introduction: anethole is the main constituent of pimpinella anisum l. (anise), a herbaceous annual plant which has several therapeutic effects. in the folk medicine, anise is employed as an antiepileptic drug. specifically, this study was focused on the cellular effect of anethole, an aromatic compound in essential oils from anise and camphor. anethole has various physiological effects on the ...

today, many companies have multiple channels, such as sales force, direct mail / catalog, internet and broadcast channels, telephone, etc. for providing goods and services to its customers. multiple distribution channels, despite having benefits, several challenges such as the incidence of conflict, allocation of product, free ride some members have being emerged. the aim of this study was to i...

purpose: the aim and objective of this report is to identify the benefits of interactive communication channels and to advice the fmcg business on how these new methods are better than the conventional methods. design/ methodology/approach:  in this research article facts about advertisement and its effectiveness were collected from different surveys conducted by various agencies. mainly second...

Brain-machine interfaces (BMIs) are mostly investigated as a means to provide paralyzed people with new communication channels with the external world. However, the communication between brain and artificial devices also offers a unique opportunity to study the dynamical properties of neural systems. This review focuses on bidirectional interfaces, which operate in two ways by translating neura...

Artificial organelles, molecular factories and nanoreactors are membrane-bound systems envisaged to exhibit cell-like functionality. These constitute liposomes, polymersomes or hybrid lipo-polymersomes that display different membrane-spanning channels and/or enclose molecular modules. To achieve more complex functionality, an artificial organelle should ideally sustain a continuous influx of es...

ion channels play a major role in the regulation of t cell function in health and disease. in a computer-based model, established to simulate t cells’ membrane potential (vm) generation, we discovered a discrepancy between the simulation and patch-clamp recordings. the predicted vm was more hyperpolarized than the measured vm, indicating that a yet unknown, depolarizing ion current might contri...

One of the common concrete channels in irrigation networks is the semielliptical prefabricated channels. Manning formula is usually used to design these channels. The cross-sectional area and the wetted perimeter are required to be calculated in Manning formula. There are no analytical solutions to directly compute these parameters. Thus, numerical integration methods are inevitably used. In th...
