We investigated the effects of thyroid state on mechanisms underlying rat heart mitochondrial capacity to remove H2O2 produced by an exogenous source. The removal rates were higher in presence respiratory substrates independently from and hyperthyroid than hypothyroid preparations. state-linked changes rates, mirrored those release showing that endogenous do not compete for removing system. Mit...

background: numerous evidences indicate that in some hiv-1 positive patients, the humoral and cellular immune responses are induced against hiv-1 proteins and this is inversely related to the progress of infection. objective: the aim of this study was the evaluation of the adenovectors containing hiv genes in induction of immune responses in mice. methods: the hiv-1 genes including gag p24, rev...

parkinson’s disease (pd) is the second most common neurodegenerative brain disorder which is around 1.5 times more common in men than in women. currently, drug medications, surgery, and lifestyle changes are common approaches to pd, while all of them focused on reducing the symptoms. therefore, regenerative medicine based on stem cell (sc) therapies has raised a promising hope. various types of...

fitzhugh-nagumo (fhn) model is a famous reaction-diffusion system which first introduced for the conduction of electrical impulses along a nerve fiber. this model is also considered as an abstract model for pattern formation. here, we have used the cellular automata method to simulate the pattern formation of the fhn model. it is shown that the pattern of this model is very similar to those of ...

urban settlements and their connectivity will be the dominant driver of global change during the twenty-first century. in an attempt to assess the effects of urban growth on available land for other uses and its associated impacts on environmental parameters, we modeled the change in the extent of gorgan city, the capital of the golestan province of iran. we used landsat tm and etm+ imagery of ...

abstract this paper presents a multiobjective power control algorithm that updates the transmitted power based on local information. the proposed algorithm is expanded by using multiobjective optimization schemes. the objectives to be optimized in this paper are determined so as to reduce the sinr fluctuations as well as maintaining the sinr to an acceptable level with minimizing an average tra...

it is shown in [1] that the optimal downlink radio resource allocation for non-realtime traffic in cellular cdma/tdma networks can be mapped to a multi-dimensional multiple-choice knapsack problem (mmkp) which is np-hard. in this correspondence we propose a heuristic algorithm with polynomial time complexity for this problem. numerical results indicate significant computational performance impr...

A new mathematical model based on the alternative process routings in presence of a queuing system in a dynamic cellular manufacturing system has been proposed in this paper.This model integrates two problems of cell formation and inter-cell layout and also an efficiency factor which is defined for minimizing the cell load variation through the maximizing the busy time for all machine types. In...

tissue engineering is defined as the designing and engineering of structures to rebuild and repair a body damaged tissue. scaffolding poly hydroxy butyrate valraty (phbv) has shown good biocompatibility and biodegradable properties. nanofibers have improved the performance of biomaterials, and could be considered effective. one of the important methods for designing nanofiber scaffold is the el...
