Feedforward loops (FFLs) are one of many network motifs identified in a variety of complex networks, but their functional role in neural networks is not well understood. We provide evidence that combinatorial actions of multiple modulators may be organized as FFLs to promote a specific network state in the Aplysia feeding motor network. The Aplysia feeding central pattern generator (CPG) receiv...

Continuous use of chemical fertilizers has deteriorated soil health and crop productivity. Replenishing nutrients microbial activity with eco-friendly amendments such as biochar manure is therefore necessary to sustain for production. However, studies are limited regarding the evaluation poultry effects on health, attributed mainly extracellular enzymes respiration. Therefore, present study was...

The use of high-strength sandy concrete (HSSC) is an alternative to crushed stone. Its profitable for those regions Russia in which stone imported building material. Thus, supplied the Republic Tatarstan (RT) from Ural, and local reserves sand are significant. Authors presented results studies determine economic efficiency solid columns’ erection one-story industrial buildings with bridge crane...

B20-type compounds, such as MnSi and FeGe, host helimagnetic skyrmion phases at the mesoscale, which are canonically explained by combination of ferromagnetic isotropic interactions with weaker chiral Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya ones. Mysteriously, MnGe evades this paradigm it displays a noncollinear magnetic state much shorter nanometer scale. Here we show that length scale volume-dependent properti...

The effects of producer gas (PG), hydrogen (H2), and neem oil methyl ester-blended fuel (NeOME B20) flow rate optimization on dual (DF) engine performance were examined in the current work. PG H2 used as primary fuels, while NeOME B20 was a secondary pilot DF engine. engine’s pollution levels optimized using response surface methodology (RSM) results compared with experimental values. full fact...

Desert palm date seeds are a potential feedstock for biodiesel and biomass pellet production, particularly in the Middle East Africa. A model was developed this study based on optimal conditions production of biodiesel, it used to evaluate financial viability small-scale plant (1000 t/y) using economic performance metrics including net present value, rate investment, payback period. Biodiesel t...

The Skyrmion state in epitaxial B20 FeGe(111) thin films, determined by the topological Hall effect, is greatly extended in the phase diagram to cover all temperatures up to the Curie temperature T(C)≈271 K and over a wide magnetic field range that includes a zero magnetic field. The properties of the Skyrmion phase can be controlled and manipulated by the film thickness, which has a strong eff...
