The authors examined whether responses of the 2 hands were completely unitized when participants (N = 36) produced bimanual responses to lateralized targets in a Simon-type paradigm. Their primary aim was to investigate whether lateralized stimuli differentially influence the response dynamics of the 2 hands. Simon effects were obtained in reaction time and force; components of the bimanual res...

The effects of growth factors have been shown to depend on the position of a cell in the cell cycle. However, the physiological basis for this phenomenon remains unclear. Here we show that the majority of both CEINGE clone3 (cl3) and human embryonic kidney 293 cells, when arrested in a quiescent phase (G0), responded to platelet-derived growth factor BB (PDGF-BB) with non-oscillatory Ca signals...

In this paper, validated simulations using Ricardo WAVE have been performed to investigate the effect of Miller cycle and low-carbon fuels on performance (power, torque, BTE BSFC) emissions a diesel engine. The results show that increased (larger deviation advanced or retarded intake valve closing from standard time) will decrease NOx, CO HC emissions, slightly improve brake thermal efficiency ...

ion made from these limitations and weaknesses, independently from the form administered, lavender oil seems to positively influence anxiety and stress-related restlessness. However, the peroral use of lavender oil cannot be accepted as well-established use, as the essential factors to be taken into account in order to establish a well-established medicinal use (according to Annex I of Directiv...

The exhaust after-treatment (EAT) threshold temperature is a significant concern for highway vehicles to meet the strict emission norms. Particularly at cold engine start and low loads, EAT needs be improved above 250 °C reduce tailpipe rates. Conventional strategies such as electrical heating, throttling, or late fuel injection mostly need high penalty fast warmup. objective of this work demon...
