Cortical control of the sensory output of muscle spindles was studied in thirteen anesthetized cats in the present experiment. Gamma motoneuron activity was monitored during electrical stimulation of the sensorimotor cortex while recording from single primary afferents from the tenuissimus muscle. Findings are as follows: 1. The state of anesthesia is crucial in obtaining reproducible resu...

Background: Exposure to ionizing radiation is inevitable. Using of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) stimulates tissue repair and reduces inflammation. The objective of the present study aimed at evaluating the therapeutic efficacy of Helium-Neon (He-Ne) laser in stimulating the reparative processes in the liver of mice after whole body gamma-irradiation (WBγ-I). Materials and Methods: Two hundred...

Let $G$ be a finite group. The prime graph of $G$ is a graph $Gamma(G)$ with vertex set $pi(G)$, the set of all prime divisors of $|G|$, and two distinct vertices $p$ and $q$ are adjacent by an edge if $G$ has an element of order $pq$. In this paper we prove that if $Gamma(G)=Gamma(G_2(5))$, then $G$ has a normal subgroup $N$ such that $pi(N)subseteq{2,3,5}$ and $G/Nequiv G_2(5)$.

introduction: white spot syndrome virus (wssv) is one of the most deadly infectious pathogens of the shrimp culture industry. neither effective vaccines nor efficient treatments are currently available for this disease. vibrio species are well known dominant bacterial pathogens in the shrimp ponds. as facultative pathogenic bacteria, it is possible that vibrio spp. along with wssv to co-infect ...

abstract background: radiosensitizer drugs are used to enhance the efficiency of radiotherapy. some nanoparticles can be considered as radiosensitizers, because they enhance cytotoxicity due to oxidative stress and increase free radical yield, especially ros , within cells resulting to cell death. methods: in this study, synergistic effect of tio 2 nanoparticles was evaluated in presence of 60 ...

Prior to the production of human gamma interferon using recombinant DNA technology, it had been producedmainly upon mitogenic induction of lymphocytes in very low amounts, which evidently hamperedits characterization and its medical applications. The recombinant gamma interferons produced in largerquantities in prokaryotic systems retain their biological activities, and can be...

Gamma delta T-cell response to cellular stress signals expressed by tumor cells makes them promising candidates for cancer immunotherapy. The proof of concept for clinical scale propagation of polyclonal γδ T-cell lines with efficient in vitro and in vivo response against cancer is an important step in this direction.

In this paper, we consider admissible estimation of the parameter ?r in the gamma distribution with truncated parameter space under entropy loss function. We obtain the classes of admissible estimators. The result can be applied to estimation of parameters in the normal, lognormal, pareto, generalized gamma, generalized Laplace and other distributions.
