Several studies revealed that orexins may take part in the regulation of the different forms of affective and cognitive processes during wakefulness. The orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) and anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) as an important part of the prefrontal cortex (PFC) have a crucial role in cognitive processes such as reward and decision-making and has a high density of orexin receptor type 1 (...

In this study the interaction between self-excited and paramet rically excited oscillations in two-degree-of-freedom systems with quadratic nonlinearities is investigated. The fundamental parametric resonance of the first mode and 3:1 internal resonance is considered, followed by 1:2 internal and parametric resonances of the second mode. The method of multiple time scales is applied to derive f...

time-dependent schrödinger equation for a 1-d model of hydrogen molecular ion h2+ in intenselaser field linearly polarized along the molecular axis is solved. ionization rates are calculated for differentinitial states. the evolution of electronic wavefunction at fixed inter-nuclear separations are simulated andanalyzed. the results obtained for the ground state of this 1-d model of h2+ show ap...

using a time-dependent-density functional theory (td-dft), configuration interaction singles (cis) and zerner’s intermediate neglect of differential overlap (zindo) methods, we have investigated the uv-visible spectra of one new intramolecular cyclization at before and after intramolecular attack. all structures were optimized at the b3lyp/6-311++g** level while uv-visible parameters were calcul...

atmospheric pressure plasma (app) is an emerging non thermal technology for the improvement of food  safety. non-thermal plasma (ntp) is a neutral ionized gas that comprises highly reactive spices including, positive ions, negative ions, free radicals, electrons, excited or non excited molecules and photons at or near room temperature. ntp can be generated at atmospheric pressure that makes it ...

dynamic behavior of the wind-excited-benchmark-building using semi-active electromagnetic friction dampers (saemfds), with modulated homogeneous friction algorithm is presented. the performance of the benchmark building is studied under across wind loads by installing the saemfds with smooth boundary layer semi-active friction (sblsaf) algorithm. the governing equations of motion are solved by ...

irradiation of &methyl; spiro [2.5] oct-7-en-4-one through its singlet excited state resulted in the formation of 4-methyl spiro [2.5] oct-4-en -6-one. we have used the cyclopropyl moiety in the molecule as a probe to study the operating mechanism in the photochemistry of ?, ?-unsaturated compounds. the results showed that this photoisomerization probably occurs through a concerted process.
