1. The first three and eighth bands in the NLRP3 expression, the first two and eighth band in the ASC expression, and the first three and eighth band in the Caspase-I expression appear to be the same bands; 2. The fourth and sixth bands in the NLRP3 expression, the fourth and sixth bands in the ASC expression, and the fourth and sixth bands in the Caspase-I expression appear to be the same band...

This survey serves as the eighth in a series of toxicology salary surveys conducted at 3-year intervals and beginning in 1988. An electronic survey instrument was distributed to 5800 individuals including members of the Society of Toxicology, American College of Toxicology, and 23 additional professional organizations. Question items inquired about gender, age, degree, years of experience, cert...

Microkernels are an intriguing technology for operating systems research in general and for real-time systems in particular. To gain experience and to explore new ground, the OS research group at Technische Universität Dresden has been developing L4/Fiasco, a real-time implementation of the L4 microkernel specification. Using this kernel, we built an architecture that supports legacy software a...

In this paper, we present a new iterative method with order of convergence eighth for solving nonlinear equations. Periteration this method requires three evaluations of the function and one evaluation of its first derivative. A general error analysis providing the eighth order of convergence is given. Several numerical examples are given to illustrate the efficiency and performance of the new ...

‎for a graph $g$ with edge set $e(g)$‎, ‎the multiplicative second zagreb index of $g$ is defined as‎ ‎$pi_2(g)=pi_{uvin e(g)}[d_g(u)d_g(v)]$‎, ‎where $d_g(v)$ is the degree of vertex $v$ in $g$‎. ‎in this paper‎, ‎we identify the eighth class of trees‎, ‎with the first through eighth smallest multiplicative second zagreb indeces among all trees of order $ngeq 14$‎.

Some factors that could influence adolescent eating behavior include: peer influences, nutrition knowledge and beliefs, mass media, and parental dietary habits. The purpose of this study was to examine the correlation of nutrition knowledge and eating behavior of a sample of middle school children. The participants were 532 students in the sixth, seventh, and eighth grades between the ages of 1...
