The role of isothiocyanate (ITC) in blocking epithelial restitution after injury and in the recovery of round wounds was examined in the ex vivo guinea pig stomach and in rat gastric mucosal-1 (RGM1) cells, respectively. For this, recovery of transepithelial electrical resistance and morphology after injury or the closure of round wounds was evaluated in the presence of 4,4'-diisothiocyanatosti...

BACKGROUND The mechanism and outcome of traumatic abdominal injury (TAI) varies worldwide. Moreover, data comparing TAIs in each abdominal compartment are lacking. We aimed to assess from the academic point of view, TAI based on its anatomical compartments. PATIENTS & METHODS We conducted a retrospective study for TAI patients between 2008 and 2011 in Qatar. Patients were categorized accordin...

Number of Papers published in peer-reviewed journals: Number of Papers published in non peer-reviewed journals: Final Report: High Stability Metal-Protein Interactions Evaluated by Microcalorimetry Report Title Isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) is a microcalorimetry technique used to study interactions between biomolecules and ligands in aqueous solution. This ARO equipment grant was provi...

A number of systems employ dynamic taint analysis to detect overwrite attacks in commodity software. These systems are based on the premise that low-integrity inputs should not control values such as function pointers and return addresses. Unfortunately, there are several programming constructs that can cause false positives and false negatives in these systems, which are currently handled by m...

Previous experimental and computational results have confirmed that the thermal conductivity of a two-dimensional (2D) material can be considerably affected by strain. Numerous attention has been paid to explore relevant mechanisms. However, strain effects on interfacial conductance (ITC) 2D heterostructure attracted little attention. Herein, non-equilibrium molecular dynamics (NEMD) simulation...

The Course Timetabling Problem consists of the weekly scheduling of lectures of a collection of university courses, subject to certain constraints. The International Timetabling Competitions, ITC-2002 and ITC-2007, have been organized with the aim of creating a common formulation for comparison of solution proposals. This paper discusses the design and implementation of an extendable family of ...

the international relations course was basically under the dominion of positivistic realistic (and in its newest form, the neorealistic) tendencies, and accordingly provided some concepts as a basis for analyzing the international relation and global policies. but since 1980s and under the influence of the changes caused by the emerge of post structuralist and post modernist approaches in the a...
