As part of the FIRESAFE II project commissioned by European Maritime Safety Agency a study was performed to determine safe distance between side openings and Life-Saving Appliances (LSA) in ro-ro spaces keep them available usable for evacuation. The utilised analytical calculations CFD simulations. Two exclusion zones, where LSA should not be placed, were defined. first zone relates within an e...

In this paper, we propose a successive interference cancellation (SIC) detector which utilises multiple feedback (MF) candidates for cancellation stages and a dynamic log-likelihoodratio (LLR)-based dynamic reliability ordering (RO) of the cancellation stages in a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system. The proposed multi-feedback reliability-ordered SIC (MF-RO-SIC) detector’s performance...

Breast cancer cells express enzymes that convert cholesterol, the synthetic precursor of steroid hormones, into estrogens and androgens, which then drive breast cancer cell proliferation. In the present study, we sought to determine whether oxidosqualene cyclase (OSC), an enzyme in the cholesterol biosynthetic pathway, may be targeted to suppress progression of breast cancer cells. In previous ...

Rose-oxide is a fragrance found in roses and rose oil. There are no reports about the pharmacological activity of this molecule. The present study was undertaken to evaluate whether rose-oxide (RO) has anti-inflammatory properties and to investigate possible mechanisms involved with its effects. The anti-inflammatory activity of RO was first suggested by the formalin test in mice, an inflammato...

Ro 25-1392 [Ac-Glu8,OCH3-Tyr10,Lys12,Nle17,Ala19,A sp25,Leu26,-Lys27,28-vasoactive intestinal peptide(cyclo 21-25)] is a cyclic peptide analog of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) that potently exerts cellular effects typical of VIP. The selectivity of Ro 25-1392 for type I (VIPR1) and type II (VIPR2) VIP receptors was investigated first in competitive binding studies using Chinese hamster ov...
