Data_Sheet_1_Screening effects of HCN channel blockers on sleep/wake behavior in zebrafish.PDF by Fusun Doldur-Balli (3459110)

“…Results of interest included shorter latency to daytime sleep at 0.1 μM dose of Ivabradine (ANOVA, p: 0.02), moderate reduction in average activity at 30 μM dose of Zatebradine Hydrochloride (ANOVA, p: 0.024) in daytime, and increased nighttime sleep at 4.5 μM dose of ZD7288 (ANOVA, p: 0.036). Taken together, shorter latency to daytime sleep, decrease in daytime activity and increased nighttime sleep indicate that different HCN channel antagonists affected different parameters of sleep and activity.…”

Distinct Temperature Trends in the Uptake of Gaseous <i>n</i>‑Butylamine on Two Solid Diacids by Yixin Li (1540552)

“…In contrast, the uptake coefficients on GA increase from 0.11 ± 0.04 at 298 K to 0.25 ± 0.04 at 248 K but then decrease to 0.030 ± 0.010 at 177 K. This unusual trend in temperature dependence of the uptake coefficient is due to formation of an ionic liquid (IL) layer upon the surface reaction of BA with GA, leading to a competition between the rate of desorption of BA and the rates of diffusion and reaction within the IL. …”
