating conditions on performance a falling film grooved plate absorbers integrated in Lithium Bromide water absorption refrigeration machine. The component is described using two parameters: mass efficiency absorbed vapour flow rate per unit width. implements heat transfer model validated with specific experimental data. absorber effectiveness...

Compared to a photovoltaic array, photovoltaic/thermal concentrator module can produce thermal power for various productions in downstream cycles addition electrical energy. In this study, the system combined production of electricity, heat and cooling based on has been evaluated. triple system, lithium bromide-water absorption chiller with capacity 5 kW was used. organic Rankine generation cyc...

lithium is a drug used for the treatment of bipolar disorder. it has several mechanisms of action, and recently it is shown that lithium can antagonize the 5-ht1b/1d serotonin receptors. sumatriptan is a 5-ht1b/1d receptor agonist used for the treatment of cluster headaches and migraine which might cause memory impairment as a potential side effect. in this study, effects of lithium on sumatrip...

hormone-independent prostate cancer cell lines are resistant to antineoplastic drugs, this study sought to determine the usefulness of lithium chloride as an inhibitor of glycogen synthase kinase-3β to increase the cytotoxic effect of doxorubicin, etoposide or vinblastine antineoplastic drugs on du145 cells. combination effect was assessed by using low and ic50 doses of drugs + lithium chloride...

Introduction: Lithium salts are known as effective psychotropic medicine for treatment bipolar disorder and may be used to treat alcoholism, schizoaffective disorders, and cluster headaches. The antioxidant activity and immunomodulatory effects of prospective lithium compounds have been investigated in this work. Materials and Methods: The antioxidant properties were studied by the voltammetry...

Ultracentrifugal analyses of the native silk proteins extracted from the various parts of the middle silk gland of the mature silkworm have revealed that there exist four components with S degrees (20,w) values of 10S, 9-10S, 9S, and 4S in the extract. It is suggested that the fastest 10S component is the native fibroin synthesized in the posterior silk gland and transferred to the middle silk ...

These experiments examined the effects of pre-test intra dorsal hippocampus (intra-CA1) administration of GABAA receptor agonist and antagonist, muscimol and bicuculline respectively, on state-dependent learning induced by lithium. Male NMRI mice were trained in a one-trial step-down inhibitory avoidance task, and immediately after training they received IP injections of either saline (10 mL/kg...

Lithium is widely used in medicine as an anti-depressive drug. In spite of abundant literature, questions on the side effects of lithium ions are far from being answered. In this study, the effects of lithium on biochemical parameters related to lipid metabolism were investigated. Male Wistar rats were treated with different doses of lithium for a period of up to 60 days. Blood samples were col...
