At the end of the 19th century Poincaré and Hilbert stated three problems which are still open today: the problem of the center and the problem of Poincaré, stated by Poincaré in 1885 and in 1891, and Hilbert’s 16th problem, stated in Hilbert’s address at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Paris in 1900. The first two and the second part of Hilbert’s 16th problem are on planar poly...

The astounding growth in cell phone and personal digital assistants (PDAs) has resulted in a new platform for computing engineering. Accordingly, a number of situations concerning business and dealer operations can be well managed with the use of such mobile devices or a combination of them. On the other hand, some software architectures like the Java 2 Micro Edition (J2ME) represent an excelle...

The aim of this study is to determine the effects of iPPOV on pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokine levels in rats. iPPOV (1 ml/rat) was administered intraperitoneal route to 49 rats, except for 7 rats (Control, 0 group). Serum samples were collected from 7 rats at 1st, 2nd, 4th, 8th, 12th, 16th and 24th hr after treatments. Levels of TNF-α, IL-6, IL-12 and IL-10 were determined using...

Purpose: The main purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of Halofuginone on radiation-induced cardiovascular injury in a rat model. Methods: Sixty Wistar-Albino rats were divided into six groups (the control group, radiotherapy (RT) only group Irradiation (IR), 2.5 and 5 μg Halofuginone groups (Hal (2.5)/C and Hal (5.0)/C), and RT plus 2.5 and 5 μg Halofuginone groups (Hal (2.5)/IR a...
