Norbormide is a toxicant selective for rats to which it induces a widespread vasoconstriction.In a recent paper, we hypothesized a role of ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channels in norbormide-induced vasoconstriction.The current study was undertaken to verify this hypothesis by comparing the effects of norbormide with those of glibenclamide, a kno
Most of the existing methods of pile settlement calculation, including normative methods, do not fully take into account the processes occurring in the soil when loads are transferred to them and the changes in the properties of the contact zone soils.This leads to underutilisation of the bearing capacity of the soil, and the calculated settlement
There are an estimated 800,000 small reservoirs globally with a range of uses.Given the collective importance of these reservoirs to water resource management and wider society, it Shorts is essential that we can monitor and understand the hydrological dynamics of ungauged reservoirs, particularly in a changing climate.However, unlike large reservo
