Determination of Critical Channel Using Combination ASSA and GIS Models in Different Return Periods (Case Study: Mashhad Municipality9 District)

OBJECTIVE Ferula assa-foetida, a native species in Iran, is used for treatment of several diseases particularly for neurological disorders in Iranian Traditional Medicine. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of methanolic roots, fruits, and aerial parts extracts of Ferula assa-foetida on withdrawal syndrome in morphine-dependent mice. MATERIALS AND METHODS Aerial parts, roots, ...

AIM The present study was performed to investigate acute and subchronic oral toxicity of Ferula assa-foetida gum (28 days) in Sprague Dawley rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS Acute oral administration of F. assa-foetida was done as a single bolus dose up to 5 g/kg in mice and subchronic toxicity study for 28 days was done by oral administration at doses of 0 (control) and 250 mg/kg in Sprague Dawle...

INTRODUCTION Considering the prevalence of epilepsy and the failure of available treatments for many epileptic patients, finding more effective drugs in the treatment of epilepsy seems necessary. Oxidative stress has a special role in the pathogenesis of epileptic syndrome. Therefore, in the present study, we have examined the anti-epileptic and anti-oxidant properties of the Ferula Assa Foetid...

BACKGROUND Quorum sensing is a microbial cell-to-cell communication process. Quorum sensing bacteria produce and release extracellular messenger molecules called autoinducers. Gram-positive and Gram-negative, homoserine lactones, and oligopeptides are autoinducers used to communicate and regulate gene expression. OBJECTIVES The goal of this study was to assess the impact of subinhibitory conc...

A low-cost inertial navigation system (INS) and global satellite (GNSS) fusion position estimator is affected by accuracy limitations multiple noises, leading to significant errors in positioning estimation. This paper proposes a new algorithm, SSA-ESKF, which combines singular spectrum analysis (SSA) an error-state Kalman filter (ESKF). The measurement unit (IMU) GNSS data obtained from the re...

This paper shows how two different publicly available epidemiological modelling packages (namely the Spectrum AIDS Impact Model and the ASSA 2003 model) predict very different impacts of rolling out highly active antiretroviral treatment (HAART) on new HIV infections. Using South Africa as a case study, it shows that ASSA 2003 predicts a significant drop in new HIV infections as HAART is rolled...
