The positions in the HR diagram and the kinematic characteristics of rapidly oscillating and non-oscillating chemically peculiar stars are obtained using new Hipparcos proper motions and parallaxes, and our own radial velocity measurements. We find that rapidly oscillating stars, as a group, are (−0.47±0.34) mag above the zero-age main sequence (ZAMS), while the non-oscillating stars are (−1.20...

Introduction: Digital radiography has a major role in nowadays healthcare system so radiation protection (justification and optimization) is important in this field. Many related organizations to protection suggested to establish national and regional diagnostic reference level for medical procedures. Reference levels are typically set at the 75th percentile of the dose distri...

Inflammation of pancreatic parenchyma is said to be pancreatitis. It can be acute, presenting as emergency with short history or chronic as a continuation of acute with a long history. Autodigestion is responsible for pancreatitis on background of premature activation of pancreatic enzymes within the pancreas. Acute Pancreatitis is acute inflammation of the pancrease which can be mild to modera...

{sl Let $[n]={1,dots, n}$ be colored in $k$ colors. A rainbow AP$(k)$ in $[n]$ is a $k$ term arithmetic progression whose elements have different colors. Conlon, Jungi'{c} and Radoiv{c}i'{c} cite{conlon} prove that there exists an equinumerous 4-coloring of $[4n]$ which is rainbow AP(4) free, when $n$ is even. Based on their construction, we show that such a coloring of $[4n]$...

The bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BST) is known to contain estrogen (E)- concentrating neurons. In addition, injections of E into BST have been reported to potentiate the sympathoinhibitory arterial pressure (AP) and heart rate (HR) responses elicited by glutamate (Glu) stimulation. In this study, the effect of GABA-A antagonist receptors, bicuculline methiodide (BMI), in the rostral ven...

Background: The objective was to explore the value of the CT value difference (△HU) and CT value ratio (CVR) between the hepatic arterial (AP), portal (PP), and delayed phases (DP) to differentiate the small Hepatocellular Carcinoma (SHCC, ≤ 3 cm) from the small Focal nodular hyperplasia (SFNH, ≤ 3 cm). Materials and Methods: All the lesions were confirmed by clinically and/or pathologically an...

curcumin (cur) is a hydrophobic molecule and beneficial antioxidant with known anticancer property. the bioavailability of curcumin is low because of its hydrophobic structure. mesoporous silica nanoparticles (msn) loaded by cur were used as nanocarriers for sustained release of cur in four different media such as simulated gastric,intestinal, colon and body fluids (sgf, sif, scf, and sbf, resp...
