We previously reported that the barrier-protective effects of oxidized 1-palmitoyl-2-arachidonoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (OxPAPC) on pulmonary endothelial cells (ECs) delineate the role of Rac- and Cdc42-dependent mechanisms and described the involvement of the focal adhesion (FA) protein paxillin in enhancement of the EC barrier upon OxPAPC challenge. This study examined a potential role ...

Objective(s): In previous studies, researchers observed that doxepin could improve cognitive processes and has protective effectson the central nervous system. Thus, this study was designed to analyze the effects of doxepin on β-amyloid (Aβ)-induced memory impairment and neuronal toxicity in ratand to explore the underlying mechanism. Materials and Methods: Rats were treated with Aβ1-42 and dox...

in the present study, ptruce/mwnts nanocatalysts synthesized via polyol process technique are applied as anode electro-catalyst in methanol electro-oxidation reaction (mor). to characterize the nanocatalysts, tem, xrd, eds and xps are investigated. cyclic voltammetry and choronoamperometry are used to evaluate the electro-catalytic activity and stability of the catalysts in methanol electro-oxi...

Background: To enhance the dose to tumor, the use of high atomic number elements has been proposed.Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of gold nanoparticle distribution on dose enhancement in tumor when the tumor is irradiated by typical monoenergetic X-ray beams by considering homogeneous and inhomogeneous distributions of gold nanoparticles (GNPs) in the tumor.Method...

the current study was conducted in order to evaluate the effect of mono and di-potassium phosphate combination (mdkp) on some quantitative and qualitative characteristics of iranian pomegranate (cv. malas-e-saveh) in pomegranate research center of saveh city, in 2012. to adjust the ph of the solution, the mono potassium phosphate and di-potassium phosphate combined with each other in the ratio ...

In this paper an estimator for speech enhancement based on Laplacian Mixture Model has been proposed. The proposed method, estimates the complex DFT coefficients of clean speech from noisy speech using the MMSE  estimator, when the clean speech DFT coefficients are supposed mixture of Laplacians and the DFT coefficients of  noise are assumed zero-mean Gaussian distribution. Furthermore, the MMS...
