This study evaluated protection by selenium (Se) in the bone repair process in ovariectomized rats after irradiation. For such purpose, 80 ovariectomized female Wistar rats were randomly divided into 4 experimental groups: ovariectomized (Ov), Ov/Se, Ov/irradiated (Irr) and Ov/ Se/Irr. A bone defect was created on the tibia of all animals 40 days after ovariectomy. Two days after surgery, only ...

Oncolytic virus (OV) therapy utilizes replication-competent viruses to kill cancer cells, leaving non-malignant cells unharmed. With the first U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved OV, dozens of clinical trials ongoing, and an abundance of translational research in the field, OV therapy is poised to be one of the leading treatments for cancer. A number of recombinant OVs expressing a trans...

The berization of aane systems via dual Gramian techniques, that was developed in previous papers of the authors, is applied here for the study of aane frames which have an aane dual system. Gramian techniques are also used to verify whether a dual pair of aane frames is a also a pair of bi-orthogonal Riesz bases. A general method for a painless derivation of a dual pair of aane frames from an ...

This paper considers the design of wavelet tight frames based on iterated oversampled lter banks. The greater design freedom available makes possible the construction of wavelets with a high degree of smoothness, in comparison with orthonormal wavelet bases. Grr obner bases are used to obtain the solutions to the nonlinear design equations. Following the dual-tree DWT of Kingsbury, one goal is ...

BACKGROUND Onchocerciasis, an infection caused by the filarial nematode Onchocerca volvulus, is a major public health concern. Given the debilitating symptoms associated with onchocerciasis and concerns about recrudescence in areas of previous onchocerciasis control, more efficient tools are needed for diagnosis and monitoring of control measures. We investigated whether luciferase immunoprecip...

this article looks into the relationship between perceptions of organizational virtuousness (ov), affective well–being (awb), and affective commitment (ac), in insurance companies operating in tehran. using cochran formula, number of samples required to collect research data was estimated to be 196. to access this amount of sample, 20 insurance companies in tehran were selected using random clu...

We establish a connection between (degenerate) nonsymmetric Macdonald polynomials and standard bases and dual standard bases of maximal parabolic modules of affine Hecke algebras. Along the way we prove a (weak) polynomiality result for coefficients of symmetric and nonsymmetric Macdonald polynomials.
