Abstract The experimental work of this study deals with the performance pipe in sand various responses subjected to incremental static loading where backfill is reinforced two types reinforcement (geogrid and geocell) investigate effects cover. pipes considered are installed different densities; i.e., loose, medium dense sand, a constant burial depth (2D, D diameter). It was concluded that maxi...

A MANET network is assembly of sensor nodes, where each node acts as router. MANETs are not based on centralized structure; therefore each node is responsible for routing the data packets from source to destination. This is done by implementing a routing protocol. Routing plays very influential role in MANETs. In this paper work an attempt has been made to compare the OLSR with GRP routing prot...

It was aimed to produce GRP pipes, having less resin consumption and higher mechanical properties by changing the grain distribution of fillers used in core region. American Foundry Society (AFS) fineness number currently pipe production, determined Fuller equation, exponent which is 0.8 (F0.8), were study. Chopped glass fibers, unsaturated polyester resin, silica filler used. manufactured thre...

Gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP) has recently been identified as an itch-signaling molecule in the primary afferents and spinal cord of rodents. However, little information exists on the expression and localization of GRP in the trigeminal somatosensory system other than in rats. We examined the generality of the trigeminal GRP system in mammals using two distinct species, suncus as a model of s...

The glucose-regulated protein (GRP) system in mammalian cells is induced by glucose deprivation, anoxia, the calcium ionophore A23187, and 2-deoxyglucose. In Chinese hamster ovary cells the major GRPs are approximately equal to 76, 97, and 170 kDa. Removal of each of these four GRP-inducing stresses leads to the coordinate repression of GRPs and induction of the major heat shock proteins at 70 ...

We hypothesized that roasted Glycyrrhizae Radix (Glycyrrhizin Radix Praeparata, GRP) might modify anti-diabetic action due to compositional changes. Then we examined the anti-diabetic effect and mechanism of raw Glycyrrhizae Radix (GR) and GRP extracts and their major respective components, glycyrrhizin and glycyrrhetinic acid. In partial pancreatectomized (Px) diabetic mice, both GR and GRP im...

To assess the clinical usefulness of serum pro-gastrin-releasing peptide (Pro-GRP) as a tumor marker for small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC), we measured serum levels of Pro-GRP with a newly developed ELISA and measured serum levels of neuron-specific enolase (NSE) in 44 patients with untreated SCLC and 77 patients with untreated non-SCLC. We prospectively measured serum levels of Pro-GRP and NSE ...

Gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP), a neuropeptide initially isolated from porcine stomach, shares sequence similarity with bombesin. GRP and its receptors are present in the brains and peripheral tissues of several species of teleost fish, but little is known about the ventilatory and cardiovascular effects of this peptide in these vertebrates. The goal of this study was to compare the central an...
