Development of HVDC Gas-Insulated Components for the Power Supply of Neutral Beam Injectors
The development of High Voltage Direct Current Gas-Insulated components that will be employed for the power supply of Neutral Beam Injectors, requires specific numerical tools to analyze the electric field distribution, with the purpose of supporting the

A Transgenic Rat for Investigating the Anatomy and Function of Corticotrophin Releasing Factor Circuits. [PDF]
Corticotrophin-releasing factor (CRF) is a 41 amino acid neuropeptide that coordinates adaptive responses to stress. CRF projections from neurons in the central nucleus of the amygdala (CeA) to the brainstem are of particular interest for their role in ...

Optimal germination conditions for monitoring seed viability in wild populations of fescues
Aim of study: Germination assays are vital in the management of material preserved in germplasm banks. The rules published by the International Seed Testing Association (ISTA) are generally those followed in such assays.

Augmented Cocaine Seeking in Response to Stress or CRF Delivered into the Ventral Tegmental Area Following Long-Access Self-Administration Is Mediated by CRF Receptor Type 1 But Not CRF Receptor Type 2 [PDF]
Stressful events are determinants of relapse in recovering cocaine addicts. Excessive cocaine use may increase susceptibility to stressor-induced relapse through alterations in brain corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) regulation of neurocircuitry ...

Linking cardiorespiratory fitness classification criteria to early subclinical atherosclerosis in children [PDF]
It is unclear if cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) can be used as a screening tool for premature changes in carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) in paediatric populations.

Affiliated Fusion Conditional Random Field for Urban UAV Image Semantic Segmentation
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) have had significant progress in the last decade, which is applied to many relevant fields because of the progress of aerial image processing and the convenience to explore areas that men cannot reach.

CRF and urocortin peptides as modulators of energy balance and feeding behavior during stress. [PDF]
Early on, corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF), a hallmark brain peptide mediating many components of the stress response, was shown to affect food intake inducing a robust anorexigenic response when injected into the rodent brain.

The association between cardiorespiratory fitness and cardiometabolic risk in children is mediated by abdominal adiposity: the HAPPY study [PDF]
Background: It is unclear whether cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) is independently linked to cardiometabolic risk in children. This study investigated a) the association between CRF level and presence of cardiometabolic risk disorders using health ...
