Abstract Background Classically, progesterone has been thought to act only through the well-known genomic pathway involving hormone binding to nuclear receptors and subsequent modulation of gene expression.However, there is increasing evidence for rapid, non-genomic effects of progesterone in a variety of mammalian tissues and it is possible that a
The overall thermal performance of a Parabolic Trough Collector (PTC) Cooling Racks/Grates depends on its optical performance, particularly the uniformity of the irradiance distribution and the resultant optical efficiency of the collector.Local Concentration Ratio (LCR), optical efficiency and average light concentration are three fundamental para
The first week of December 1876 was marked by extreme weather conditions that affected the south-western sector of the Iberian Peninsula, leading to an all-time record flow in two large international rivers.As a direct consequence, several Portuguese and Spanish towns and villages located in the banks of both rivers suffered serious flood damage on
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) play a very important role in providing real-time data access for Big Data and Internet of Things applications.However, the open deployment, energy constraint, and lack of centralized administration make WSNs very vulnerable to various kinds of malicious attacks.In WSNs identifying malicious sensor devices and elimin
Event related potentials (ERPs) provide insight into the neural activity generated in response to motor, sensory and cognitive processes.Despite the increasing use of ERP data in clinical research little is known about the reliability of human manual ERP labelling methods.Intra-rater and inter-rater reliability were evaluated in five electroencepha
