We present the Express Broadcast Network (EBN), a network used for quick and reliable broadcast of control messages in multicomputer networks. The EBN can be implemented with a single extra wire per network link and with minimal extra hardware at each routing node. However, it provides very fast broadcast mechanisms that take advantage of all redundancy in the network to deliver messages regard...

The embedded Bayesian networks (EBN) introduced in this paper, are a generalization of the embedded hidden Markov models previously used for face and character recognition. An EBN is defined recursively as a hierarchical structure where the ”parent” node is a Bayesian network (BN) that conditions the EBNs or the observation sequence that describes the nodes of the ”child” layer. With an EBN, on...

Menopause causes cognitive and memory dysfunction due to impaired neuronal plasticity in the hippocampus. Sirtuin-1 (SIRT1) downregulation in the hippocampus is implicated in the underlying molecular mechanism. Edible bird's nest (EBN) is traditionally used to improve general wellbeing, and in this study, we evaluated its effects on SIRT1 expression in the hippocampus and implications on ovarie...

BACKGROUND Foot ulceration is one of the most common complications associated with diabetes that needs to be managed. In Iran, prevalence of diabetes foot ulcer is 3%. According to studies, evidence-based nursing (EBN) is an effective alternative to facilitate clinical decision making in patient care and may lead to quality improvement in nursing practice. The aims of this study are to assess t...

Focusing on the high dispersion of stable isotope ratios (δ13C, δ15N, δ18O, δ2H) in edible bird's nest (EBN), a robust method was developed to simultaneously discriminate and quantify three types substances (sialic acid, egg white food gums) added separately into EBN. Results showed that by establishing data processing formula improve cohesion samples' ratios, discriminant achieved with an accu...

We examined the therapeutic effect of an ethanol extract derived from Boehmeria nivea (Linn.) Gaudich in a mouse model of experimental colitis. Treatment with 70% ethanol extract derived from B. nivea (EBN) at a dose of 100, 200, or 500 mg/(kg · d) improved colon shortening, body weight, the disease activity index (DAI), and histopathological score of DSS-induced colitis mice. DSS significantly...

Abstract Edible bird's nest (EBN) is a traditional food which was nourishing and functional. Particularly, there the epidermal growth factor (EGF) in EBN, thought to play an important role promoting skin repair. However, type content of EGF EBN were not determined yet. In this study, identified as bird by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method validated be accurate precise. Moreover, it found...

Edible bird’s nest (EBN)islong known as a delicacy and medicine among the Chinese communities all over the world. This work reports thephysicochemical, biochemical and antibacterial properties of EBN obtained from the swiftlet premises in Batu Pahat, Johor, Malaysia. Carbohydrates (46.47%) and proteins (35.8%) were the major constituents, with little fats (1.5%) and no fibre. Amino acid analysi...
