Calcium oxide is one of the appropriate catalysts for biodiesel production. In this study, cheap and compatible with environment catalyst has been used. Mussel shell of Persian Gulf coast is one of the sources of calcium carbonate that is converted to calcium oxide at calcination temperature up to 950°C. Transesterification reaction was carried out at optimum condition of our previous study...

We aim at estimating the invariant density associated to a stochastic differential equation with jumps in low dimension, which is for d = 1 and 2. consider class of fully non-linear jump diffusion processes whose belongs some Hölder space. Firstly, dimension one, we show that kernel estimator achieves convergence rate 1/ T , optimal absence jumps. This improves obtained Amorino Gloter [ J. Stat...

OBJECTIVE The present study was designed to explore the clinical values of microRNA-129 (miR-129) expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells for prostate cancer patients and the role of miR-129 in the proliferation of prostate cancer. METHODS The peripheral blood mononuclear cells were isolated form blood simple from 98 patients confirmed with prostate cancer and 56 matched healthy volu...

Noble gas pulmonary magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is transitioning away from (3)He to (129)Xe gas, but the physiological/clinical relevance of (129)Xe apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) parenchyma measurements is not well understood. Therefore, our objective was to generate (129)Xe MRI ADC for comparison with (3)He ADC and with well-established measurements of alveolar structure and functi...

Gene-targeting techniques to produce null mutations provide a powerful method for evaluating the contribution of particular candidate genes involved in motivation. The embryonic stem cell lines in which homologous recombination is undertaken are derived from 129 mice, but because of the impoverished performance of 129 mice on a number of behavioral tasks, mice chimeric for the mutation are ofte...
