Our aim was to investigate the influence of microgravity on the sensitivity of the skin to mechanical stimulation, epidermal thickness, peripheral nerve density in the upper dermis, and serum levels of a stress marker in a rat hindlimb suspension (HS) model. Thirty 8-week-old male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 3 groups: HS, n=10; sham HS, n=10; control, n=10. The suspension system was ...

Leader election is the most critical part of any distributed system and also challenging one. By optimizing the performance of leader election, performance of system can be improved. There is already number of algorithms but in this paper there is a proposal of a new Leader Election algorithm for synchronous ring. In this proposal we are trying to tradeoff among time, message and space complexi...

Backround: Single incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy [SILC] is usually performed using titanium clips [TC] for occlusion of the cystic duct and cystic artery. The use of Harmonic scalpel [HS] in SILC to be applied has been reported. In this study we aimed to compare effect of HS and TC application for closure of the cystic duct and artery in patients undergoing SILC. Methods: Totally 70 pati...

Photocatalytic H 2 production from water splitting is an effective method to solve energy crisis and environmental pollution simultaneously. Herein, carbon@CdS composite hollow spheres (C@CdS-HS) are fabricated via a facile hydrothermal using porous carbon (C-HS) as the template. The C@CdS-HS shows excellent photocatalytic -generation rate of 20.9 mmol h ?1 g (apparent quantum efficiency 15.3% ...

BACKGROUND This study evaluates the association between high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I (hs-cTnI) and T (hs-cTnT) and coronary calcium concentration (CAC) detected by coronary computed tomography (CCT) and evaluated with the Agatston score in patients with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD). METHODS Patients undergoing CCT during routine clinical care were enrolled prospectively. CCT...

The prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and hypertension has markedly increased worldwide. The purpose of the present study was to examine the effects of a high-salt intake on the systolic blood pressure (SBP) and vascular responses in WBN/Kob-Leprfa/fa (WBKDF) rats, a new spontaneous animal model of T2DM. Male WBKDF rats and age-matched Wistar rats at 6 weeks of age were each divided...

Sulfate reduction and SRB growth kinetics were studied in growth media for SRB (Dev et al., 2014), MSRB containing marine waste extract as nitrogen source with increasing SO4 concentration, such as 1500, 3500, 5500 and 7500 mg L. With increase in SO4 concentration, SO4 reduction rate, its efficiency, SRB specific growth rate, HS generation rate were deteriorated. In the presence of 1500 mg L SO...
