CA1 region of hippocampus has an important role in learning and memory. Previous reports have shown that androgens like testosterone and its metabolites are present in high concentration in CA1 region of hippocampus. Androgen receptors have also high density in this region. Therefore, it is suggested that neurohormones in CA1 have an important role in learning and memory. It is likely that...

Sex steroid hormones have been shown to affect adrenocortical function and trophism, yet little is known about androgen action in human adrenocortical gland. In this study we examined the effects of androgens on transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF/beta1) production by the human adrenocortical cell line, NCI-H295, which we recently demonstrated to express androgen receptor and whose growth is ...

Distributed Hash Tables (DHTs) provide scalable mechanisms for implementing resource discovery services in structured Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks. However, DHT-based lookups do not support some types of queries which are fundamental in several classes of applications. A way to support arbitrary queries in structured P2P networks is implementing unstructured search techniques on top of DHT-based...

Due to high power consumption and other problems, it is unlikely that orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) would be included in the uplink of future 6G standard. High OFDM systems motivated by peak-to-average ratio (PAPR) introduced inverse Fourier transform (IFFT) processing kernel time domain. Linear precoding symbols frequency domain using discrete Hartley (DHT) could used minim...

The involvement of the serotonergic system in spatial learning and a possible correlation between serotonergic modulation of hippocampal electrical activity and spatial learning were studied in rats. Control, partial septal-lesioned (SL), 5,7-dihydroxytryptamine (5,7-DHT)-injected (DHT), double-lesioned (5,7-DHT and SL; DL), and DL rats that were transplanted with embryonic raphe grafts into th...

The disruption of the reproductive system of male and female animals in the wild has been attributed to environmental chemicals (xenobiotics). The effects seen mirror alterations one might anticipate if the steroid hormone-dependent processes that regulate these systems were impaired. To determine whether xenobiotics (present at a concentration of 100 microM) exert their action through steroid-...

We propose an evaluation method of large-scale distributed hash tables by network emulator that allows us to evaluate not only DHT algorithms but also DHT implementations. Evaluating DHT implementations is important for DHT application developers since it influences how an application utilizes a DHT. We built a platform to support our method and evaluated four implementations with various scena...

BACKGROUND The data concerning the effects and safety of androgen in human breast tissue are conflicting. OBJECTIVE Our aim was to analyze the effects of androgens on normal human breast tissue (HBT). APPROACH We cultured explants of HBT (obtained from reduction mammoplasty operations of postmenopausal women) with or without testosterone (T) and 5α-dihydrotestosterone (DHT) or in combinatio...

1. The percentage binding of testosterone (T) and oestradiol (E2) to sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) and human serum albumin (HSA) was determined over a range of SHBG concentrations of 16-250 nmol of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) bound/l. It was found that the binding of both T and E2 to HSA was a function of their binding to SHBG and bore an inverse relationship to it. After removal of both SH...

An effective encapsulation solution for flexible CIGS is urgently needed to ensure a competitive market entry of the technology. In this work, we demonstrate feasibility effectively encapsulate module-level (10 × 10 cm2) CIGS/glass solar cells by employing thin Al2O3 barrier layer grown atomic deposition (ALD). As determined direct methodology, nm ALD-Al2O3 proved be sufficient in preventing el...
