BACKGROUND It was shown that plants derived agents are being used for treatment of cancer. In this study, crude ethanolic extract of Consolida orientalis L., Ferula assa-foetida L., Coronilla varia L., Orobanche orientalis G. Beck were screened in vitro for cytotoxic activity on Hela (Human cervical carcinoma) cell line. OBJECTIVES We performed the present study to evaluate the in vitro cytot...

Inputs to mathematical models can be very uncertain because of incomplete knowledge. These input uncertainties propagate to output uncertainties, and an estimation of these output uncertainties, and of the importance of the individual inputs to these output uncertainties, would be desirable. These estimates can be calculated via Uncertainty Analysis (UA) and Sensitivity Analysis (SA) respective...

Background and objectives: Ferula assa-foetida (asafoetida) is a native Iranian species which grows in different regions and climates in Iran. The plant is well known in Iranian Traditional Medicine as well as folk medicine for treatment of diseases. Several studies have been carried out on the essential oil of this species collected from different areas of Iran. This study is the first report ...

Introduction: Previous studies have demonstrated cytotoxic effects of Ferula assa-foetida. In the present study, anti-proliferative effect this plant on two species cancer cells related to pancreatic (MIA PaCa-2) and ovarian (SKOV-3) was investigated.

Shop-around spatial behaviors of downtown visitors are characterized as MultiPurpose-MultiStop (MPMS). However, the authors’ investigations have revealed visitors frequently switch planned actions and generate improvised actions. By using an agent-based approach, especially with a medium-size specimen, simulating such spatial behaviors opens a rich vein of research, not only into such practical...

We present a major new release of ASSA-PBN, a software tool for modelling, simulation, and analysis of probabilistic Boolean networks (PBNs). PBNs are a widely used computational framework for modelling biological systems. The steady-state dynamics of a PBN is of special interest and obtaining it poses a significant challenge due to the state space explosion problem which often arises in the ca...

A mathematical representation of a photovoltaic (PV) solar cell and module performances is demonstrated in this paper. One diode based on the Shockley equation model adopted for simulation extract performance indications. The simulated particular 235W operating an existing 806.52 kWp grid connected power plant located at Assa, southern Morocco. demonstrates power-voltage (P-V) current-voltage (...
