Fibrinogen (Fg) has been recognized to play a central role in coagulation, inflammation and tissue regeneration. Several studies have used Fg deficient mice (Fg(-/-)) in comparison with heterozygous mice (Fg(+/-)) to point the proinflammatory role of Fg in diverse pathological conditions and disease states. Although Fg(+/-) mice are considered 'normal', plasma Fg is reduced to ~75% of the norma...

This paper presents a new finite modelling of the nonlinear static bending analysis piezoelectric functionally graded (FG) sandwich plates resting on elastic foundations. Finite element formulations are derived by using first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT) Mindlin and method. The proposed mathematical model this work verified comparing results with those other methods, they in good agree...

In this study, the dynamic stability analysis of laminated composite single-bay and two-bay curved frame structures has been investigated. For purpose, a computer code is written in MATLAB to evaluate natural frequency values, critical buckling load, first unstable regions frames. The effects radii curvature stacking order on static both single two bay arch are Besides, investigated by consider...

This work extends the stress recovery for laminated composite solid plates, proposed in [1] , [2] to curved structures. Based on 3D Isogeometric Analysis (IGA) computations and equilibrium, this procedure uses a single element through thickness combination with calibrated layer-by-layer integration rule or homogenized approach, allowing an inexpensive accurate approximation terms of in-plane st...

Classic non-homeostatic structures involved in food intake regulation are reciprocally influenced by metabolic signals. Orexigenic peptides expressed the olfactory bulb (OB) and hippocampus (HP) modulate processing memory, respectively. Hypothalamic circuits also feeding behavior activating releasing Agouti-related peptide (AgRP) response to orexigenic An adequate fasting requires expression of...
