Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a common and life‑threatening type of malignant cancer, which is associated with a high mortality rate. Cisplatin (CDDP) is a commonly used chemotherapy drug with significant side effects. Brusatol (BR) is one of the principal chemical compounds isolated from the Chinese herb Bruceae Fructus, which has been reported to markedly inhibit the proliferation of numerous ca...

Further investigations on phytochemical constituents of dichloromethane extract fromroots of Salvia lachnocalyx (S. lachnocalyx) led to the isolation and identification of eightknown diterpenoids from this plant for the first time. The chemical structures of the purifiedcompounds were elucidated using spectroscopic analyses including EI-MS, 1H and 13C NMR andby compariso...

AbstractObjective: This current study was done to find any correlation between clinical mastitis and lameness occurrence and incidence in dairy farms.Design: This prospective field trial was done on a case control study basis. Cows were divided into two mastitis and control group and lameness recorded and compared in both groups.Procedures: This current study was done during 9...

Document images produced by scanner or digital camera, usually suffer from geometric and photometric distortions. Both of them deteriorate the performance of OCR systems. In this paper, we present a novel method to compensate for undesirable geometric distortions aiming to improve OCR results. Our methodology is based on finding text lines by dynamic local connectivity map and then applying a l...

OVATE gene was first identified as a key regulator of fruit shape in tomato. OVATE family proteins (OFPs) are characterized as plant-specific transcription factors and conserved in Arabidopsis, tomato, and rice. Roles of OFPs involved in plant development and growth are largely unknown. Brassinosteroids (BRs) are a class of steroid hormones involved in diverse biological functions. OsGKS2 plays...

Abstract In this paper weaker and stronger forms of fuzzy b-mappings are introduced and studied using the concept of fuzzy generalized b-closed sets which are named as fagb-continuous, fagb-irresolute and fagb-closed maps. Also fgbT ∗ 1/2 spaces, fuzzy b-locally closed sets, fb-homeomorphisms, fb*-homeomorphisms, fgb-neighbourhood and fgbq-neighbourhood are introduced and studied. Several inter...
