INTRODUCTION Vaginal sling procedures may have a negative effect on sexual function due to damage to vascular and/or neural genital structures. Even though autonomic innervation of the clitoris plays an important role in female sexual function, most studies on the neuroanatomy of the clitoris focus on the sensory function of the dorsal nerve of the clitoris (DNC). The autonomic and somatic path...

Guaranteeing performance bounds of data flows is an essential part of network engineering and certification of networks with real-time constraints. A prevalent analytical method to derive guarantees for end-to-end delay and bu↵er size is Deterministic Network Calculus (DNC). Due to the DNC system model, one decisive restriction is that only unicast flows can be analyzed. Previous attempts to an...

BACKGROUND During metazoan development, cell diversity arises primarily from asymmetric cell divisions which are executed in two phases: segregation of cytoplasmic factors and positioning of the mitotic spindle - and hence the cleavage plane -relative to the axis of segregation. When polarized cells divide, spindle alignment probably occurs through the capture and subsequent shortening of astra...

The paper addresses performance analysis associated with analysis and design of embedded real time systems with processor sharing among a number of processes. The main contribution concerns the application of Network Calculus (DNC) principles to the performance analysis of such systems, where complex data flow graphs prohibit the use of standard scheduling analysis techniques. Cyclic flow graph...

The problem of Window Flow Controlled (WFC) systems has been analysed successfully in Deterministic Network Calculus (DNC). While many results of DNC have been carried over to its stochastic extension, the problem of WFC systems has not been solved so far. This paper presents the first approach to analyse WFC in the context of Stochastic Network Calculus (SNC) for a general service inside the f...

Landslide mapping techniques have had many improvements in recent decades, the main field of development has been on traditional cartographic and to a lesser extent indirect numerical cartography. As for Direct Numerical Cartography (DNC), only few made due complexity economic cost new technologies. To meet this lack DNC GOGIRA (Ground Operative-system GIS Input Remote-data Acquisition), system...

objective: the anti-cancer properties of curcumin, a poliphenol extract from the rhizome of curry, has been confirmed by many investigators. however, low levels of uptake, tissue distribution and rapid metabolism has limited its application as an anti-cancer drug. this study is aimed at increasing curcumin's water solubility due to a biodegradable, neutral and non-toxic micellar nano-carrier ca...

Background and objectives: Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer and a major cause of morbidity globally. Hepatocellular carcinoma is a leading cause of death in the world. About 80% of all anticancer drugs are somehow related to natural products. One of the most important of these natural compounds is curcumin, the main component of turmeric that has a wide range of pharmacological...

Mononitrosocaffeidine (MNC) and dinitrosocaffeidine (DNC) are new N-nitroso compounds obtained from in vitro nitrosation of caffeidine, a hydrolysis product of caffeine present in a typically made and widely consumed tea from Kashmir (India), a high incidence area of esophageal and stomach cancer. The chemical synthesis, in vitro metabolic studies and mutagenicity of the compounds has been prev...
