Nitric oxide (NO) is a potent neuromodulator in the CNS and PNS. At the frog neuromuscular junction (nmj), exogenous application of NO reduces neurotransmitter release, and NO synthases (NOSs), the enzymes producing NO, are present at this synapse. This work aimed at studying the molecular mechanisms by which NO modulates synaptic efficacy at the nmj using electrophysiological recordings and Ca...

Polycrystalline films of CdxPb1−x S (0.021 ≤ x 0.090) supersaturated substitutional solid solutions with a cubic structure B1 (Fm3¯m space group) have been obtained varying cadmium acetate salt Cd(CH3COO)2 in the reaction mixture within 0.01−0.1 mol/l on sitall substrates. Their thickness changed from ∼ 0.4 to 1.0 microns. A correlation has established between structural-morphological and funct...

Nowadays, 80–90% of the components airplanes are composed aluminum alloys. Another material with a high level corrosion resistance and is utilized in aircraft AA5052. When exposed to natural environment, AA5052 forms an oxide layer that shields alloy from corrosion. However, this eroded corrodes more quickly harsh weather conditions where aeroplane operates. On substrate, multilayered nanostruc...
