Motion of Floating Caisson with Extended Bottom Slab under Regular and Irregular Waves

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021
Floating caissons may oscillate primarily due to ocean waves during towing operations. Reducing the oscillation based on the extension part (footing) of the bottom slab of the caissons can efficiently increase the safety of towing maneuvers. However, the

Involvement of Adenosine A2a Receptor in Intraocular Pressure Decrease Induced by 2-(1-Octyn-1-yl)adenosine or 2-(6-Cyano-1-hexyn-1-yl)adenosine

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2005
The aim of the present study is to clarify the mechanism for the decrease in intraocular pressure by 2-alkynyladenosine derivatives in rabbits. The receptor binding analysis revealed that 2-(1-octyn-1-yl)adenosine (2-O-Ado) and 2-(6-cyano-1-hexyn-1-yl ...
