In this work we study the effect of some electrical prosperities on synthetic rubber reinforced with carbon black diluted in heptanes with concentrations from 0.2% gm/mole to 2.0% gm/ mole in temperatures range (100, 150, 200, 250, 300) C associated with amount weight of black carbon 5wt% added to the diluted rubber. The results of electrical properties measurement of Buna rubber reinforced wit...

False mildew is a serious disease of safflower crops in the Yaqui Valley, Mexico, and is caused by infection with a fungus belonging to the genus Ramularia. In the present study, a fungus isolated from leaf lesions was grown under different growth conditions in order to study its mycelial growth and spore production, determining that the solid medium of Septoria tritici at 18 °C of incubation a...

Results from clinical studies suggest that pregnancy alters hepatic drug metabolism in a cytochrome P450 (P450) isoform-specific manner, and rising concentrations of female hormones are potentially responsible for the changes. The objective of this study was to comprehensively characterize the effects of estrogen and progesterone on the expression and activity of major drugmetabolizing P450s. T...

In this paper, utilization of clustering algorithms for data fusion in decision level is proposed. The results of automatic isolated word recognition, which are derived from speech spectrograph and Linear Predictive Coding (LPC) analysis, are combined with each other by using fuzzy clustering algorithms, especially fuzzy k-means and fuzzy vector quantization. Experimental results show that the ...

Three strains of facultatively anaerobic thermotolerant and moderately halophilic bacteria were isolated from two Jordanian hot spring locations. The novel Bacillus strains were short rods, Gram-positive, motile and spore formers. The strains were capable of anaerobic (but not aerobic) growth at 63C, moderately halophilic, able to grow at NaCl concentration range of 12 15 % and at temperatures ...

Pancreatic cancer is one of the most lethal malignancies worldwide. To illustrate the pathogenic mechanism(s), we looked into the expression and function of miR-329 associated with pancreatic cancer development. It was found that miR-329 expression was downregulated in the pancreatic cancer patients who demonstrated significantly shorter overall survival than the patients having upregulated exp...

The influence of dietary supplementation with dehydroepiandrosterone-sulphate (DHEA-S) at 0.6% was investigated in male Syrian golden hamsters initiated by treatments with azoxymethane(AOM), and dihydroxy-di-n-propyl nitrosamine (DHPN), timed after transfer from a choline-deficient to a normal diet. These carcinogens respectively target the colon, and the respiratory tract, the liver and pancre...
