Introduction: One of the combination therapies for the treatment of cancer is ultrasound with other agents, which has received considerable attention in recent years. Ultrasound causes cavitation phenomenon that can produce some effects, such as; Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), which results in damage to cancer cells. When a particle is in liquid, the cavitation threshold decrea...

Synergetic measurements of MERIS and AATSR onboard ENVISAT are used for the retrieval of cloudtop pressure. As the MERIS cloud-top pressure retrieval algorithm has been proven to produce accurate results in optically thick, single-layered cases ([1]), special attention has been given to multi-layered clouds. An algorithm for the retrieval of the height of multiple cloud layers is presented, rel...

Recent data showing that glucan stimulates defense reactions in plants through synthesis of resveratrol, led us to study the possible synergetic effects of a glucan-resveratrol complex on immune reactions in mice. We measured phagocytic activity, expression of CD4 marker on spleen cells, IL-2 secretion and antibody response. In all cases we confirmed the stimulatory effects of glucan. Resveratr...

Starting with the problem of connecting photovoltaic (PV) system to main grid, this article presents control a grid-connected PV using fractional-order (FO) sliding mode (SMC) and FO-synergetic controllers. The mathematical model connected grid together chain intermediate elements their systems. To obtain superior performance, robustness performance an SMC-type controller for udc voltage in DC ...

the locus of control is a construct reflecting beliefs about the control of behavior and life events. according to this perception, people are grouped into two main categories: an internal and external locus of control. the main purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between wheat yield performance, locus of control and wheat growers’ (wg) characteristics. survey research met...

Preface Application-oriented mathematics develops theoretical results and new mathematical concepts, motivated by application, in contrast to " applied mathematics " focusing just on providing and applying mathematical tools for the applied sciences. The application-oriented approach produces results significant both for mathematics and the applied sciences. In this context we developed new con...
