drought as a natural but temporary imbalance of water availability is the interaction between natural environment and human life resulting in diminished water resources availability and reduced carrying capacity of the ecosystems. drought indices are essential elements for an efficient drought monitoring system. these indices make the transforming information of climatic anomalies easier and al...

conclusions the stereotactic brachytherapy for patients with circumscribed and relatively small size tumors appears to be a safe, feasible, and minimally-invasive treatment. results thirteen patients were male and 16 were female, with the median age of 29 years (range, 2.5 – 64 years). the median follow-up was 95 (range, 6 – 240) months. based on pignatti classification, 10 patients were at low...

phase sensitive detector described here has two principal applications: a- to produce a d.c out put proportional to- the amplitude of an incoming a,c signal and indicate, by the outut polarity, the phase of the signal with respect to an internal reference. b- to detect the presence of a signal of known phase and frequency which would otherwise be lost in «background noise» and to measure its am...

introduction: stress is associated with neurological and cognitive disorders. it has been suggested that doxepin, in addition to its influence on the content of neurotransmitters, has probable neuroprotective effects as well. therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of doxepin on synaptic plasticity and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (bdnf) gene expression in the rat h...

long-term potentiation (ltp) is a reflection of synaptic plasticity that induced by specific patterns of synaptic activity and has an important role in learning and memory. the first clue of the potential role of glutamate receptors in ltp was in 1991 with the observation that the mglur agonists 1-amino-1, 3-cyclopentanedicarboxylic acid (acpd), increased ltp. studies have shown that acpd induc...

Willomitzer J.: Therapy of Major Ectoparasitoses in Grasscarp (Ctenopharyngodon idella ) Fry and Fingerlings. Acta vet., 49, 1980: 279-282. Dipping, short-term and long-term baths in solutions of common substances (potassium permanganate, formaline, common salt) currently recommended for the control of ectoparasites of the genera Chilodonella, Trichodinella and Dactylogyrus in grasscarp fry and...

The term synaptic plasticity points to a series of persistent changes related to the activity of synapses. Long-term potentiation (LTP) is a reflection of synaptic plasticity that has an important role in learning and memory. LTP is a long-lasting increase of synaptic activity due to enhancement of excitatory synaptic transmission after a high-frequency train of electrical stimulations. Differe...
