The 2008 Global Financial Crisis was an extreme shock to the UK housing market. Frozen international capital markets resulted in highly restrictive mortgage lending by retail banks, and collapse homebuying threatened heavily indebted housebuilding industry. To counteract threat, between 2013, Government issued shared equity loans requiring matching from housebuilders alongside bank mortgages de...

We have studied the effect of recombinant human hematopoietic growth factors (interleukin-3 [rhIL-3], granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor [rhGM-CSF], and granulocyte CSF [rhG-CSF]) on the clonal growth of human colon adenocarcinoma cell lines HTB-38, CCL 187, and WiDr (CCL 218). The factors stimulated clonal growth of HTB-38 and CCL 187 in a capillary modification of the human tumo...

INTRODUCTION Nano-hydroxyapatite (NHA) has been used for regeneration of osseous defects. Calcium-enriched mixture (CEM) cement is also used for various dental treatments. This trial compared the efficacy of NHA and CEM cement for direct pulp capping (DPC) of sound primary teeth. METHODS AND MATERIALS In this randomized clinical trial with split-mouth design, after attaining informed consent,...

Background and objective: This study was conducted to determine the appropriate cell size, days after sowing seeds by examining growth of Hemerocallis thunbergii Baker (HTB) seedlings using plug trays.Methods: The examined in four types trays (143, 70, 18, 13 mL/cell). sown were placed a greenhouse for three repetitions per treatment. seedling measured at intervals one month sowing.Results: lea...

Symmetric aromatic diselenides are potential anticancer agents with strong cytotoxic activity. In this study, the in vitro anticancer activities of a novel series of diarylseleno derivatives from the diphenyldiselenide (DPDS) scaffold were evaluated. Most of the compounds exhibited high efficacy for inducing cytotoxicity against different human cancer cell lines. DPDS 2, the compound with the l...

Abstract 5G network slicing is promising in prioritizing time‐critical protection communication wireless networks of smart grids. However, offered by telecommunication providers encompasses all grid applications, lacking granularity. Smart automation standards provide recommendations on prioritization to improve reliability but only for wired connections. Therefore, this paper investigates hier...

Activation of the sonic hedgehog (Shh) signaling pathway controls tumorigenesis in a variety of cancers. Here, we show a role for Shh signaling in the promotion of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), tumorigenicity, and stemness in the bladder cancer. EMT induction was assessed by the decreased expression of E-cadherin and ZO-1 and increased expression of N-cadherin. The induced EMT was...

During the progression of epithelial cancer, the cells may lose epithelial markers and gain mesenchymal phenotype via Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition (EMT). Such transformation of epithelial cancer cells to mesenchymal-like characteristic benefits plasticity and supports their ability to migrate. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of natural compound Caffeic Acid (CA) alone a...
