BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE The γ-secretase inhibitor (GSI) has been shown to inhibit expression of amyloid beta (Aβ), but GSI also has a side effect of reducing cell survival. Since low-power laser irradiation (LLI) has been known to promote cell survival, we examined whether 532 nm LLI can rescue the GSI side effect or not. STUDY DESIGN/MATERIALS AND METHODS The human-derived glioblastoma cell...

Effective fisheries management depend on having an exact assessment of biological parameters, including growth reproduction, size at sexual maturity ( L m ), and stock assessment. The purpose this research was to estimate the ) for 20 fish species belongs 14 families from a wetland (Gajner Beel ecosystem in north-western (NW) Bangladesh through multi-models such as length max based empirical mo...

Previous studies on mice have revealed that the Griffonia simplicifolia I (GSI) lectin selectively binds to capillaries in a number of microvascular beds. These observations suggest that the lectin might be a suitable microvascular marker for physiological studies of skeletal muscle, particularly when fluorescent visualization of vessels is desired independently of their perfusion status. Since...

Walleye pollock, Theragra chalcogramma, is the most commercially important species in the eastern Bering Sea. Estimates of maturity are critical for setting an appropriate harvest rate for pollock spawning biomass, and correct classification of ovaries into a maturity condition is necessary for accurate estimation of maturity. Data on length, weight, and ovary weight and condition were collecte...

The Grid Security Infrastructure (GSI) proposed and implemented in Globus Toolkit has been a widely accepted solution for the security of grids in recent years. But there is no formal analysis or modelling on security mechanisms of GSI emerging in the literature yet. In this paper, we propose a formal logic, and formalize those primary security mechanisms using the logic. Our formalism not only...

Numerical modeling is increasingly used to analyze practical rock engineering problems. The geological strength index (GSI) a critical input for many However, no available method allows the quantification of GSI parameters, and engineers must consider range values. As projects progress, these ranges can be narrowed down. Machine learning (ML) algorithms have been coupled with numerical create s...

The necessity for tuna products in the world community continues to increase, while production relies only on catching, thus causing overfishing. Therefore, breeding technology support farming is fundamental be developed. Yellowfin Indonesia has been successful cultivating broodstock. This paper discusses biometric data that changes during cultivation, such as condition factor, hepato and gonad...

This study was performed to obtain information on the sex ratio, spawning period, and size at sexual maturity for fishery management of largehead hairtail Trichiurus japonicus in Korean waters. The overall ratio (female, F; male, M) 1:0.46 (n = 1274 females:589 males, 68.4% female) as fish increased length, proportion females increased. oocyte development pattern group-synchronous development, ...

the present paper studies the reproductive biology, maturation size and sex ratio of penaeus monodon collected from digha fishing grounds, india during 2011-2013.  a total of 633 individual of p. monodon were examined and among them 242 were males and 391 were females. the overall yearly sex ratio was observed to be 1:1.6 (males: females). based on the results, the spawning season of p. monodon...

BACKGROUND Sulfur mustard (SM) is an alkylating agent that induces short and long term toxicity on various organs. The aim of this study was to assess the long-term psychological symptoms among samples of exposed to sulfur mustard gas compared with unexposed civilians 20 years after exposure. METHODS This historical cohort study was conducted on 495 civilians of Sardasht and Rabat in two age ...
