Selective COX-2 inhibitors are most widely used analgesic and anti-inflammatory drugs;however, its maximal use is highly associated with various serious abnormal cardiovascularevents. Beraprost sodium (BPS), prostacyclin analogue has been shown to vasodilatory,antiplatelates, anti-inflmmatory, and antioxidant activity. The objective of the present study wasto evaluate the effect of BPS on celec...

successful clearance of hepatitis b virus (hbv) is a promising event in which host's immune system will attempt to get rid of the virus. the immunological events of hbsag seroclearance have attracted great attention in both natural history investigations and therapeutic trials. recent genome-wide association studies (gwas) has confirmed polymorphisms in the human leukocyte antigen (hla)-dp locu...

We consider FETI-DP solvers (see Farhat et al. [2001], Mandel and Tezaur [2001], Klawonn et al. [2002]) for the fast (and parallel) solution of this system, and we follow the structure described in [Toselli and Widlund, 2005, Sect 6.4]. To this end, we partition the domain Ω into non-overlapping subdomains Ωi, i = 1, . . . ,N such that the global mesh T (Ω) resolves the interface ⋃ i 6= j ∂Ωi∩ ...

in this paper, after reviewing the classification of quantifiers, we aim toanswer the question of whether the merge position of quantifiers kheili and ba’zi is in the dp. contra moazzami (2006) and samiian (1983), we show that these quantifiers do not originate  in the dp. by appealing to the preference of merge over move and in the light of giusti (1991), we propose that these elements merge a...

In this paper, we describe a new species of the genus Allonychiurus Yoshii, 1995, characterized by the presence of an apical swelling on the fourth antennal segment as well as a combination of chaetotaxic and pseudocellar characters. The genus Allonychiurus is redefined. Four of its species are considered as incertae sedis: Allonychiurus michelbacheri (Bagnall, 1948), Allonychiurus spinosus (Ba...

In present study, a three-step multi-objective optimization algorithm of cyclone separators is catered for the design objectives. First, the pressure drop (Dp) and collection efficiency (h) in a set of cyclone separators are numerically evaluated. Secondly, two meta models based on the evolved Group Method of Data Handling (GMDH) type neural networks are regarded to model the Dp and h as the re...
