objective: endothelium is a selective and permeable membrane for transferring nutrients and vital components to arterial wall. endothelial damage might lead to altered biological function of endothelium and clinical consequences such as atherosclerosis. blood pressure pulse always exerts circumferential tension to the arterial wall. hence, such tension together with other loads, play important ...

The present study shows that the sulfur of the phosphorothioate 5'-nucleoside diphosphate beta-S adds across the olefinic double bond of the maleimide moiety of the thiol-sensitive probe, N-l pyrene maleimide. The reaction of phosphorothioate with the maleimide moiety provided a basis for coupling the phosphorothioate nucleoside diphosphate beta-S to maleimidederivatized bovine serum albumin. F...

fuzzy groups and fuzzy theory have a lot of applications in several sciencessuch as mathematics, computer science, computer and electrical engineering.hence, counting the number of fuzzy subgroups of finite groups to classify them isan important issue in fuzzy theory. the main goal of this paper is to give an explicitformula for the number of fuzzy subgroups of a finite cyclic groupg z p1 z p 2...

the electrochemical behavior of nifedipine (i), nitrendipine(ii) and their photodegradation products has been studied by employing electrochemical techniques in chloroform and in 1:4 mixture of chloroform-isopropanol using piperidinium perchlorate (ppc) as supporting electrolyte. it has been shown that i and ii undergo in a 4e, 4h+ irreversible reduction reaction, while the reduction product, p...

Various lanthanide aryloxide complexes supported by bridged bis(amidinate) ligand L, LLnOAr(DME) (L = Me3SiNC(Ph)N(CH2)3NC(Ph)NSiMe3, DME = dimethoxyethane, Ln = Y, Ar = 2,6-(Me)2C6H3 (1), 2,6-((i)Pr)2C6H3 (2), 2,6-((t)Bu)2-4-(Me)C6H2 (3); Ar = 2,6-((t)Bu)2-4-(Me)C6H2, Ln = Nd (4), Sm (5), Yb (6)) were synthesized, and complexes 1, 2 and 4–6 were characterized by single crystal X-ray diffractio...

the article introduces cyclic dilation groups and finite affine groups for prime integers, and  as an application of this theory it presents a unified group theoretical approach for the  cyclic wavelet transform (cwt) of prime dimensional periodic signals.

with the expanding demand on application of magnesium alloys in automotive and aerospace industries, robust methods in fatigue characterization of commercially available magnesium alloys with high specific strength is anticipated. in this paper, rotating bending load controlled tests has been studied on specimens machined from an extrusion piece of az31b. due to asymmetric and anisotropic behav...

Background and Aim: Maintaining the primary torque of the abutment screw is a common problem related to implant-supported restorations; a failure in this respect often leads to screw loosening. The abutment screw plays a critical role in the long-term stability of restorations. This study aimed to assess the effect of two abutment connection types with and without cyclic loading on removal torq...

abstract: background : cyclic vomiting syndrome(cvs) is a disorder with dysmotility component and erythromycin is  a an antibiotic with prokinetic effect. this study aimed to evaluate the erythromycin efficacy in childhood cyclic vomiting syndrome methods : in this prospective study, 301 patients with final diagnosis of cvs enrolled in two separated groups. the first group received erythromycin...

even though the use of enzymes as useful analytical reagents when immobilized onto a transducer such as an electrochemical device has been reported in the literature for nearly two decades, the direct, i.e. unmediated electrochemistry of enzymes is, nevertheless, a rather recent development. efforts will be made to introduce the fundamental basis for protein-surface interactions with emphasis o...
