background and aims. the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of propolis were studied. since saliva contains antioxidants and radiotherapy of the head and neck mainly affects the saliva, salivary antioxidant defensive mechanism is compromised with oxidative stress produced by radiation therapy. therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of propolis on salivar...

the objectives of this study were to evaluate the effects of nitrogen fertigation frequency on lint yield, lint properties, chlorophyll content (spad readings), and the photosynthesis rate (pr) of cotton. this study was carried out in the southeastern anatolia region of turkey in 2011 and 2012 with drip-irrigated cotton. the maximum lint yield (1,856 kg ha-1) was obtained with one lateral for e...

BACKGROUND International guidelines recommend the inclusion of patients with bronchiectasis in pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) to improve exercise capacity and health-related quality of life (HRQoL). At present, the effect of PR in these patients has been poorly investigated. OBJECTIVE The aim of our retrospective analysis was to evaluate the effects and predictors of success for a PR program i...

En raison de son ampleur et ses spécificités, la crise due au Covid-19 a suscité des réponses variées part pouvoirs publics. Dans cet article, on revient sur mise en œuvre mesures temporaires souvent inédites (élargissement amortisseurs sociaux, gel licenciements, etc.), ainsi que le plan relance les réformes qui se préparent à partir ...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate one novel and two previously reported Doppler flow velocimetric techniques to estimate atrioventricular (AV) time intervals, suggested to be useful for early identification of fetuses at risk for congenital heart block. METHODS In 22 newborn infants, Doppler tracings were obtained from the mitral valve/aortic outflow and the superior vena cava/ascending aorta, as an ECG ...

Finding the I Most Probable IJxplanations (MPE) of a given evidence, Se, in a Bayesian belief network is a process to identify and order a set of composite hypotheses, His, of which the posterior probabilities are the I largest; i.e., Pr(Hii&) 2 Pr(H21&) 2 . . . L Pr(&ISlz)~ A composite hypothesis is defined as an instantiation of all the non-evidence variables in the network. It could be shown...

Moreover Bukovský [1] and Dehornoy [2] showed that the generic extension Mω[〈j0,n(κ) | n ∈ ω〉] is ⋂ n∈ω Mn in Theorem 1.1. (For the history of these results, read the introduction of Dehornoy [2] and pp.259-260 of Kanamori [6]. ) In Dehornoy [3], these results were generalized for the forcing of Magidor [7] which changes a measurable cardinal of higher Mitchell order into a singular cardinal of...

Four rhodopsins, bacteriorhodopsin (bR), halorhodopsin (hR), sensory rhodopsin (sR) and phoborhodopsin (pR) exist in archaeal membranes. bR and hR work as a light-driven ion pump. sR and pR work as a photo-sensor of phototaxis, and form signaling complexes in membranes with their respective cognate transducer proteins HtrI (with sR) and HtrII (with pR), through which light signals are transmitt...
