Structural plasticity in mesencephalic dopaminergic neurons produced by drugs of abuse: critical role of BDNF and dopamine.

Mesencephalic dopaminergic neurons were suggested to be a critical physiopathology substrate for addiction disorders.Among neuroadaptive processes to addictive drugs, structural plasticity has attracted attention.While structural plasticity occurs at both pre- and post-synaptic levels in the mesolimbic dopaminergic system, the present review focuse

Servo and Regulatory Response of an Industrial Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) Unit under Fuzzy Logic Supervisory Control

A self-tuning hierarchical controller in which a Fuzzy logic controller supervises the control actions of a conventional PID has been proposed, implemented and presented in this paper.The Stickers controller has been applied to a control study of Fluid Catalytic Cracking unit (FCCU) riser temperature, and regenerator temperature respectively.Compar
