background: the aim of this study was to understand any association between differentiated thyroid carcinoma (dtc) and ile3434thr xrcc7 gene polymorphism (genbank accession number: rs7830743). dtc is the most prevalent thyroid neoplasm, which includes papillary and follicular cell carcinoma. xrcc7 gene encodes a protein that functions in non-homologous end joining dna repair pathway. non-synony...

background: x-ray repair cross-complementing group 1 (xrcc1) gene is a dna repair gene and its non-synonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms (snp) may influence dna repair capacity which has been considered as a modifying risk factor for cancer development. methods: a case-control study was conducted to investigate impact of three frequently studied polymorphisms (arg194trp, arg280his and arg3...

Energy storage is a vital aspect for the successful implementation of renewable energy resources on global scale. Herein, we investigated redox cycle nickel dithiocarbamates potential use as catholytes in non-aqueous flow batteries. The unique (Ni(dtc)2) offers ability to better understand these reactions by displaying 2e- chemistry upon oxidation from Ni(II) → Ni(IV) but 1e- reduction Ni(III) ...

Background: The aim of this study was to understand any association between differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) and Ile3434Thr XRCC7 gene polymorphism (GenBank accession number: rs7830743). DTC is the most prevalent thyroid neoplasm, which includes papillary and follicular cell carcinoma. XRCC7 gene encodes a protein that functions in non-homologous end joining DNA repair pathway. Non-synony...

This paper presents a Direct Torque Control (DTC) strategy for the five-phase induction motor driven by a three-level five-phase inverter in order to improve the performance of the five-phase induction motor. In the proposed DTC technique, only 22 voltage vectors out of 243 available voltage vectors in a three-level five-phase inverter are selected and are divided in 10 sectors each with a widt...

In conventional direct torque control (DTC) of induction machines, undesirable flux and torque ripples are produced. These occur since non of the selected inverter's voltage vectors are able to generate the exact voltage required to produce the desired changes in the electromagnetic torque and stator flux linkage in most of the switching instances. In addition, when direct torque control is imp...

The Direct Torque Control (DTC) is one of the most effective control and modern methods for high performance AC drives in a wide variety of industrial application and conventional DTC technique uses two constant reference values stator flux and torque ripple. In this paper, two approach intelligent techniques such as fuzzy logic (FL) and Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) used to improving the pe...

Coexistence of differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) and thyroid autoimmune diseases could represent a mere coincidence due to the frequent occurrence of autoimmunity, but there may also be a pathological and causative link between the two conditions. The coincidence of DTC with Hashimoto's disease has been variably reported at between 0.5 and 22.5% and of DTC with Graves' disease between 0 and 9...

Objectives. Invasion of differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) into surrounding structures can lead to morbid procedures such as laryngectomy and tracheal resection. In these patients, there is a potential role for neoadjuvant therapy. Methods. We identified three studies involving the treatment of DTC with neoadjuvant chemotherapy: two from Slovenia and one from Japan. Results. These studies demo...
