Paclitaxel is the one of the most common chemotherapeutic drugs used for the treatment of prostate cancer. However, its current clinical utility has been limited due to numerous serious side effects and drug resistance. Noscapine is an antitussive opium alkaloid that showed antitumor activity against a variety of cancer while has not exhibited severe side effects. This study investigates the a...

Water and wastewater effluents contain a vast range of pharmaceutical chemicals. The present study aims to determine the potential of the advanced oxidation technology UV/H(2)O(2)/O(3) and its sub-processes (i.e. UV, UV/H(2)O(2), UV/O(3), O(3) and H(2)O(2)/O(3)) for the degradation of the antibiotics ciprofloxacin (CIP) and trimethoprim (TMP), and the antineoplastic drug cyclophosphamide (CPD) ...

in this article, we characterize the involutiveness of the linear combination of the forma1a1 +a2a2 when a1, a2 are nonzero complex numbers, a1 is a quadratic or tripotent matrix,and a2 is arbitrary, under certain properties imposed on a1 and a2.

in recent years, sub-band speech recognition has been found useful in addressing the need for robustness in speech recognition, especially for the speech contaminated by band-limited noise. in sub-band speech recognition, the full band speech is divided into several frequency sub-bands, with the result of the recognition task given by the combination of the sub-band feature vectors or their lik...

in the course of this study, the number of recorded chalcidids (hym.: chalcididae) from iranincreased to 42 species (including one unidentified species of the genus lasiochalcidia masi), of whichfifteen species and four genera are new to iranian chalcidid fauna. the family chalcididae is repredentedby three subfamilies in iran as follows: chalcidinae (16 species), dirhininae (two species), andh...

introduction: pulsed dye laser (pdl) has been used to treat acne lesions and scar erythema by interrupting superficial vasculature. salicylic acid chemical peels are employed chiefly due to their lipophilic, comedolytic, and anti-inflammatory properties. although studies have looked at peels and laser therapy independently in acne management, we examined these treatments in combination. our pri...

In this power study, ANOVAs of unbalanced and balanced 2 x 2 datasets are compared (N = 120). Datasets are created under the assumption that H1 of the effects is true. The effects are constructed in two ways, assuming: 1. contributions to the effects solely in the treatment groups; 2. contrasting contributions in treatment and control groups. The main question is whether the two ANOVA correctio...
