BACKGROUND The onset of diabetes causes disruption of respiratory epithelial mediators. The present study investigates whether diabetes modifies the epithelium mediated bronchial responses in hyper-reactive airway smooth muscle (ASM) primarily through nitric oxide (NO), cyclooxygenase (COX), and epithelium derived hyperpolarizing factor (EpDHF) pathways. METHODS Experimental model of guinea p...

Background The role of calcium in physiological phenomenona such as sperm acrosome reaction and hyper-activation has been well known. Calcium ionophore A23187 is routinely used for induction of acrosome reaction in mammalians sperm. Therefore, we decided to evaluate the effect of calcium ionophore A23187 on the sperm hyper-active motility patterns. MaterialsAndMethods Ten semen samples from ind...

In this paper, we define the Smarandache hyper BCC-algebra, and Smarandache hyper BCC-ideals of type 1, 2, 3 and 4. We state and prove some theorems in Smarandache hyper BCC-algebras, and then we determine the relationships between these hyper ideals. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

We improve a recent result [Badr: Hyper-minimization inO(n). Int. J. Found. Comput. Sci. 20, 2009] for hyper-minimized nite automata. Namely, we present an O(n log n) algorithm that computes for a given deterministic nite automaton (dfa) an almostequivalent dfa that is as small as possible such an automaton is called hyper-minimal. Here two nite automata are almost-equivalent if and only if the...
