The Antarctic is a potentially important library of microbial resources and new bioactive substances. In this study, microorganisms were isolated from surface water samples collected from different sites of the Antarctic. 3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay-based cytotoxicity-tracking method was used to identify Antarctic marine microorganism resources f...

PURPOSE Chronic inflammatory processes contribute to the pathogenesis of many age-related diseases. In search of anti-inflammatory foods, we have systematically screened a variety of common dietary plants and mushrooms for their anti-inflammatory activity. METHODS A selection of 115 samples was prepared by a generic food-compatible processing method involving heating. These products were test...

Let F ∈ C[x, y, z] be a constant-degree polynomial, and let A,B,C ⊂ C with |A| = |B| = |C| = n. We show that F vanishes on at most O(n11/6) points of the Cartesian product A×B×C (where the constant of proportionality depends polynomially on the degree of F ), unless F has a special group-related form. This improves a theorem of Elekes and Szabó [2], and generalizes a result of Raz, Sharir, and ...

Abstract The Next-11 (N11) countries have witnessed great advancements in economic activities the past few years. However, simultaneous attainment of environmental sustainability and improved human well-being has remained elusive. This study probes into ecological footprint (EF) nexus N11 by applying advanced estimation techniques compatible with heterogeneity, endogeneity, cross-sectional depe...

Çalışmanın amacı, finansal gelişmenin ekonomik karmaşıklık üzerindeki etkisini N11 ülkelerinde 1995-2019 dönemi için panel veri yöntemini kullanarak analiz etmektir. Finansal küreselleşmenin kontrol değişken olarak dahil edildiği çalışmada yatay kesit bağımlılık testi yapılarak modelde bağımlılığı olduğu gözlenmiştir. Sonrasında CADF birim kök uygulanmış, serilerin düzey değerlerinde durağan be...

INTRODUCTION HTLV-I Associated Myelopathy/Tropical Spastic Paraparesis (HAM/TSP) is a progressive Myelopathy that mainly involves the corticospinal tract. Despite pronounced involvement of the lower limbs, patients also have abnormalities in their upper limbs. So, we studied somatosensory-evoked potentials (SSEPs) of the median nerve in HAM/TSP patients to determine the extent of the involvemen...

We present new observations of 470 stars using the Fibre Large Array Multi-Element Spectrograph (FLAMES) instrument in fields centered on the clusters NGC 330 and NGC 346 in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), and NGC 2004 and the N11 region in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). A further 14 stars were observed in the N11 and NGC 330 fields using the Ultraviolet and Visual Echelle Spectrograph (UV...

Abstract We derive the entire dust extinction (AV) map for Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) estimated from color excess at near-infrared wavelengths. Using percentile method we recently adopted to evaluate AV distribution along line of sight, three-dimensional (3D) maps three massive star-forming regions N44, N79, and N11 based on IRSF/SIRIUS point source catalog. The 3D are compared with hydrogen ...
