The effect of diet supplemented with red beet (Beta vulgaris L.) leaf on antioxidant status of plasma and tissue was investigated in C57BL/6J mice. The mice were randomly divided into two groups after one-week acclimation, and fed a high fat (20%) and high cholesterol (1%) diet without (control group) or with 8% freeze-dried red beet leaf (RBL group) for 4 weeks. In RBL mice, lipid peroxidation...

Abstract Objectives: It is important to know the exact location and anatomic variety of inferior alveolar nerve canal for different procedures of mandibular surgeries. The aim of the present study was to evaluate inferior mandibular canal’s anatomic position by Cone-beam Computed Tomography (CBCT). Methods: In a cross sectional study, CBCT were taken and assessed from 130 patients (...

The problem of constructing pseudorandom generators that fool halfspaces has been studied intensively in recent times. For fooling halfspaces over {±1}n with polynomially small error, the best construction known requires seed-length O(log(n)) [MZ13]. Getting the seed-length down to O(log(n)) is a natural challenge in its own right, which needs to be overcome in order to derandomize RL. In this ...

BACKGROUND The telomeric 3'-overhang (G-tail) length is essential for the biological effects of telomere dysfunction in vitro, but the association of length with aging and cardiovascular risk is unclear in humans. We investigated the association between the telomere G-tail length of leukocytes and cardiovascular risk, age-related white matter changes (ARWMCs), and endothelial function. METHOD...

air spindles are one of the main elements of precise machine tools. vibration of these spindles is one of the vital issues necessary for investigation. among parameters which influence air spindle vibrations are rotational speed, compression air method, input nozzle diameter, air gap pressure. in this study using ansys, the effects of air gap thickness on air spindle vibrations have been invest...

The length and structure of the transitional zone in the tunica media in the renal artery of adult male cats were investigated. In addition, the volume of the lumen and different layers in transitional and nontransitional zones in the right and left sides were also determined. Morphometrical, histological and stereological studies were performed on 16 renal arteries of 8 adult male cats. After ...

in this study 121 prescapular, prefemoral and popliteal lymph node of male healthy camel from mashhad abattoir were collected. after collecting of specimens factors such as: length, width, thickness, weight, volume and density of each lymph node were measured by caliper device. all factors were analyzed and compared using excel program. it was revealed that, normal dimensions of right prescapul...

It has long been noted that conversational partners tend to exhibit increasingly similar pitch, intensity, and timing behavior over the course of a conversation. However, the metrics developed to measure this similarity to date have generally failed to capture the dynamic temporal aspects of this process. In this paper, we propose new approaches to measuring interlocutor similarity in spoken di...
