Integrating Social Dimensions into Future Sustainable Energy Supply Networks.

Environmental protection and sustainable development have become an inevitable trend in many areas, including the energy industry. The development of energy supply networks is strongly correlated with the economics of energy sources as well as ecological and socio-political issues. However, the energy supply network is often distant from the social perspective.

Polypropylene Blends with m-EPR Copolymers: Mechanical and Rheological Properties.

The effects of two metallocene ethylene-propylene-based elastomers (m-EPR1 and m-EPR2) differing in molecular mass and viscosity on mechanical, rheological and interfacial properties were compared. The m-EPR elastomers were added to iPP in 2.5, 5, 10, 15, and 20 vol.

Effect of various neurotransmitters and electrical field stimulation on smooth muscle preparations from the esophagus of horses.

The effects of various neurotransmitters and electrical field stimulation on muscle strips from the distal equine esophagus were studied. Acetylcholine (ACH) caused concentration dependent (1.1-55 x 10(-6) mol/l) contractions of the longitudinal and circular muscle strips from the distal esophagus as well as from the lower esophageal sphincter (LES).

Effects of adrenaline, dopamine, serotonin, and different cholinergic agents on smooth muscle preparations from the ansa proximalis coli in cattle: studies in vitro.

The effects of adrenaline, dopamine, serotonin, and different cholinergic agents on isolated muscle strips from the ansa proximalis coli in cattle were studied. Adrenaline (5 x 10(-5) mol/l) evoked a relaxing effect (p < 0.05) on longitudinal and circular muscle strips, mediated via beta- and alpha 1-receptors respectively.

Effect of noradrenaline on smooth muscle strips from the reticular groove of adult cattle.

The effect of noradrenaline (NA) on smooth muscle strips from the reticular groove of adult cattle was studied. The mechanical activity of the muscle strips was recorded isometrically. Noradrenaline caused concentration dependent (1.
