Neostigmine Attenuates Proinflammatory Cytokine Expression in Preoptic Area but Not Choroid Plexus during Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Systemic Inflammation by Andrzej P. Herman, Dorota Tomaszewska-Zaremba, Marta Kowalewska, Aleksandra Szczepkowska, Małgorzata Oleszkiewicz, Agata Krawczyńska, Maciej Wójcik, Hanna Antushevich, Janina Skipor

“…Neostigmine suppressed (p<0.05) LPS-stimulated synthesis of cytokines such as interleukin- (IL-) 1β, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) α in the POA, and this effect was similar to that induced by the treatment with systemic AChE inhibitor—donepezil (2.5 mg/animal). …”

Efficiency improvement in standalone solar PV water pumping system by pulsating pump operation based on intermediate supercapacitor buffer by Yurii Biletskyi, Ihor Shchur

“…This paper investigates the basic traditional configuration that consists of a PV module, a DC-DC converter performing its maximum power point tracking (MPPT), and a brushless DC motor (BLDCM) driving a centrifugal pump (CP). The conducted simulation studies on the developed model in the SimScape multiphysical library of the Matlab/Simulink environment shows that such a direct driven SPVWPS is characterized by a very low overall efficiency, and its operating range of solar irradiance starts from only 450 W/m2. …”

Growth, Development, and Water Consumption of Irrigated Bean Crop Related to Growing Degree-Days on Different Soil Tillage Systems in Southeast Brazil by Gerson Araujo de Medeiros, Luiz Antonio Daniel, Felipe Hashimoto Fengler

“…The objective of this research was to evaluate the relation between cumulative degree-days index (∑G) and the development, growth, and water consumption of irrigated bean under different soil tillage systems (STS). We developed an experiment in Southeast Brazil in plots managed with the following STS: chisel ploughing (CP), disk ploughing (DP), and revolving hoe (RH). …”
