This study was designed to evaluate the protective activity of gallic acid (GA) against glyoxal (GO) an advanced glycation intermediate-induced renal fibrosis in experimental rats. Glyoxal (i.p) at a dose of 15 mg/Kg body weight/day for 4 weeks induces renal fibrosis. GA was administered orally (100 mg/Kg body weight/day) along with GO for 4 weeks. The anti-fibrotic activity of GA was analyzed ...

Super eciency data envelopment analysis(DEA) model can be used in ranking the performanceof ecient decision making units(DMUs). In DEA, non-extreme ecient unitshave a super eciency score one and the existing super eciency DEA models do notprovide a complete ranking about these units. In this paper, we will propose a methodfor ranking the performance of the extreme and non-extreme ecient units.

Lead-acid batteries are widely used in the conventional cars as a main electrical energy storage system to supply power for following start. In this paper, efficacy of lead was evaluated and compared against ultra-capacitors alternative battery designs via simulation-based model complete process. Specifically, several parameters were assessed such weight reliability. The results confirm consist...

Demand is growing for more realistic three-dimensional (3-D) image spaces that can enhance interpersonal communication. Existing 3-D image space systems are mainly based on computer graphics (CG); examples include Cybertown [1] and Interspace [2]. Unfortunately, the image spaces created by existing CG techniques are unnatural and certainly not attractive. There are two problems in creating phot...

Craniosynostoses are recognized as a group of birth defects that impair the skull structures by early closure of one or more sutures, causing an abnormal cranial shape. Among the "simple" craniosynostoses, (a single closed suture) the most common is scaphocephaly. The 3D CT scan is the most relevant and rapid diagnostic test. The authors present the personal experience of 98 scaphocephaly cases...

Aiming at the unknown uncertainty of an active power filter system in practical operation, combining advantages self-feedback structure, interval type-2 fuzzy neural network, and super-twisting sliding mode, adaptive mode control method network with recursive structure (IT2FNN-SFR STSMC) is proposed this paper. IT2FNN has uncertain membership function, which can enhance nonlinear ability robust...

In this paper we study and represent various techniques of image super resolution (SR), it is also called as super resolution reconstruction. Super resolution reconstruction produces high resolution image from sequence of low resolution images. The main aim of super resolution is to improve visual quality of available low resolution image. Also existing Low Resolution (LR) imaging can be utiliz...
