We studied the interaction between glucocorticoid (GC) level and sleep/wake state during memory consolidation. Recent research has accumulated evidence that sleep supports memory consolidation in a unique physiological process, qualitatively distinct from consolidation occurring during wakefulness. This appears particularly true for memories that rely on the hippocampus, a region with abundant ...

the flow characteristics around an elliptic cylinder with an axis ratio of ar=2 located near a flat plate were investigated experimentally. the elliptic cylinder was located on the inside and outside a turbulent boundary layer region whose thickness (δ) is 0.38b. the reynolds numbers based on the height of the cylinder cross-section were 15000 and 30000. measurements of mean velocity and turbul...

abstract background: the efficacy of anticonvulsants after a first seizure is uncertain the more predictable the time and the type of recunent seizure, the more preventable the probable events. this study was conducted to evaluate sirnilmity of type and time of a first seizure and its recuttence in children. methods: 174 children with at least two separate seizures were taken into account. resu...

emergence of primary signs of muslims uprising in tunisia, egypt, libya, bahrain, yemen, and, in a somehow limited form, in arabia and jordan against local tyranny and foreign colonization, made big powers and western expansionist countries to expropriate public movements to their own benefit and to deviate such movements from their true path. in fact, the matter of process or project nature of...

This research has been carried out to determine the marine propeller hydro-acoustic characteristics by Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) solver in both uniform and non-uniform wake flow at different operating conditions Wake flow can cause changes in pressure fluctuation and gas effect on propeller noise spectrum. Noise is generated by the induced trailing vortex wake and induced pressure ...

in this study, changes in speed and turbulence intensity in the wake of a peugeot model and the drag coefficient changes with increases vehicle speed in unsteady flow measured and evaluated. the blow open circuit wind tunnel to simulate fluid flow is used. disturbances and nominal maximum speed of the device, respectively is, 30 m / s and 0.01%. has been continuously increasing speed by an inve...

OBJECTIVES Conventional scoring of sleep provides little information about the process of transitioning between vigilance states. We applied the state space technique (SST) using frequency band ratios to follow normal maturation of different sleep/wake states, velocities of movements, and transitions between states of juvenile (postnatal day 34, P34) and young adult rats (P71). DESIGN 24-h sl...

The structure of sleep across the night as expressed by the hypnogram, is characterised by repeated transitions between the different states of vigilance: wake, light and deep non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep, and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. This review is concerned with current knowledge on these state transitions, focusing primarily on those findings that allow the integration of data ...
