Background: Herbal Essential Oils (EOs) are natural, volatile, and complex compounds that are defined by a strong odor. This study was conducted to investigate and compare antioxidant and antifungal properties of EO extracted from flowers and leaves of Origanum vulgare ssp. gracile from Iran. Methods: EOs of leaves and flowers of O. vulgare ssp. gracile were extracted using a modified Cleven...

Constructing phase diagram and its subsequent quality lines for lean gas condensate reservoirs is always crucial and challenging topic in reservoir fluid studies. Due to small amounts of liquid drop-outs in lean gas condensates at reservoir conditions, full experimental tracking of phase diagram and its relevant quality lines is almost impossible for lean gas condensates.On the other hand, ...

In this paper, we investigate the quintessence models with an oscillating equation of state (EoS) and their potentials. From the constructed potentials, which have the EoS of ωφ = ω0+ω1 sin z, we find they are all the oscillating functions of the field φ, and the oscillating amplitudes are decreasing (or increasing) with φ. From the evolutive equation of the field φ, we find this is caused by t...

In most eukaryotic cells, mitochondria use the respiratory chain to produce a proton gradient, which is then harnessed for the synthesis of ATP. Recently, mitochondrial roles in regulation of apoptosis have been discovered in many cell types. Eosinophils (Eos) die by apoptosis, but the presence and function of mitochondria in Eos are unknown. This study found that Eos contain mitochondria in sm...

This contribution presents the formalism of Elementary Object Systems (Eos). Object nets are Petri nets which have Petri nets as tokens – an approach known as the nets-within-nets paradigm. Since object nets in general are immediately Turing complete, we introduce the restricted class of elementary object nets which restrict the nesting of nets to the depth of two. One central aim of this contr...

In earlier work, we showed that the AspectJ notions of aspect and class can be unified in a new module construct that we called the classpect, and that this new model is simpler and able to accommodate a broader set of requirements for modular solutions to complex integration problems. We embodied our unified model in the Eos language design. The main contribution of this work is an analysis of...

Patients of late onset schizophrenia (LOS) (13 subjects), early onset schizophrenia (EOS) current age above 40 years (15 subjects) and early onset schizophrenia (EOS)- current age at or below 40 years (15 subjects) were compared. The LOS group differed from the two EOS groups only in having higher score on the item 'persecutory delusions'. The findings do not support the diagnostic validity of ...

In order to avoid electrical overstress (EOS) fails right from the beginning of the design process, a pro-active methodology is proposed that accounts for the special characteristics of integrated circuits (ICs) and their applications in order to deal with EOS in the design, handling and application of ICs. Zusammenfassung – Zur frühzeitigen Vermeidung von EOS-Ausfällen wird eine pro-aktive Met...

EOS provides a formal framework for automated knowledge processing. The EOS framework combines theoretical foundations derived from epistemology and ontology with recent advances in the fields of knowledge representation and processing. As such it allows for an explicit modeling of domain knowledge on the ontological as well as on the epistemic layer, which ensures a flexible, modular system ar...

RATIONALE There is increasing interest regarding asthma heterogeneity in relation to inflammatory patterns. OBJECTIVES To assess phenotypic characteristics, in particular clinical presentation of the disease, in 381 well-characterised adults with asthma from the French Epidemiological study on the Genetics and Environment of Asthma (EGEA) according to their blood inflammatory pattern. METHO...
