Vehicle-to-Grid Technology： State-of-the-Art and Future Scenarios

An overview of V2G （vehicle-to-grid） technology is presented in this paper, it aims to highlight the main features, opportunities and requirements of V2G. Thus, after briefly resuming the most popular charging strategies lbr PEVs （plug-in electric vehicles）, the V2G concept is introduced, especially highlighting its potentiality as a revenue opportunity ｜br PEV owners： this is mainly due to the V2G ability to provide ancillary services, such as load leveling, regulation and reserve. Such solutions have been thoroughly investigated in the literature from both the economic and technical points of view and are here reported. In addition, V2G requirements such as mobility needs, charging stations availability and appropriate PEV aggregative architectures are properly taken into account. Finally, future developments and scenarios have also been reported.     

Preliminary study on the chemical constituents and #microbiologic activity of Asphodelus microcarpus (Salzm. et Viv.)

Pharmacotherapy of various neurologic and psychiatric disorders is based on amplification of the effects of the inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA in the CNS. Of particular importance is the modulation of GABAA receptors by benzodiazepines. Their effects are activity-dependent and self limiting. With the development of new ligands for the benzodiazepine receptorsite selective activity-profiles with minimal side-effects are sought. Progress is to be expected from partial agonists and in particular from ligands with selectivity for receptor subtypes.
