Background: Oocyte maturation is usually defined as the period of progression from the first to the second meiotic arrest and involves coordinated nuclear and cytoplasmic modification. Ca2+ signals are known as important regulators of oocyte maturation. Extracellular Ca2+ is important for first polar body formation, normal meiosis kinetics, and for preserving the chromosome and spindle configur...

one way to increase the shelf life of agriculture products is using of controlled atmosphere storages. in order to obtain the controlled gas components, an equipped cold store with cooling system and atmosphere controller system designed and constructed. the injection of co2, o2 and n2 were controlled automatically into the store by programable logic control (plc). the store was a laboratory re...

a memory control for t-s fuzzy discrete-time systems with sto- chastic input delay is proposed in this paper. dierent from the common assumptions on the time delay in the existing literatures, it is assumed in this paper that the delays vary randomly and satisfy some probabilistic dis- tribution. a new state space model of the discrete-time t-s fuzzy system is derived by introducing some stocha...

Lead intoxication is one of the most health hazards in humans at all ages. Lead impairs oxidant/antioxidant balance that can be partially responsible for the toxic effect of lead in the various organs of body especially cardiovascular system. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of carvacrol as anti-oxidative agent on hypertension and some blood parameters in lead poisone...

Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) ventilation remains a mainstay treatment for obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). Good pressure stability and pressure reduction during exhalation are of major importance to ensure clinical efficacy and comfort of CPAP therapy. In this study an experimental CPAP ventilator was constructed using an application-specific CPAP blower/motor assembly and...

Control of diesel fuel injection is very important and has influence not only at engine operating conditions but also at emission of toxic gases as NOx, HC, and Particulate Matter (PM) are effect of combustion process. Directly observing of combustion process is very difficult, but implementation to injection control algorithm procedures based on additional sensors as knock sensor, cylinder pre...
