Human olfaction comprises the opposing actions of excitation and inhibition triggered by odorant molecules. In olfactory receptor neurons, odorant molecules not only trigger a G-protein-coupled signaling cascade but also generate various mechanisms to fine tune the odorant-induced current, including a low-selective odorant inhibition of the olfactory signal. This wide-range olfactory inhibition...

Cyclic nucleotide-gated (CNG) channels are key elements of cGMP- and cAMP-signaling pathways in vertebrate photoreceptor cells and in olfactory sensory neurons, respectively. These channels form heterooligomeric complexes composed of at least two distinct subunits (alpha and beta). The alpha subunit of cone photoreceptors is also present in mammalian sperm. Here we identify one short and severa...

Cyclic nucleotide-gated (CNG) channels are key elements of cGMPand cAMP-signaling pathways in vertebrate photoreceptor cells and in olfactory sensory neurons, respectively. These channels form heterooligomeric complexes composed of at least two distinct subunits ( a and b ). The a subunit of cone photoreceptors is also present in mammalian sperm. Here we identify one short and several long less...

The preparation of air–fuel mixture is considerably dependent on fluid flow dynamics to achieve improved performance, efficiency, and engine combustion in the appearance of flow. In this study, the effects of mixtures of hydrogen and compressed natural gas (CNG) on a spark ignition engine are numerically considered. This article presents the results of a direct-injection engine using methane–hy...

Water electrolyzed hydroxyl gas (HHO or Brown gas) and compressed natural (CNG) are the important promising alternatives to pure fossil fuels. The global concern is about GHG emission in environment ambient air pollution steered by mass consumption of fuels automobile industries power sectors. In this study, combustion, performance characteristics HHO CNG mixtures supplied intake manifold compr...

The roles of cyclic nucleotide-gated (CNG) channels in sensory transduction have long been recognized. More recent studies found that CNG channels are distributed in multiple brain regions involved in memory and learning, including the cortex, hippocampus and cerebellum. These findings suggest that their functions are not limited to sensory perception, but also to neuronal plasticity phenomena,...

Compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquefied petroleum (LPG) are included in the group of promoted transport fuel alternatives for traditional fossil fuels Europe. Both CNG LPG fueled vehicles believed to have low particle number mass emissions. Here, we studied solid (SPN) emissions >4 nm, >10 nm >23 bi-fuel applying CNG, gasoline laboratory at 23 °C sub-zero (−7 °C) ambient temperature...
