Thrombin is a multifunctional enzyme which has key roles in coagulation cascade and inflammatory events. The pro-inflammatory functions of thrombin occur by different mechanisms including increasing mast cell degranulation, up-regulating the expression of cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) and promoting the secretion of inflammatory chemokines and cytokines. Dysregulated signaling functions of thro...

Effective protocols are introduced for parthenogenesis activation in oocytes. Hydrostatic pressure can act as a mechanical stimulator that rearranges egg contents, leading to new structural or molecular combination. Alternatively, mechanical stimulation could stimulate a mechanically-gated process, such as opening or closing of stretch activated ion channels. This study, investigated the use of...

0974-9756/CIIT–IJ-1443/07/$20/$100 © 2011 CiiT Published by the Coimbatore Institute of Information Technology Abstract---The Ad hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV) routing protocol is an efficient Mobile Ad hoc NETworks (MANETs) routing protocol. It uses hop count as a metric for the path selection. AODV does not support Quality of Service (QoS) and neither any load-balancing mechanism. The p...

We construct multi-center solutions for charged, dilatonic, non-extremal black holes in D = 4. When an infinite array of such non-extremal black holes are aligned periodically along an axis, the configuration becomes independent of this coordinate, which can therefore be used for Kaluza-Klein compactification. This generalises the vertical dimensional reduction procedure to include non-extremal...
