The effectiveness of θ pattern primed-bursts (PBs) on development of primed-burst (PB) potentiation was investigated in layer II/III of the adult rat visual cortex in vitro. Experiments were carried out in the visual cortical slices. Population excitatory post-synaptic potentials (pEPSPs) were evoked in layer II/III by stimulation of either white mater or layer IV. To induce long-term potenti...

Acid extract of Solanum tuberosum was tested as corrosion inhibitor for mild steel in 1 M HCl and H2SO4 media using different techniques: Weight loss (in different temperatures viz., 303, 313 and 323 K), Potentiodynamic polarization, Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) and SEM techniques. The studies reveal that the plant extract act as good inhibitors in both...

PURPOSE To analyse the relation between patients' body size and temperatures during locoregional hyperthermia for oesophageal cancer. METHODS Patients were treated with neo-adjuvant chemoradiotherapy plus hyperthermia, given with the AMC-4 waveguide system. Temperatures were measured at tumour location in the oesophageal lumen using multisensor thermocouple probes. Systemic temperature rise (...

high weissenberg boundary layer flow of viscoelastic fluids on a stretching surface has been studied. the flow is considered to be steady and two dimensional. flows of viscoelastic liquids at high weissenberg number exhibit stress boundary layers near walls. these boundary layers are caused by the memory of the fluid. upon proper scaling and by means of an exact similarity transformation, the n...

objective: drying is one of the most important post-harvesting processes in agriculture. drying method and also drying time have an important effect on the amount of energy required. in this study analysis of energy consumption for drying corn in dryer reservoir with flow of warm air and the effect of the temperature and height of product layer on the amount of energy consumption per unit mass ...

This paper focuses on the development of high temperatures in the cutting zone during high performance grinding. In order to identify the infl uence of grinding temperature on surface integrity, temperatures were measured in the workpiece surface layer under diff erent machining conditions. Beside this, under the same conditions, the surface layer properties of the workpiece material were deter...

Today a major environmental problem is global warming that is mainly caused due to exhaust and emission of gases. The only way to reduce their ill-effect is by improvement in fuel efficiency of I.C. engines, where most of the power is lost to overcome the friction. In this work, nanoporous anodized layer is formed on an aluminium substrate surface by anodization. Anodization was carried out at ...
