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...

Automatic classification of volcanic earthquakes by using Multi-Layered neural networks
The application of neural networks as classifiers of seismic events is described with the aim of develo** an automatic system for the classification of ‘explosion quakes’ at the Stromboli volcano. The archit...

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...

Relationship between endogenour opioids and the cardiovascular system: dynorphin measurement in the human heart: β-endorphin plasmatic levels assay during acute pulmonary oedema
In recent years a considerable number of informtation has been obtained concerning the relationships between the endogenous opioid system (E.O.S.) and the cardiovascular system (1,2).

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....

Prolactin and growth hormone releasing activity of [D-Met2, Pro5]-enkephalinamide in the rat after systemic administration
The growth hormone (GH) and prolactin releasing (PRL) activity of [D-Met2, Pro5]-enkephalinamide (EKNH2), an opioid peptide analog with higher opiate agonist activity that morphine, was compared in the unanesthet...
