Introduction: In this study, it was aimed to investigate the potential protective effects of cinnamon (CIN) against methotrexate (MTX) induced kidney damage.Materials and Methods: Spraque dawley male rats were divided into five groups (n = 7) as: control group received no treatment; oil administered 1ml/kg olive (OO) by oral gavage during experiment; MTX given OO once a day for 14 days single d...

The cognitive activities performed by systems designers during systems development include problem understanding, problem decomposition and solution speci"cation. One aspect of object-oriented (OO) approaches to system design that appeals to many adopting organizations is the purported naturalness, i.e. the consistency of OO approaches with these cognitive activities of problem solving. Essenti...

Sub-epithelial defects (i.e., discontinuities) of the superior orbicularis oris (OO) muscle appear to be a part of the phenotypic spectrum of cleft lip with or without cleft palate (CL ± P). Analysis of the OO phenotype as a clinical tool is hypothesized to improve familial recurrence risk estimates of CL ± P. Study subjects (n = 3,912) were drawn from 835 families. Occurrences of CL ± P were c...

Methyl, methyl-d(3), and ethyl hydroperoxide anions (CH(3)OO(-), CD(3)OO(-), and CH(3)CH(2)OO(-)) have been prepared by deprotonation of their respective hydroperoxides in a stream of helium buffer gas. Photodetachment with 364 nm (3.408 eV) radiation was used to measure the adiabatic electron affinities: EA[CH(3)OO, X(2)A' '] = 1.161 +/- 0.005 eV, EA[CD(3)OO, X(2)A' '] = 1.154 +/- 0.004 eV, an...

We use Kazhdan-Lusztig bases of representations of the symmetric group to express Pfaffians with entries (ai−aj)hi+j . In the case where the parameters ai are specialized to successive powers of q, and the hi are complete functions, we obtain the q-discriminant. 1 ’ ooo oo o ’ ooo oo o ’ ooo oo o ’ ooo oo o ’ ooo oo o ’ ooo oo o ’ ooo oo o ’ ooo oo o ’ ooo oo o ’ ooo oo o ’ ooo oo o ’ ooo oo o ...

‎let $g=(v(g),e(g))$ be a graph‎, ‎$gamma_t(g)$. let $ooir(g)$ be the total domination and oo-irredundance number of $g$‎, ‎respectively‎. ‎a total dominating set $s$ of $g$ is called a $textit{total perfect code}$ if every vertex in $v(g)$ is adjacent to exactly one vertex of $s$‎. ‎in this paper‎, ‎we show that if $g$ has a total perfect code‎, ‎then $gamma_t(g)=ooir(g)$‎. ‎as a consequence, ...
