    Volcanic Tremor at Mt. Etna, Italy, Preceding and Accompanying the Eruption of July – August, 2001

    The July 17 – August 9, 2001 flank eruption of Mt. Etna was preceded and accompanied by remarkable changes in volcanic tremor. Based on the records of stations belonging to the permanent seismic network deploy...

    Agonist-induced internalization and desensitization of the human nociceptin receptor expressed in CHO cells

    In this study, we examined agonist-induced internalization, recycling and signalling (measure of cAMP levels) of the cloned human nociceptin receptor (hNOP) expressed in CHO-K1 cells. Internalization was prov...

    Volcanological inferences from seismic-strain tensor computations at Mt. Etna Volcano, Sicily

    Kostrov's (1974) algorithm for seismic-strain tensor computations, in the version implemented by Wyss et al. (1992a) for error estimates, has been applied to shear-type earthquakes occurring beneath the Etna ...

    Statistical analyses and characteristics of volcanic tremor on Stromboli Volcano (Italy)

     A study of volcanic tremor on Stromboli is carried out on the basis of data recorded daily between 1993 and 1995 by a permanent seismic station (STR) located 1.8 km away from the active craters. We also consi...

    Dynorphin-related peptides in central and peripheral tissues: distribution and possible functions

    Dynorphins are a family of opioid peptides deriving, by sequential proteolytic cleavage, from the precursor prodynorphin (1). They include: dynorphin A–(1–32) and the shorter fragments dynorphin A–(1–17) and d...

    Prostaglandins in the brain of rats given, acutely, and chronically, a hyperthermic dose of met-enkephalin

    An enhanced prostaglandinlike activity is shown in homogenates of brain from rats treated intracerebroventricularly with 100 μg of metenkephalin. The increase is significantly reduced by naloxone pretreatment....
