OBJECTIVE Insulin recruits muscle microvasculature, thereby increasing endothelial exchange surface area. Free fatty acids (FFAs) cause insulin resistance by activating inhibitor of κB kinase β. Elevating plasma FFAs impairs insulin's microvascular and metabolic actions in vivo. Whether salsalate, an anti-inflammatory agent, prevents FFA-induced microvascular and/or metabolic insulin resistance...

This study investigates the relationship between capital structure and financial performance. It also examines moderating effect of agency theory on proposed relationship. Panel secondary data is collected for 11 industry firms quoted Iraqi Stock Exchange during period 2004-2020. Financial performance measured using ROA MBV. According to analysis, findings confirm that has a significant negativ...

between the two-point function of the bottom vector current and the inclusive bottom quark cross section mediated by a virtual photon, which is valid up to a small correction from bb̄ radiation from light quarks. The left hand side can be computed in perturbation theory; the right hand side from data. The parameters of the lowest Υ(nS) resonances are well-measured, but the continuum cross sectio...

Large axial flow pump systems (LAPS) are widely used in coastal stations. In the actual operation of a LAPS, various accidents often occur during shutdown due to unreasonable control stop measures such as gate. this paper, based on secondary development Flowmaster numerical software, simulation study was conducted process LAPS with different gate laws. It found that MBV greater if closed more s...

Di alam terdapat beberapa jenis bentonite yang biasa digunakan dalam aplikasi kehidupan sehari-hari, salah satunya Natrium-Bentonit dan Kalsium-Bentonit. Kedua bentonit tersebut memiliki karakteristik berbeda sehingga penggunaannya pun berbeda. Karena perbedaan hal tersebut, maka penelitian ini berfokus pada proses karakterisasi berasal dari Riau. Pengamatan dilakukan berupa pengukuran distribu...

Investments in three coal-fired power generation technologies are valued using the "real options" valuation methodology in an uncertain carbon dioxide (CO2) price environment. The technologies evaluated are pulverized coal (PC), integrated coal gasification combined cycle (baseline IGCC), and IGCC with pre-investments that make future retrofit for CO2 capture less expensive (pre-investment IGCC...

Shrimp aquaculture is under pressure to increase its production meet the growing demand for food from a population. In Philippines, has experienced shift milkfish prawn, with attractive marketable price. This intensification led negative and positive impacts, which have raised range of environmental socioeconomic problems. paper reviews challenges that shrimp industry faces using Preferred Repo...
