Fine-tuning of defensive behaviors in the dorsal periaqueductal gray by atypical neurotransmitters

This paper presents an up-to-date review of the evidence indicating that atypical neurotransmitters such as nitric oxide (NO) and endocannabinoids (eCBs) play an important role in the regulation of aversive responses in the periaqueductal gray (PAG). Among the results supporting this role, several studies have shown that inhibitors of neuronal NO synthase or cannabinoid receptor type 1 (CB1) receptor agonists cause clear anxiolytic responses when injected into this region. The nitrergic and eCB systems can regulate the activity of classical neurotransmitters such as glutamate and γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) that control PAG activity. We propose that they exert a ‘fine-tuning’ regulatory control of defensive responses in this area. This control, however, is probably complex, which may explain the usually bell-shaped dose-response curves observed with drugs that act on NO- or CB1-mediated neurotransmission. Even if the mechanisms responsible for this complex interaction are still poorly understood, they are beginning to be recognized. For example, activation of transient receptor potential vanilloid type-1 channel (TRPV1) receptors by anandamide seems to counteract the anxiolytic effects induced by CB1 receptor activation caused by this compound. Further studies, however, are needed to identify other mechanisms responsible for this fine-tuning effect.

Water chemistry management for future large experimental facilities

The thesis focuses on the water chemistry of the experimental test facilities and their reference VVER reactors. The main objective of the thesis is to provide recommendations for water chemistry management for laboratory facilities (VEERA, PACTEL) simulating the VVERs and for the large future facilities of the Lappeenranta University of Technology. In the beginning, the concept of nuclear power generation and the applicability of the nuclear power usage is discussed. Next, different water chemistry and water purification systems in primary and secondary circuits currently used at the power plant have been outlined. Also the construction geometry and design of test facilities PACTEL and VEERA, as well as the operation principles of their main equipment has been described. Finally, the appropriate water chemistry and water treatment system have been proposed for the existing and future experimental facilities of LUT.

Internet-markkinoinnin kehittäminen: Case Outotec HSC Chemistry

Kandidaatintyö käsittelee ohjelmistojen markkinointia internetissä ja markkinoinnin mittaamista. Työssä esitellään internetin eri markkinointikanavat käsitellen niiden toteutustapoja, vahvuuksia ja heikkouksia sekä kustannuksia. Internet-markkinoinnin mittaamisesta käsitellään erilaisia tunnuslukuja sekä mittaamisen käyttökohteita. Työ on pääasiassa kirjallisuuskatsaus, mutta samalla myös case: työssä käsitellään Outotecin toimeksiannosta sen kehittämän HSC Chemistry -ohjelmiston markkinointia internetissä. Työn tuloksissa suositellaan HSC Chemistrylle sopivia markkinointikanavia ja niiden kustannuksia. Lisäksi arvioidaan käsiteltyjen mittaamistapojen soveltuvuutta ohjelmiston tapauksessa.
