Mating induces pronounced changes in female reproductive behavior, typically including a dramatic reduction in sexual receptivity. In Drosophila, postmating behavioral changes are triggered by sex peptide (SP), a male seminal fluid peptide that acts via a receptor (SPR) expressed in sensory neurons (SPSNs) of the female reproductive tract. Here, we identify second-order neurons that mediate the...

The Antarctic psychrophilic green alga Chlamy-domonas sp. UWO 241 is an emerging model for studying microbial adaptation to polar environments. However, little is known about its evolutionary history and its phylogenetic relationship with other chlamydomonadalean algae is equivocal. Here, we attempt to clarify the phylogenetic position of UWO 241, specifically with respect to Chlamydomonas rau-...

Voltage sags originating in ac supply systems can cause nuisance tripping of variable speed drives (VSDs) resulting in production loss and restarting delays. In ac VSDs having an uncontrolled rectifier front-end, the effects of voltage sags on the dc link causing dc under-voltage or ac overcurrent faults initiate the tripping. This paper suggests modifications in the control algorithm in order ...

The increasing need for device independence and personalization forces organizations to automatically adapt their Web Information Systems (WISs) to individual users and their client platforms. Moreover, the Web’s evolution to a dynamic interaction medium also requires such WISs to be self-adaptive, i.e. to dynamically adjust themselves to a constantly changing reality. Still, there are no gener...

Voltage sag is one of the crucial problems of power quality that affects high power devices. It may cause sensitive devices to malfunction and may increase the failure in power systems. An appropriate algorithm for identifying and positioning the voltage sag disorder is suggested in this study. This procedure identifies the voltage sag online and automatically and can identify the exact time an...

Onderstepoort Journal of Veterinary Research, 60: 458-462 The live modified rabies virus vaccine strain SAG-2 was selected from SAD Berne in a two step process employing anti-rabies glycoprotein monoclonal antibodies. The first two nucleotides coding for t...

Deep complex oil and gas reservoirs are the future directions of exploration. The exploration potential Paleocene deposits in Lufeng sag is enormous. However, due to greater burial depth accumulation conditions Paleocene, few large-scale have been discovered next strategy unclear. In this study, based on geological data Southern sag, a model hydrocarbon functional element control constructed us...

The mud shale of Qingshankou Formation in Songliao Basin is the main rock source and contains rich oil resources. successful development depends on evaluating optimizing “sweet spots”. To accurately identify optimize favorable sweet spots Formation, Basin, original logging data were preprocessed this paper. Then thin interlayer was identified effectively by using processed data. Based artificia...

This paper presents the custom power devices to improve the power quality by using a Distribution Static Compensator (DSTATCOM). Custom power is a technology driven product and service solution which embraces a family devices such as DSTATCOM. It describes the techniques of correcting the supply voltage sag in a distribution system by DSTATCOM. The steady state performance of system with or wit...
