Cannabinoids have been reported to be involved in affecting various biological functions through binding with cannabinoid receptors type 1 (CB1) and 2 (CB2). The present study was designed to investigate whether swallowing, an essential component of feeding behavior, is modulated after the administration of cannabinoid. The swallowing reflex evoked by the repetitive electrical stimulation of th...

This essay discusses the practical aspects of mediation and arbitration. The article outlines effective steps to implement win-win, win-lose, lose-win, lose-lose negotiation strategies. It is posited that with a win-win strategy, job mediator or arbitrator find scenario acceptable both sides. role when parties are engaging in strategies different at least one not seeking win for all In particul...

The aim of using electromechanical air conditioning in buildings is to maintain thermal comfort for its occupants; however, this type represents 40% the total energy consumption a building, generating economic and environmental impacts, because fossil fuels are main source energy. To reduce use conditioning, it possible take advantage climatic conditions region improve performance. Due small nu...

The proliferation of sensing and monitoring applications motivates adoption of the event stream model of computation. Though sliding windows are widely used to facilitate effective event stream processing, it is greatly challenged when the event sources are distributed and asynchronous. To address this challenge, we first show that the snapshots of the asynchronous event streams within the slid...

This paper suggests a method how to predict electric lighting energy savings for photocell controls in daylit spaces taking manual blind control into account. The method predicts lower but supposedly more “realistic” lighting energy savings than conventional simulation approaches. On the other hand, predicted savings are larger than those predicted by ASHRAE 90.1 power adjustment factors. The m...

Thermal comfort is a part of indoor environmental quality that should be considered to ensure the occupants' well-being. Unconducive buildings not only bring occupants discomfort but also tend affect health, disrupt process teaching and learning, reduce work productivity. Thus, this study determines thermal condition existing workshop used in Technical Vocational Education Training (TVET) imple...

The paper presents the integrated application of two methods during testing HVAC system efficiency in cabins HUMMER ?1151A1 and OAR 1RL-128D off-road vehicles. Spatial measurements change air temperature per time have been performed at three vertical levels (head, knees, feet) driver passengers, which totals to 15 measuring points vehicle. main goal was evaluate accurately heating cooling relat...

In the present research, performance validation of a Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system operating in a library building was conducted. The operating HVAC system was studied in terms of the provided indoor air conditions and energy consumption level. The fieldwork measurements showed that the HVAC system is not capable of providing the desired indoor air conditions based on...

The conventional reporting of composite endpoints in clinical trials has an inherent limitation in that it emphasizes each patient's first event, which is often the outcome of lesser clinical importance. To overcome this problem, we introduce the concept of the win ratio for reporting composite endpoints. Patients in the new treatment and control groups are formed into matched pairs based on th...

(b) We do several iterations of eliminating strictly dominated strategies. First, note that when v < 75, bidding 75 is strictly dominated: regardless of the other bidder’s strategy, you will win the auction at least half the time, giving strictly negative payoff, while bidding 0 ensures a payoff of 0. Second, assume your opponent never bids 75 unless his value is at least 75. Then a bid of 50 w...
