Drugs of abuse regulate the expression of several genes involved in receptor regulation and signalling, transcription factors and cytoskeleton proteins. Due to its implication in long-term memory consolidation, rat hippocampus was selected to identify genes that are differently regulated by morphine and/or cocaine administration. The animals were randomly separated into four groups given saline...

exact petrography and mineral chemistry investigations of pristine and altered rocks of the post-eocene panj-kuh pluton show thatsubsequent to emplacement and crystallization, rocks were subjected to two secondary composition equivalents, sodic-calcic andpotassic alterations, respectively. fresh rocks have syenitic composition and contain plagioclase (labradorite), k-feldspar, magmaticdiopside,...

Plants grown on sodic soils can suffer from macronutrient deficiencies, such as calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), and potassium (K), reducing health growth. Nutrient concentrations in plant tissue could potentially provide a signal to identify cultivars tolerant conditions. However, conventional approaches diagnosing crop nutrient chlorophyll status involve determining total elemental content tissu...
