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...

Olfactory masking has been used to erase the unpleasant sensation in human cultures for a long period of history. Here, we show a positive correlation between the human masking and the odorant suppression of the transduction current through the cyclic nucleotide-gated (CNG) and Ca2+-activated Cl- (Cl(Ca)) channels. Channels in the olfactory cilia were activated with the cytoplasmic photolysis o...

In this paper, nonlinear dynamical black-box models of a common rail injection system for a CNG engine are developed. In particular, the common rail pressure dynamics is modeled on the basis of three input signals, easily and cheaply measurable on board a vehicle. The nonlinear model is identified by means of Multi Layer Perceptron neural networks. Both non-autoregressive (NMAX) and autoregress...

Application of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) in diesel engines has always been important, especially in the field of automotive engineering. This is due to easy accessibility, better mixing quality and good combustion characteristics of the CNG fuel. In this study the application of CNG fuel along with diesel oil in a heavy duty direct-injection automotive diesel engine is experimentally investi...

Students of International Relations are taught that the modern nation-state has a monopoly on (legitimate) use violence. However, in case Republic Cyprus this does not seem to be case, since its armed forces, Cypriot National Guard (CNG), intimately embedded within Greece’s military structure, and half island remains under Turkish occupation. The colonization (1571–1960) subsequent decolonizati...

Further restrictions on the use of compression-ignition engines in transportation are prompting search for adaptations to run other fuels. One most popular alternative fuels is Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), which due its low carbon content can be competitive with classical This paper presents results testing a Cummins 6BT compression ignition engine that has undergone numerous modifications con...

this paper is the representation of the computational and experimental methods of a new injector nozzle for a sequential port injection cng engine. the objective of this study was to review the previous research in the development of gaseous fuel injector for port injection cng engine converted from diesel engine. next, a simulation of the fuel flow of the new injector nozzle was made using flu...
