Striatal-enriched protein tyrosine phosphatase modulates nociception: evidence from genetic deletion and pharmacological inhibition
(International Association for the Study of Pain, 2016-02)
The information from nociceptors is processed in the dorsal horn of the spinal cord by complex circuits involving excitatory and inhibitory interneurons. It is well documented that GluN2B and ERK1/2 phosphorylation contributes ...
Social instability in female rodents as a model of stress related disorders: A systematic review
(Elsevier, 2018-09-06)
The risk of developing stress related disorders such as depression is two times higher in women than in men, and social stress is considered the principal etiology for this disorder. Social defeat animal model is the most ...
Sensitivity Studies for a Hybrid Numerical-Statistical Short-Term Wind and Gust Forecast at Three Locations in the Basque Country (Spain)
(MDPI, 2019-12-29)
This study evaluates the performance of statistical models applied to the output of numerical models for short-term (1–24 h) hourly wind forecasts at three locations in the Basque Country. The target variables are horizontal ...
Parametric study of low-profile vortex generators
(Elsevier, 2017-07-13)
Vortex generators (VGs) are flow control devices employed to avoid or delay flow separation. In most cases, the VG is calculated with the same height as the boundary layer (BL) thickness at the device position. However, ...
Assessment of the influence of façade location and orientation in indoor environment of double-skin building envelopes with perforated metal sheets
(Elsevier, 2019-08-03)
Double-skin perforated sheet façades, enclosures consisting of perforated screens, air chambers and glass/wall sheets, are features of modern building design that are winning greater acceptance. A detailed analysis of their ...
Steam reforming of the bio-oil aqueous fraction in a fluidized bed reactor with in situ CO2 capture
(ACS, 2013-11-11)
The effect of CO2 capture in the hydrogen production by steam reforming of the bio-oil aqueous fraction was studied. The reforming and cracking activity of the adsorbent (dolomite) and relationship between these reactions ...
Noncoding RNA-related polymorphisms in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia susceptibility
(Springer, 2014-03-11)
Background: Evidence for an inherited genetic risk for pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia has been provided in several studies. Most of them focused on coding regions. However, those regions represent only 1.5% of the ...
Stability of an acid activated carbon based bifunctional catalyst for the raw bio-oil hydrodeoxygenation
(Elsevier, 2016-10-11)
The performance (activity, selectivity and stability) of a Pt-Pd catalyst supported on a phosphorus-containing activated carbon (ACP) has been studied in the hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of raw bio-oil, and compared with another ...
Performance enhancement of the artificial neural network– based reinforcement learning for wind turbine yaw control
(Wiley, 2019-11-03)
The yaw angle control of a wind turbine allows maximization of the power absorbed
from the wind and, thus, the increment of the system efficiency. Conventionally, classical
control algorithms have been used for the yaw ...
Docosahexaenoic acid reduces cerebral damage and ameliorates long-term cognitive impairments caused by neonatal hypoxia-ischemia in rats
(Springer, 2011-10-29)
As the interest in the neuroprotective possibilities
of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) for brain injury has grown in the recent years, we aimed to investigate the long-term effects of this fatty acid in an experimental model ...
