The dynamic patterns of basal and stimulated hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) activity of freely moving female Lewis and Fischer 344 rats were compared using an automated blood-sampling system. Both strains showed pulsatile corticosterone release throughout the 24 h cycle. Lewis rats showed clear circadian variation in both pulse frequency (8.4 +/- 0.4 pulses between 1700-2300 h vs. 5.3 +/- ...

Citation: Fischer MH and Shaki S (2015) Two steps to space for numbers. The study of spatial-numerical associations (SNAs) is an active research project that was triggered by a landmark publication reporting several simple reaction time experiments: Adults classified visually presented numbers according to their parity by using left and right response keys (Dehaene et al., 1993). The main findi...

the kinetic of fischer-tropsch synthesis over a co-precipitated fe-ce catalyst was investigated in a fixed bed micro reactor. experimental conditions were varied as follow: reaction pressure 1-15bar, h¬¬¬2/co feed ratio of 1-3 and space velocity of 3600-5400 h-1 at the temperature range of 270-310°c. 4 models according to the langmuir-hinshelwood-hougen-watson (lhhw) type rate equation were der...

The present paper deals with a maximal subgroup of the Thompson group, namely the group 2 + A9 := G. We compute its conjugacy classes using the coset analysis method, its inertia factor groups and Fischer matrices, which are required for the computations of the character table of G by means of Clifford-Fischer Theory. AMS subject classifications: 20C15, 20C40

The purpose of this study is to examine the neurological differences in protein levels and concentrations in Autism. The following are two aspects that will be introduced to the field: (1) the utilization of the Fischer 344 rat as an animal model of Autism and (2) the evaluation of the protein tyrosine hyroxylase (TH). TH is the enzyme that catalyzes the conformation of L-tyrosine into LDOPA, t...
