Nine species of the Parapolybia indica species-group in eastern parts of Asia are reviewed. Four new species are described: P. flava sp. nov. (Vietnam), P. crocea sp. nov. (Japan), P. nana sp. nov. (Vietnam), and P. albida sp. nov. (Vietnam). Parapolybia indica (de Saussure, 1854), P. bioculata van der Vecht, 1966 and P. tinctipennis (Cameron, 1900) are redescribed. The status is reinstanted fo...

BACKGROUND Benzyl isothiocyanate (BITC), a compound found in cruciferous vegetables, has been reported to have anticancer properties, but the mechanism whereby it inhibits growth of human pancreatic cancer cells is incompletely understood. METHODS Human pancreatic cancer cells (BxPC-3, AsPC-1, Capan-2, MiaPaCa-2, and Panc-1) and immortalized human pancreatic cells (HPDE-6) were treated with v...

Abstract We report measurements of the flux-integrated ν̅μ and + νμ charged-current cross-sections on water hydrocarbon targets using T2K anti-neutrino beam with a mean energy 0.86 GeV. The signal is defined as (anti-)neutrino interaction one induced $\mu^\pm$ no detected charged pion or proton. These are performed new WAGASCI module recently added to setup in combination INGRID Proton Module. p...

The TRIUMF Weak Interaction Symmetry Test (TWIST) experiment has measured the spectrum of positrons from muon decay and determined the decay parameters: ρ = 0.75014 ± 0.00017(stat.) ± 0.00044(syst.) ± 0.00011(η), δ = 0.75067 ± 0.00030(stat.) ± 0.00067(syst.), P π µ ξ = 1.0003 ± 0.0006(stat.) ± 0.0038(syst.). The results are in good agreement with the Standard Model. Future prospects for this me...

BACKGROUND Standardizing the interpretation of "stat", "emergent", "urgent", and "now" medication orders can improve patient safety. However, the effect of implementing standardized definitions on the turnaround time for medication orders in hospital pharmacy dispensaries has not been studied. OBJECTIVES To examine the effects of using formal definitions for "stat", "emergent", "urgent", and ...

The aim of this study was to develop and obtain the reliability and validity of 8 items short form of Spielberger stat-trait anxiety inventory (STAI) for use in circumstances where the full form is inappropriate. In this study a correlational method is carried out. Using the available sampling, the sample subjects were selected from 161 patients who referred to one of hospitals of Isfahan. In t...

OBJECTIVE Type I interferon (IFN) signaling is a central pathogenic pathway in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and therapeutics targeting type I IFN signaling are in development. Multiple proteins with overlapping functions play a role in IFN signaling, but the signaling events downstream of receptor engagement are unclear. This study was undertaken to investigate the roles of the type I an...
