The rhythmic motor pathway activation by pacemaker neurons or circuits in the brain has been proposed as the mechanism for the timing of motor coordination, and the abnormal potentiation of this mechanism may lead to a pathological tremor. Here, we show that the potentiation of Ca(V)3.1 T-type Ca(2+) channels in the inferior olive contributes to the onset of the tremor in a pharmacological mode...

A method is presented for measuring lipase activity in serum by use of either triolein or olive oil as substrate. The method requires 3 to 8 mm for each measurement and 5 to 8 mm for initial set-up. The reaction mixture is maintained at the optimum pH of 8.8 by automatic addition of sodium hydroxide (10 mmol/liter) with a ‘pH-Stat.” Amount of sodium hydroxide delivered per unit time reflects li...

The olive fruit fly, Bactrocera oleae (Rossi), is an economically important and endemic pest in olive (Oleae europae) orchards in Turkey. The aim of this study was to determine olive fruit fly infestation in different olive cultivars in the laboratory. Olive fly infested fruits were collected in Çanakkale province to establish wild fly population. After having reproductive olive fly colonies, 1...

Background & Aims of the Study: A high nitrate and arsenic concentration in water resources represent a potential risk to the environment and public health. The present work improved a chemo-physically modified activated carbon derived from walnut shells as an adsorbent to improve nitrate and arsenic removal ability from water. Materials & ...

• A range of complementary analytical techniques can determine composition tars. FT-ICR analysis showed that sulfur and nitrogen in the tar was low. Torrefaction viscosity similar to fossil-based resin binders. be used as a binder road asphalt or biomass briquettes. The advance methodology is critical for progress 1) biorefinery 2) torrefaction product commercialization. chemical characterisati...

In this study, the combustion of olive byproducts was investigated using TG-FTIR technique. Different types biomass were considered: twigs, leaves, olive-mill waste from two-phase decanting method, and wastewater three-phase system. The reaction regions, ignition, burnout temperatures at different heating rates determined TG/DTG analysis thermogravimetry results. Comprehensive combustion, burno...

Abstract The structural and physio-chemical properties of biochar are crucial to determining biochar’s quality the adequate application. Specifically, large porosity has been known as a favorable feature, especially for environmental remediation. In this regard, physical chemical modifications have used improve which requires high-energy consumption involves agents. objective study was prepare ...
