Obesity is a main reason of type 2 diabetes and also chronic exposure to arsenic (As)can produce diabetic symptoms. In previous studies, the association between high-fat dietand arsenic in the incidence of diabetes was found, but the role of beta cells activity, livermitochondrial oxidative stress, and hepatic enzymes (leptin, adiponectin and beta amylase)was unclear. Thus, present study was co...

In recent years, hydroforming process has been applied in different industries such as aerospace, automotive and military industries due to its advantages, such as high dimensional accuracy, capability of forming complicated parts and high drawing ratio. Hydrodynamic deep drawing with radial pressure is one type of hydroforming process. In this paper, forming of cylindrical cups in hydrodynamic...

In this paper, we improve the GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) authentication protocol to reduce the signaling loads on the network. The proposed protocol introduces a notion of the enhanced user profile containing a few of VLR IDs for the location areas where a mobile user is most likely to visit. We decrease the authentication costs for roaming users by exploiting the enhanced us...

colorectal cancer is an emerging public health problem in indonesia and currently ranks among the three highest cancers. lack of a colonoscopy screening and lifestyle changes might contribute to it. in the last few decades, there is an increasing interest towards the contribution of genetic-environment interaction in colorectal carcinogenesis. some studies have indicated that crc might develop ...

background: stroke is one of the most frequent causes of death and disability worldwide and has significant clinical and socioeconomic impact. hyperlipidemia and inflammation play major roles in atherothrombosis and in stroke. this study is conducted to compare the high sensitive c-reactive protein (hs-crp) levels and the lipid profile parameters between stroke patients and control group and de...

introduction considering the high prevalence of vitamin d deficiency in our country and the importance of blood lipid profile as a protective factor, aim of this study was to investigate the effect of vitamin d supplementation on lipid profile in children 10 to 14 years.materials and methods in this controlled clinical trial study, 40 children who were studying on 2014 in birjand elementary sch...

Effect of flaxseeds supplementation on serum lipid profile of selected hypercholesteremic patients was studied. Flaxseeds were processed (roasted) and analysed for its nutritional and fatty acid profile and incorporated into chapattis (15gms) and evaluated organoleptically. Administration of roasted Flaxseed powder of 15 gm for 4 weeks produces significant (P<0.001) reduction of serum total cho...

This paper proposes a profile likelihood algorithm to compute the nonparametric maximum likelihood estimator of a convex hazard function. The maximisation is performed in two steps: First the support reduction algorithm is used to maximise the likelihood over all hazard functions with a given point of minimum (or antimode). Then it is shown that the profile (or partially maximised) likelihood i...

In this paper, we propose a spectral clustering approach for users and documents group modeling in order to capture the common preference and relatedness of users and documents, and to reduce the time complexity of similarity calculations. In experiments, we investigate the selection of the optimal amount of clusters. We also show a reduction of the time consuming in calculating the similarity ...

This paper describes a spread spectrum clock generator (SSCG) circuit for DisplayPort 1.2 standard. A Hershey-Kiss modulation profile is generated by dual sigma-delta modulators. The structure generates various modulation slopes to shape a non-linear modulation profile. The proposed SSCG for DisplayPort 1.2 generates clock signals with 5000 ppm down spreading with a Hershey-Kiss modulation prof...
