Alternatively, it has been proposed that BK channels may in fact enhance neuronal excitability by reducing the refractory period or enhancing firing rates, allowing neurons to compensate for the depressant effect of ethanol during sedation (Atkinson 2009).
Ethanol may exert differential effects on midbrain dopamine neurons, such as selectively enhancing firing rates or excitatory/inhibitory synapses, which could alter dopamine activity in target regions and thus potentially contribute to the regional differences in "response ratios".
So the couple, both retired police officers, installed Xeriscaping, water-conserving landscaping including cactuslike plants, which also enhances fire safety.
In some cases aggressive fire "whirls" form, which can enhance fire strength, enclosure mixing, and exposure.
The attraction to recently burned patches alters grazing patterns and results in fuel accumulation in long-unburned patches and potentially enhances fire behavior (Kerby et al. [2007]).
The different failure mechanisms and additional contribution from cable action so as to enhance fire behavior of CFRP and CFRG strengthened beams were analyzed.
It is believed that this coating system would enhance fire resistance of the FRP, and safety and reliability of FRP repaired concrete structures.
